Hydrocodone Addiction

[maggie11]

Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting any kind of question anywhere, but here goes.  I have been taking Lorcet for a while now.  I started taking it with a dr. prescription for pilonidal cyst disease.  I didn't start taking it for kicks or a high, but a legitimate health condition.  I have weaned myself off by tapering.  I took the last pill 32 hours ago.  I have not really had any withdrawal effects other than feeling a bit nervous.  I'm very nervous that it will get far worse than this, but it doesn't matter, because I have finally made up my mind.  I just found out that we are having another baby-and I am soooo excited.  I want this stuff out of my system and over and done with once and for all.  Can anyone tell me what I am likely to exerience in the nex hours/days?  Thanks in advance and I am so glad that you all are here. I really feel like you can give me the support I need to be finished.

Really glat to hear your last 36 or so hrs. werent that bad..  Dont be lured into ANY treatment if at all possable.. Your doing great, and as your preg. progresses I think the thoughts of the hydro. will seep into the back of your head and dissapear.  I really think that when a preg. woman takes methadone or buprenorphine,  the baby becomes predisposed to becoming an addict and I've known a few woman that were addicts and in treatment, and some who were userers and not in treatment. Clean is the best way to go.  You will still think about the meds. for months,  thats how strong the addiction is. I've been an opiate addict for 12yrs. and I also started on lortab but I opted for treatment and that started another addiction!!  Be clean!!

Check out the Thomas Recipe and FLaddicts amino protocol (lower right corner of this page) and pay attention. Normal w/d's (people are different) should last from 4-8 days with things getting steadily better after day 4-5......there is generally depression and anxiety to address even after that. Use heating pads/electric blanket for leg and abdominal cramps, warm showers/baths are good....maintain nutrition and hydration.....it is like the flu - and you can tell people that is what you have if you need to.....
