1 lortab a day from 20 a day 7.5 norco

[willPower4me]

So here I go. I use to take up to 20 7.5 Norcos a day. Also would take 10's yello up to 15 a day. Everyday for almost 2 years. I recently did my first detox(not pretty). Took about a good 2 weeks for all symptoms, except depression, fatigue, craving. So I went 23 days and decided to take 1 yellow. Helped with depression and mood, and pain. So I have not exceeded 1 per day, it's been 6 days. I have some left. Not enough for a binge or high. I don't want to fully withdraw again. I'm taking all vitamins, etc. Finishing the obvious, 5 more, will I have withdrawals? Maybe minor. Keep in mind, 1 per day. All stashes are gone, scripts cancelled. Time to move on. You wonder why I take the 1 a day- depression and waiting for AD medicine to kick in. Will I have Minor Withdrwals??????? I've had the will power to not pop them all........ That says something about my conviction to quit.

You are doing great and I wish you luck! Awhile back, I myself had an issue with pills. I don't even remember how it started, but I was taking Vicodin 750, just a couple a day turned into 8-12 a day. One day I sat and though about all the money I was spending (got scripts alot, just never lasted long!), the lies, worrying about running out, etc. I knew I had to stop, just wasn't sure how. The first time I tried to stop, I lasted 3 days, could'nt take the felling anymore so I started again. This time, I was only taking the 500's 5-6 a day, it started getting harder to get them, got myself down to 2 a day, then stopped. It was SO MUCH easier! The only feeling I really had, other than thinking about them ALOT, was just feeling a little bit on edge.......MUCH EASIER TO DEAL WITH, I PROMISE!!!
Good luck to you!

Thanks bubu.
I'm following "the plan". True, when it wears off, I get grumpy but happy. Happy a little per say, because I know the feeling is gone. Not that I feel much from 1. But the mental anguish I guess you could say. I can't wait to feel freedom and victory. 5 pills left. Tomorrow is a test. I know the depression is coming. Also has anyone had a problem with zoloft and it making you more tired??????
Also to devonlee, I'll let you know how it will play out by Monday.
Thank you all kindly. So 22 days down drain, starting day 1 hopefully tomorrow. God bless.

HI the only problem with your plan is your still feeding your brain artificial endorphins and it cannot begin to heal till you stop 1 is enough to disrupt the process sp you will go threw all the depression and emotional roller coster when you finely stop it is very alluring to take jusr 1 a day to feel better but it is the flod of endorphins from that one pill thats making you feel better once its gone your back to square one this is a common mistake you will get threw it but uyou wil be starting from square one again good luck and God bless......Gnarly

It is impressisve the insight you have.  I do not doubt that you have a lot of knowledge about w/ds and yourself.  Keep your head up and no the w/ds shouldn't be as bad.  I would test the waters by not taking any tomorrow, it may not be miraculous but you will know if you need to cut down to half at the end or if you are ready to stop completely.  If you do this you will be able to see the future of when you come off completely and give your mind that much of an advantage for when it happens.  Don't tell yourself you have more.  Tell yourself they are all gone.  If you feel good. that night flush the rest of them.....Good Luck and don't be afraid you are already beating this thing at least flush the last one.  It will feel more like freedom and victory than anything you have likely experienced.

Yeah you might have some minor ones. If you have the will power to not pop them at all then throw them away! Why prolong things? You have been doing so well and now well you are not. Anyway I know how this is going to play out you will finish the pills. Hopefully ur wds will be minor and just keep fighting the good fight as they say. I hope your AD meds start kicking in and work well for u!
