Hydrocodone Witdrawel Day 3

[charizzio]

Hello to all. I just wanted to post and say that I am on day 3 of hydrocodone withdrawal(some oxycodone all for lower back pain). During my 2 plus year addiction I have done this withdrawel hell to many times. This going to be the last. I am having really rough nights and mornings because I can't get to sleep and I am self medicating to get to sleep. My goal is to get away from putting all of this stuff, supplements, other perscription drugs like flexeril which is all I have to knock me out. Supplements can only do so much for me, I am out of xanax, but I want to stick it out I don't want any more perscriptions of my own. I have been depressed, tried St. Johns wort which works very very mildly for me right now (I started it before I went cold Turkey for about a month.)

Anyhow my head is still very cloudy, depression is there and I know it will get better but it is just great to see you all hear for support. This is the first time I have done this as I am trying to be more pro-active this time around instead of re-lapsing after a month or two.  I appreciate your kind words.

If you are truly addicts then your plan of just taking the pills when you need them if not going to work.  You wouldn't be where you are (on this website looking for help) if you could only take them when you truly needed them.  You will find that your mind plays tricks with you and "creates" pain in order to justify the usage.

I was on them for a year. That is what I told myself....

I had Major Lower back pain at times...It is just so easy to relapse if you are prone to addiction or taking them regularly and the dependency is like a broken record. This is my 3rd or 4th time and I need to take every precaution that there is. Once I did it with a large stash at hand....

I am sure you need them for your back when the pain is out of control. So would I. I think maybe I will start a pain scale and follow it religiously. Like only take a  pill if the pain is a 7 or higher. Something like that. I don't know but holy cow I really can't afford to go through this any more. My business has suffered. My relationships have. My whole livelihood. Somtimes the pain is just worth going through the way I am thinking of it at this moment without the heavy meds. I used to think , oh yeah just take one for whatever. I really do need some counseling. As you can see my whole deal is to be pro-active. I just hope to help save any possibility that you could relapse........

I still have 3 refills on my script, but of course I took more than I was spose to and can only fill it once a month. I am never goingto have to go through this again. I do have an ongoing back problem, I may get the refills filled just to have them around on bad days. I just hope tommarrow is better!! Thanks

Well I am certainly not an expert, but for the body aches, definitely a jaccuzzi or hot bath. You can do this as much as you wan't and it really helps. I can't sleep either. It is driving me up the wall. Nothing will work. I have had xanax in the past, I know that works for me but I have a rough groggy AM. Valluum should do the same but I would only use them a few times to get good sleep.

I am having a rough day 4 as well. I know for sure good days are right around the corner.

Are you going to the doctor for more Vicaden?

you seen the Thomas Recipe? You can search for it on here. Lemme know if you can't find it and I will copy / paste it for you.

You are almost through the worst part.  Hang in there I have been 15 days cold turkey!!  I am finally feeling normal again.  Able to sleep at night on my own and the Restless Leg Syndrome is also going away.

Pain meds actually change your whole body's way of functioning.  You have to re-train it to function on its own again.  Try to stay busy this always helps me.

Good Luck
