ADVICE AGAIN???

i have posted one question already today and i don't want to seem like a baby BUT, is there anyone out there who is doing what i am doing????   i am taking anywhere between 10-12 loritab 10's daily!!  i weight approximately 125 lbs and i am 5 ft 4 in tall, so i guess i am relatively small in stature.  if i don't have enough 10's i will take the 7.5's but i take anywhere from 15-25 of those b/c they are weaker.    i don't know anything about all the other pills mentioned on this site, but so far i haven't seen anyone taking this many.  so maybe if someone could explain to me the relation to loritab and methadone or any of the other pills it would be greatly appreciated.  i am trying to understand what is happening to my mind and my body and trust me i need all the help i can get!!!!

I was looking in google to see if anyone took as many as me!!! And I found your little blog.  Dude I pop hydrocodone 10's "watson540" like candy.
I wake up, and take 7 in the morning and go to school.
I take 4 after lunch.
Then I take 3 before I go to bed.
Painkillersareamazing.
And I am an addict.

i don't know anything in regards to the acetaminophen content or even how i would find out.  i don't usually get my meds from a doctor unlike the majority of the experiences on this site i do not have any type of chronic pain and have not been prescribed pain killers from a doctor.  i started taking them b/c i like the way they make me feel when i am drinking - i guess it started out as a "party drug" for me.  pretty bad huh??  anyway, the last ones i had (just the day before yesterday) were a peach color, oblong, watson 502 -but i have taken them all pink, blue, white and white with green speckles.  on the weekends i tend to take way more than what i take to function during the week.  i also tend to take more if i take X or partake in anything else.  yes, i do realize that my lifestyle is way over the edge - i have always been like this and it is insane!!!  the only thing i have NEVER done and couldn't even bring myself to do is shoot anything up or smoke anything - i don't even get high on the few times i have smoked weed.  

i really appreciate everyone who has responded to me.  i know that i seem to be going on and on and on, but i have NEVER talked openly about this to anyone and honestly it feels kinda nice to just talk and get it out in the open.  so, i would like to apologize first for just babbling!

Well,first of all you must really want to get off of them.Im sure you do or you wouldnt be here.I took 3-4 hydrocodone's for about 3 years and just quit this week.So far,im doing great.I have no desire to take them anymore.

A few days ago,my doctor gave me .25 mg of xanax and wellbutrin.I take 1 wellbutrin a day and for the first week,one xanax before bedtime.

Now,the 2 biggest things i was worried about quitting was being very tired during the day and cant sleep at night.

The xanax is working perfectly to help me sleep.Also i was told the wellbutrin would take a couple of weeks to take effect,but after three days i can tell they are working already.My energy lvl has not decreased hardly at all.These things actually seem to regulate that very good.I cant wait to see how they do in a few weeks.

Im not sure the same will work for you,since you take alot more than i did,but its one way to think about it.There are also alot of other suggestions in these forums to help you to.

Best of luck!If i quit,then anyone can.

well...if you need another reason to quit -- if you are taking vicodin ES in high amounts, it can eventually kill you.  lortab has lower APAP amounts -- but it wreaks havoc on your body.  the wd's are nothing compared to someone in liver failure.  look it up, it may scare you straight.  you may want to consider a support group.  the bb is great and can be helpful -- but you may get much more from talking this out as you are going through it.  if not, find an addiction specialist -- they can rx pamper meds to help.  you are on the right track, if you want off, you can do it.  it will not be a quick fix, and will require lifestyle changes to stay in any type of recovery.  good luck, i wish you the best, there are lots on here that will help as much as they can.

If you go to www.rxlist.com you can find out what you're taking by entering the pills imprint code.

For example, it says for a Watson 502:
===========================
Imprint Code: WATSON 502    
Drug/Strength/Manufacturer: Acetaminophen 650mg / Hydrocodone Bitartrate 7.5mg - Watson / Rugby / Major
============================

10-15 lortabs daily.  been there, done that.  you are not alone.  i prefer to taper down a bit and then jump off when i get to about 3 a day.  it is no fun, and hopefully, this will be the last time (i have said that before).  my body is tired of being sick and tired -- i am sure you know the feeling.  wd symptoms vary from person to person...and there can be alot of them.  take a step back, stay in the moment and get though it the best you can.  the first week is very hard...but it does get easier, you need to believe in yourself and that what you are doing is good for you and all around you.  stay hydrated, stay focused, stay positive...pray to whatever higher power you choose -- just do NOT take another pill and you are heading in the right direction.  there is no magic "pill" sorry for the pun, to make wds go away, but you have the opportunity for another chance drug free.  seems like a small price to pay.  you are doing great, keep us all posted on your progress.

I was addicted to hydrocodone and was up to 35-40 10's a day.  Many people on this site are or have been addicted to opiates.  I don't know that it really matters which form the fruit of the poppy takes, it ruins your life in the end and it's difficult to stop.

How long have you been using at these levels?  What is the acetaminophen content of your tabs?
