8 days in almost 9 :)

[girlinterrupted00]

I feel great now, but my doctor forgot to cancel my script for my norcos, then the pharmacy would not stop calling until I came to pick them up, so I did, I want to flush them but I'm having a hard time, and I'm really started to miss the high, trying to maintain control and bring myself to get rid of them, 9 days is amazing, too far to go back!

We LOVE flushing parties here so Congrats on that and your clean time!!!!

Any plans for aftercare?

[leahlee18]

that is awesome you flushed them.  I know that must have been hard yet liberating!  I sent you a message last week, did you get it?  I was hoping to talk to someone who was getting off hydrocodone since that is what I'll be doing soon...

[leahlee18]

Hey there,
I am also going to try to taper down off hydrocodone.  I am hoping that will help with the withdrawals.  Keep us updated on how your doing!

I went cold turkey, I was going to taper but o figured I'd just get it done faster, it does suck and it gets worse before getting better, but when it does get better it feels great

thanks for letting me know about your withdrawals...gosh I'm praying mine art bad......did you go cold turkey or slow tapering....which is what I'm trying my best to do...

[girlinterrupted00]

Thanks y'all!! And I have been to 2 NA meetings, I have a good time there weird enough, non judgemental people! I will continue to go most definitely!  :)

But we all withdrawal differently, 12 hours after my last pill I was feeling weak, nauseated, and very very faint, that night I couldn't sleep at all, I tossed and turned all night. Day 2 the headaches and stomach cramps started, as well as no appetite, I was more depressed than I ever have been for days, I accused my boyfriend of cheating, didn't want to be accused around anybody at all, after about 36 hours I started getting my appetite back, and feeling a bit better, now that I'm on day 9 I feel SO much better, i sleep through the night, I still have bad anxiety but I've always had that, I'm eating more, no cramps, it does get better though :) you can do it!

Congrats! I know how difficult that must have been. I bet it was a relief as well. Make sure you tell the pharmacy no more.

Keep moving forward, you are doing great!  I wish you all the best. Keep posting for support.

I flushed them, thank y'all so much! It was really hard but I just cant go through those withdrawals again, it was so miserable, I'm amazed at my control! For once I felt in control of myself and it felt so good!! No relapsing for this lady!!! :))))

[Krissy_123]

OMG yes flush them!! I'm on end of day 8 of oxy habit. I'd totally take one if it was in front of me. And I would be be ruined,these have been the worst 8 days of my life. I'd never want to repeat them...I'm sure you don't either. Xox goodluck

Ditto what Rissa said.
Flush them now or you WILL take them.
If you don't flush them, and tell your doc AND your pharmacy you will literally be flushing your hard earned nine days down the toilet.
You deserve better.
So flush em and come back and talk to us.
You can do this.

Hi Girl,  flush them.  Flush them now.  Then, tell the pharmacy that you no longer take them. Your Doctor knows, right?  I promise you that if you don't flush them, they will be screaming your name.  Please, just flush them.  Right now..... I'll wait......

Seriously, you don't want to go through this again, do you? Each withdrawal get worse as this disease progresses. Trust me on that. I went through withdrawals many times.  

So, flush them, and come back here and let us know that you did that. OK?
