Lortab withdrawal over

[susieq87]

Not so much as a question but to let everyone know this is the first morning I hve felt really good, two weeks ago last Lortab, some Amben for 9 days and ocasional ativan and last night didn't take anything.  This forum was a lifesaver as most people, even the doctor, don't really want to hear it.  I am contuning meetings.  Thank you

First, Congrats. But I have a question... How??? I take lortabs also and I went out of town this weekend to my dad's to try and detox cold turkey. My parents had drug problems and they understand about the wd's. I got all the vitamins I've read would help through the blah of it and was off work for 5 days but as soon as i got back into town all i could think about was getting some pills. I havent' been able to go more than 2 days without one in almost a year and am so tired of getting up everyday thinking of them. I can't work without them... i suppose i could but it's hard. I wait tables and my attitude makes my money so if i'm not feeling it i'm not making anything. I've been trying to get some xanax to help me through those first few days of uneasy, anxious feelings, but i don't have health insurance which even if i did i'm sure a doc wouldn't prescribe me anything. I'm so scared and confused. I know I need to stop to and I want to, but when i think of all the things i need to do tomorrow I know that i won't get motivated to do them without some pill any pill in my system. Did you taper or just stop? What's best?

What kind of health issues do you have Susieq87?

[susieq87]

Not too many cravings.  Took a few Ambien and the 2nd week of them caused me to feel as if I was coming out of a fogso now am trying trazadone, do you know of similar sleep aids? Meetings are good but so far just one a week, preety much one day good and the next iffy.  I do have health issues resulting from prolonged druguse.  Thanks for asking...
