My story is typical of most everyone else I see on here. I was addicted to Stadol nasal spray and hydrocodone (usu. 2 10 mg per day) for about 8 years. My physician died about a month ago. I did not want to continue to use these drugs, and decided after running out, I would have to quit. Well, that was last Saturday with the Stadol and took last two Lortabs Weds. The diarrhea and dry heaves are the worst. I am so afraid of having to go into work on Monday and standing in front of a classroom and try to concentrate on teaching.
I did go to a G.P. and told him my story. He said to use Benadryl and Alleve and couldn't tell me if I would be able to go to work Monday. I understand that, but my anxiety over my work and being such a poor mother to my son right now is killing me. Any suggestions on getting through the workday? I absolutely cannot eat, have lost 7 pounds and tremble all the time. Please, help.
