Isn't Norco The Greatest? NOT!!!!

[AmyLynn88]

Ive been on Norco for 4 years... I started out with 3-4 a day and just a few weeks ago was  up to 10-13 a day... Iam only 23 years old and am just tired of living this way.. I realized I had a problem and submitted myself to a  out patient detox program, they gave me Suboxone because I tried going cold turkey and just couldnt handle the Withdrwal.... My question is Im on Day 5 of  no Norco but feel depressed and like I will never "feel" like myself again... Anyone have any advicez? Does this get easier?

Just reading you guys postings and I am shamed that I just popped 2 pills.  What a loser I am.  

I should dump all the bottles, but I just bought it another one yesterday. so I have many hanging around me.  no need for pacing.  I will leave my bottles at home so that I won't take any while I am at work. I know I gotta quit.  I know I gotta live long.  

My plan was to lower the # to 2 a day. (before I was taking 5 a day) for a week or so then go down to 1. then eventually none.   Have anyone tried it that way?  Would it work?  or it has to be CT?

Congrats to you on day Five, I agree with you on this not being easy, but at least we can relate to eachother and give one another strength..  I also can tell ya I feel some what Noraml, but what the Hell is normal? my body doesnt hurt as bad but my mind is fighting the urge to call for another refill... Hang in there we can do this... what were you taking?

So u understand what I am going through a lil? I mean I couldnt even tell you what "normal" is anyyymore, I just keep thinkng damn all I need is a 1 Norco and I will feel better but its not a way to live... Ive been good for 5 days and I thank everyones advice..... I cant wait to enjoy life and get happiness out of every day things.. How long did u take Norco for and how long did it take u to feel better?

Today is day five of the Suboxene and I am feeling a little better than day 1 although I still feel depressed and down Iam praying that I can get better... I found so much happiness in Norco that I don't even know what Happiness is Anymore ya know?  are u taking suboxene?

[tooklastdose]

yes, it will get better.  i'm also on day 5 with no narcotics, cold turkey and today is the first day that I feel even kind of normal.
(i forgot what my normal feeling was??)
hang in there

Yup... It definitely will get easier.  4 years is definitely long enough to get your body good and hooked.  Day 5 is great!  The feelings of depression and anxiety are very common when withdrawing.  Soon you will be a changed person and when I say changed, I mean it.  You will find happiness and joy in things that you haven't seen in the last 4 years.  You will feel full of life and will start to enjoy the things that you have been robbed of over the last 4 years.  Trust me... It will happen.  

You are in the middle of a battle and it is you against them (Norco).  The question is who will win?  Be strong and be committed because only good things wait for you on the other side.  Yeah... right now you feel like **** but that depression will subside and you will discover a new you.  Keep the faith and fight strong...  Hang in there and you will see.  I wish you the best.  I dealt with the evil Norco pills for awhile.  They are nasty little buggers and not easy to come off of.  Congrats on day 5.  You're well on your way!  :)
