Day 3 of Lortab withdrawals

I did not sleep at all last night.I was burning up but freezing all at the same time.My legs would not stop moving and hurting,my arms ached,every joint and muscle in my body hurts.At 3:21AM I grabbed the bottle with the 60 pills in it.I held two of the pills in my hand and seriously thought about taking them,just to make this torture go away.I walked into the bathroom and flushed the entire 60 down the toilet.It is 12:15 on day 3 and all I want to do is die.

That is great...to be able to do that in the throws of WDs....u r determined...I always get or got my house really cold and layered blankets and took them on and off as need be...i did not have the leg problem and i do think exercise during the day helps that...some say heat or ace wrap helps..massage too with deep heat rub if you can...keep posting

Wow, good for you for flushing the pills. If I had 60 pills I probably would have taken them.

You are almost over the physical withdrawals. By day 5 you should be feeling better, Not great but better than you have. I promise you it does get better.

Take hot baths and advil.
Stay strong!! You're going great!

You can do it.  I think day 3 was my worst also I thought I was going to die.  I took lorcet also.  But I made it through you can too.  Hot baths and heating pad is the only thing then that worked for me.  Then I got on neurontin, and it sure helps because I still have RLS not as bad but I have bad days.  GOOD LUCK and Hang in there.
