it does, i have a class at 10am and i havent been asleep yet dont think i will be able to focus on biology at this point . the worst thing is my refill is due tomorrow . i know i will be tempted to give in . every bottle i run out of gets me that much closer to getting fed up with the fact that something has control over me . i havent even had my back surgery yet so i know i have to have them sometime. 2 ruptured disks from heafty CNA work back in sep. of 06 should i tell my doctor about my problem ? or should i handel it myself? i so dont know what  to do . im a lil scared. chris

Hi Chris. We are all here for you...It is hard going through w/d but the desparation has brought many of us to this forum because I think we all know there is something better for us than this addiction.We are looking for some relief and how to stop the cycle!  You've taken a big step just by talking about this and while it's certainly not easy and you feel like ****/ there is something better at the end of this. Keep talking if it helps. I am on day 5 c/t off 10-15 norco/day for two years and I know how that works...waiting for the next refill...hoping you can stretch the pills out and desperatley wanting to stop. I actually feel pretty good today and I know how hard it was on the first few days. Lots of warm baths helped me. Others have good advice on what has helped them. Hang in!!!!!

the symptoms are too bad for me to handle . im vomiting , dizzy , paranoid , restless, cant sleep , physicaly and mentaly hurting . i went to my on campus councelor and she is sending me to a medical detox establishment . I about lost it when they told me to call my dad and tell him i am going to leave for the week .It is the first my parents have even heard of the fact that i have an opiate addiction he was heart broken and i told him to break it to mom easily so she wont be as hurt as if i droped the bomb on her . im extremely taped out of tears today . i love you all for being here for me i dont see how you all can do it cold turkey , i dont want any of you to think that i had an easy way out of witdrawls . i feel sorry that i dont have to go through that any more and there will still be people here going through literal hell while im in a comfy bed full of drugs . i am sorry to all of you that worked hard for your detoxification and very proud of you all . i love your spirits very deeply and wish that god grant you peace in your detox . love a very concerned sufferer chris .

To: Good luck Chris
Chris please take care of yourself. Don't be sorry for the rest of us. I am on my 6th day c/t Lortab... I have felt like I was in hell.And I am really considering using now (even if I have to go get it illegally) But I am not and that is how I found this board. I wanted to occupy myself. If it were not for the fact that I have kids and my husband worked 14 hours a day I would have run to rehab. I spoke with this great place and they even offered to fly me out there and fly me home. I say that you are taking a courageous step towards your future! I commend you for that. Once you go stick to the program because it can work. I am an addict and I had 2 parents that were alcoholics. Get this my mom also set up the first drug and alcohol treatment centers in the U.S.... How's that for irony? :) If you need to talk I am at ***@****. Good luck to you and to my fellow survivors on this message board.
