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?

For me sleep was a big issue I would toss in turn and during the day. I would knock out for an hour I tried otc sleep aids and that was helpful even though it took awhile to kick in but I would sleep. A good. 4 to 5 hours but like I said don't focus on sleep focus on rest

I dont know how high your doses were, but for me I was taking up to 25 norco a day with some oxy thrown in there... It took me a good 30 days to actually feel somewhat human again. It does get sooooo much better. Just keep hanging in there. The last thing to come back for me was sleep. Im at 53 days today and feel great. Are you attending any aftercare programs like AA/NA? Its important to get some type of aftercare to help you in your recovery. Wishing you some peace and comfort. Remember one day at a time. Kim

I never wanted to be on it in the first place and the last time this happened it lasted for roughly 10 days. I'm sure the cold turkey thing makes it last a little longer because it was such an abrupt stoppage but I am coping very well I just hate the restless legs and the insomnia

Most pain killer withdrawel last 4 to 5 days. But we all have difft systems. I didn't take withdrawels to well. But 5 days was my max. Methadone on the other hand, seemed to last forever. Also remember this. If you've been using for a long period of time. Your mind is a powerful tool. wether it be for a positive thing, or negitive. Your mind can trick you into thinking your still sick. Just another way for it to trick you into getting a fix. I remember feeling real sick. But once I got the **** in my hand. I started feeling better before I took it. Also I keep seeing posts about the physical withdrawel. 4 to 5 days sick is a *****. But nothing like the mental part that can last, and last, and last. So if your going to go cold turkey. Thats great. but you have to plan for the mental part. Without that. Cold turkey just becomes a revolving door. You've got to make some changes in your life. Find out why you feel better about yourself while on the ****. Sooner or later your going to have to deal with it. The longer you keep away from the ****. The easier it gets. I've been clean for 24 years now. I have 0 desire now. I'm here because I know there are really no good places to go for help. What there is, is usually just places that are just in it for the money. So for now on. I'll be around to help the best I can.
