Hydrocodone withdrawal

[Scared179]

Hi, I have been here many times before trying to kick this niightmare. I have been taking 6 10/325mg hydro's a day and am trying again to kick it. I had taken my last pill at 1pm on Friday and here I am 1pm on Sunday. I feel lousy! I just want to know that I caved in yesterday and found 1 pill and took it and now Im scared that the withdrawals will start from that pill on not when i stopped on Friday. Can someone give an honest answer on this. I dont have anymore and want this to be it but it playing games on my mind thinking I just now delayed it another day by cheating. Please tell me this is not the case and keep my spirits up. I CAN DO THIS! THanks

Hi..hard to beleive tomorrow will be one week since I have taken a pill.  I have also been waking up with headaches.  I take a coule Aleeve and it seems to help.  Had a hour long massage today and it felt pretty good.  Gonna do another one in 10 days or so.  Still not sleeping good either.  Back to work for me tomorrow.  I am ready for it.  I need some exercise.  Still getting the cold, clammy thing going on today, but not as often. Keep going!!!   Stay on guard and stay focused!!

6 days, yeah!!! I feel better today just still not sleeping well and the restless leg thing. Ugh. How are u? I been waking up with headaches which I think is from grinding my teeth or from my sinuses. Excedrin seems to help but makes my stomach upset even with food sometimes. I am glad to be off of the stuff and hopefully for good, just trying to stay positive. My energy is still down and its hard to find motivation at times. I do not like tea so that wouldnt really help but it seems to be getting better. Besides doesnt tea have caffeine in it to keep you awake? I dont know. Well gonna go and have lunch because I can again!!!! yeah. Keep up the good work.

HI how you guys feel today.....we always like to see the buddy system on here it usually helps to have someone right where you are....you all are making good progress the aleep thing is ruff for every body I found the sleeptime tea you can get at walmart to work about the best
try the double teabags dont separate them sip on a cup about 1/2 hr b/4 bed  melatonin works also but the room has to be complexity dark for it to work....in time sleep will come back it might mean crashing when you get home from work take sleep anyway you can get it ...just know your winning at this good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

I have been tapering and down to 2 a day with the last one or 1/2 around 6pm.  I was having some withdrawals during the first couple nights and could not sleep and during the day, sweating and sneezing etc... but am not really having too many issues now.  I slept really well last night.  I will be out of meds tomorrow but a new rx will be available by Monday.  I am going to continue to taper down with that rx until I am only taking 1 then missing a couple days etc...  I think I am at a place where I can do this now.  I am seeing signs of coming back to life already after just tapering from 5-6 to 2-3.  I am hoping the fact I never really used them to the degree some have in 10 plus a day and then cold turkey will help me.  I have really noticed in recent months, how very lethargic I have become.  No energy at all and really irritable.  I think my system was used to the norco and I was not getting the high anymore, just the lows.  This freaking drug has taken too much of my life over the last 2 years and I need to be off it.  I hope this time I can do it for good.
