Day 6 of lortab detox and symptoms are returning

Should this be happening or is this a last ditch effort by my body to get me to use?

Have you tried taking something to help you sleep?  Melatonin or a sleep aid containing doxylamine succinate that you can get generic at any drug store.  It took awhile for me to sleep again too and you're right, not sleeping really starts getting to you after awhile.

By the way this is day 11 for me I just think if I could get some sleep I would probably be doing a lot better

Just about to head off to bed but wanted to pop in and comment first :) I've had the same mentality in the past..."Oh just one pill to stop the WD. It won't hurt." But it does hurt. If you take one, then you'll take two. If you take two...you get my drift. Stay strong, you're doing a great job!! (((Hugs)))

I sort of involuntarily went CT back in March when I was hospitalized for ODing on Tylenol (yeah, real smooth move on my part). At the end of day three, right before they released me, I begged them for something to help with the WD. I was thinking more along the lines of Suboxone or some kind of IV cocktail...no. Guess what they gave me? An Oxy! Wifey was pissed. Apparently that hospital is not qualified to do any type of detox program. I know now I should have just fought it and stayed off of the little buggers, but I was so very miserable...

Same thing happened again that night. Went through horrible WD all night and had Wifey give me one Vicodin just to calm my nerves so I could see my doctor without being a mess. That's when he put me on the MS Contin / Oxy combo and while I was doing good for a while, of course I slipped up again...makes me really wish I would have just kept going straight out of the hospital.

I do still have some anxiety but that could come from not sleeping to well but I'm not sure I just know that this will never happen again I can't believe how bad I have felt for the better part of the last 2 weeks

The mental part is the hardest try to keep a positive outlook keep telling yourself you can do it. Because you can look how far you've come. Don't look back keep going forward. Hows the headaches they should be subsiding by now. How are you mentally? Remember the worst is behind you you will diffently start feeling alot better physically by now. Where here for you.

Yeah I've been feeling better but still having some thoughts that I;ll be like this forever (mentally) but I know that to be untrue so it's pretty easy to get though it still having a little bit of a headache but stomach is feeling alot better
