Question

Hi all. I am detoxing from a 7 year lortab 10/500 habit. I was taking about 15 pills a day. I went cold turkey and so far am on day 9 as of today. My question is: why am i so miserable still? I didn't start having withdrawals until day three and so far day 5 thru today has been hell!!! I am over the agitation, yawning,sweats, diarrhea and depression. But now I have horrible low back pain, down to the bone chills, sneezing (about 50 times a day) crippling fatigue and insomnia. I am soaking three times a day in hot baths to take away the chills and back pain. When in the world are these symptoms going to go away? On all these rehab shows they claim four days and you will be fine. I Just need some assurance because I am so close to taking two pills to make it go away. Oh, by the way, I am not sick with a cold or anything because I don't have a fever. Thank you-

Thats what made me pick up again,, I was around the dsy your on and I could not take it anymore, take it from me big mistake.  Im not taking as much as I was which was 15 a day, but, now im taking 1-3 and we know how that it you are back to square one,, I am going to look into the subutex some more this seems like it works for so many so well.. Please hang in there,, Dont cave like I did, be strong, take your vitamins and take care of you...

hang in there. like beachtowel said. Why start over. Your part of the way there. Its not a cold of flue typical withdrawls. hot baths. calming teas. In rehab they give lots of mulitvitamins.healty diet. rest. it will get better.

I agree with the fact you dont have a cold.
Five years of toxins in your body, your colon is probably poluted with toxins and you expected what?

Don't believe everything you see on TV..lol

The worst is over another few days you will feel much better take some pills and start over if you want,  not a good thing to do.

Stay brave, your doing the right thing hang in there.

good luck
