HI everyone. This is my first time on this site. I am a 24 year old and have been taking hydro for almost a year now. Im up to 4-8 a day. I know I need to quit for my daughter. Im so scared how my withdraws will go. Im so grateful Im not alone in all of this. I just took my last 4 today and have made a promise to myself and God I will start to get clean tomo. I have prepared for this by cleaning and getting everything ready so I can be sic all day. ANy one know how long the withdraws will last. I feel awful because Im with my daughter all day and I hope i doesnt effect how nice I am to her. ANyone give me some advice please!!???

It will get worse over the next few days. depending on the person the 2nd-4th day is usually the worst. but remember it DOES and it WILL go away!  Hang in there and stay strong!!! Get outside. If u dont have the energy to exercise atleast sit out in the sun for a while. Not sure where u live but its nice and sunny in south tx! Anyway, just try not to stay too couped up in the house. It will make the deppression worse. Yes, you can expect that. im glad you told someone. Let her help you!!!! keep posting! you have a very positive attitude so stay that way. Good luck

Thank you all for posting. Today was my first day off of hydro. The wd we hard but im doing okay right now. I actuall old my sister last night since no one knows. It did help that she is calling and checking on me and taking y daughter for me. I am very strong willed. I actually have no desire for the pills at all today. My eye is straight on the prize. Im hopeful. Is the second day worse or easier??

If your going to jump, you need a better plan and more time than you are thinking. Get more info, get a Doc to Taper you something better than just your desire, no matter how strong your desire it is a process not always mostly not always easy to accomplish. If you do not have a plan a and a plan b then your possibly going to end up in a crisis you do not have at the moment. If your out a Doc can prescribe medications for you to Taper off what your on. Even give you some till an appointment. Docs who do this are cool to your problems, you have a kid and stuff to worry about. Be honests with the right DOC is one plan. You decide. Think it out well, do not underestimate or overestimate this, how long you have been on and use patterns have a lot to do with the time etc in the process. It is a Process. Take care  get well. Slow down a little do a plan a and plan b. Out patient then inpatient Remember relapse is part of the deal usually, aftercare a biggie in recovery.

Welcome! You will make it through the w/d...I Promise!!! Try and go for a walk or get some sort of excercise as often as you can. It will be hard but it wil help. If you only have 2 trams left I would save them for your worst days. But there are some that will disagree. Make sure to get vitamins and Drink ALOT of water! You need to flush out your kidneys. Lots of TP and immodium too!! It will really help you mentally if you tell a friend or a family member. They will be more supportive than you think. Its nice to have someone close to you to help. You can ALWAYS come here for comfort and support but as I said it will help to have someone physically with you. Post EVERYDAY so we can help!!!!! Good luck!

Also, wanted to welcome you....You are making the best choice of your life., since it has been a yr that you are using, it is best to do it now..don't wait until it has been many yrs...Your dosage per day is not extremely high, read all the health pages, and read as many post as you can...Everyone is so different when it comes to w/d's...Just remember that it takes some time, but you can do this...I quit c/t at 20 a day...It was not easy..I did the same as you...I cleaned , did all laundry, grocery shopped, made meals they could heat up, and payed all bills...You may become aggitated with alot of things including hubby , daugher, etc...Just take a deep breath and keep telling yourself that you are doing this for all the right reasons..
Have you ever tried to detox before?
best wishes

Welcome and great Choice. Need a lttle more info. How long were you on them?
I can tell you the w/d's last 5 to 7 days. Look for Thomas's recipe on the bottom left on the screen.

The w/d's are like having the flu but stronger, body ache's, can't sleep restless legs or arms at night. Going to the bathroom.. The best things are losts of hot baths or showers.
Your engery level will drop, sneezing and sometimes yawning. All this will pass and it so worth it.
