Yes it gets better, and soon for you. you've done the worst of it and although tomorrow may be no picnic I guarantee you that the next day you really will start to feel better. Look for the Thomas recipe on this site. Take a hot bath. Use a blow dryer to help regulate your body heat. Don't give up, you are almost there. Your six month lortab habit will soon begin to be farther and farther behind you and you will feel so much better. Good luck.

So so true..day 3 was worst for me day 4 and 5 better..after that everyday is so much better! Thomas recipewas key for me..get lots of immudium. Niquill for sleep and body aches and rls..lots a vitemn b6 and b12 for mental health and energy.If u can work out even for 20 min..world a diff! Hot baths..and stay strong..this to shall pass

YES it will get better!! Please hang in there!! Youve only been on them 6 months...i beg of you to please tough it out and get off them now!! I wish i could turn back the hands of time and have been able to quit when my kids were that young still. My usage skyrocketed right after my youngest was born too. I thought hey 'these are great, these 'mother's little helpers" and thought i could get more done with the kids, the house , etc. HAH! Too many years of their lives went by in a blur and i missed so much with them. Even though i was physically THERE with them, I was mentally absent a lot. too preoccupied with chasing that high, counting pills, going through periods of WD, looking for more pills etc etc etc. Before I knew it my little boys were getting SO BIG and I missed SO MUCH in their lives!!!!!! THe guilt i feel for this is horrendous.  Please, dont make the same mistake I did, get off those life sucking, life ruining demon pills and enjoy your little baby before its too late! YOu can do this. The first 3-5 days suckk but then you will feel so much better! get some immodium for the trots and advil for the pain and ride it out. Please keep us updated, we are here for you!
