10 days off Hydrocodone
All: The fatigue is trying my patience. Its been 10 days. Withdrawal is over. Been through some hardcore W/Ds in the past from oxy, methadone, morphine, etc abuse. I can get up and go to work now and I'm committed to ending this madness. I've already done the quit, then restart the abuse circle a number of times. I always end up in the same place. So, the question is......(drumroll)
Do I need to do the 5HTP, B6, L-tryosine, zinc replacement therapy or do I just need to tough it out. I abused pills hard core for the last 5 years but tapered down to 20 -30 mg of hydrocodone before this last attempt. I don't have RLS but I do still have sleep problems and I really detest the fatigue. I make sure to have a spare set of clothes in the care just in case I forget the immodium. For you "been there, done that folks", whats my next step?

I admire your progress and determination. Thank You for sharing your story .. it is possible.
Congratulations to you on 1 month! I don't think anybody gets tired of reading such encouraging news! You are doing great! Keep it up!
Well, you're probably tired of my daily updates but... this is my 1 month anniversary. All of you have helped me so much by encouraging me to stay the course and reassuring me that things will gradually get back to normal. THANKS! I recognize the nature of the battle, that its for the rest of my life, but that's just fine. The rewards are worth it. I've come to realize the delusions that come with the abuse, that I had more energy, that I got more done, that I felt better. These things, in retrospect, simply weren't true. I love my new life. I get up in the morning without my little helper and know, "this is real life". I'm good with real life. Thanks Again!
