Lortab Withdrawals ! My Addiction.

[DEJ74]

Hello , I just wanted to post about the famous drug Lortab or as i like to call little Demon, I was hooked on Lortab. A friend well so called friend gave me one because i said i did not like taking pills cause they make feel like **** next day, he said not this one so i took it and here we are on a forum. I had a back problem so was easy to get the new found meds just went to doc and said back hurts and he would give me a script well after so long he finally just one day said no more i think or i know because i would always call in ahead of time to get more i was up to 6 of the white 10's a day. Always wanted them made me feel good but after awhile i noticed could not go any where without them, after about 4 hours would start to get that withdrawal feeling so would take more to not feel that way so he cut me off. As i am driving home i start to freak out of pills and cant get any so i stopped cold turkey 7 days of pure hell , took about a month to get my stomach back right. I had no other pills to withdrawal on so i just stayed in hot bath for aches, drink lots of water to flush system and walking for the aches. I would stay away from Tylonel also made me want lortab more guess cause its the active in lortab. Some say drink alcohol i tried it nothing worse than hangover on top of withdrawals. Just keep saying you will make it!!! I did !!Thanks , DEJ - Lortab is the little Demon!

I think you will find that most of us share a similar kind of story as you.   I've been away from my vicodin for three weeks now... Yep.. I'm a bit more clearheaded than I was.  Certainly feelng better that I was going through W/D.   I wish I could share the happly little exuberence that some people feel after two weeks... but on top of the pain that w/d cause, and the real pain that landed me the Rx's, and the lack of general enthusiasm ... I feel blah.   I went back to work this week, and am doing OK... don't get me wrong.  I'm in pretend mode...no one around me knew I was popping pills all day, I only had one person to share my w/d with and she is in pill mode herself .... with the exception of this forum and then My Dr.there was no one around.... I faked having the flu.

One pill would be too much for me right now, and 100 wouldn't be enough.   Although, I can honestly say mentally I'm not craving pills.   I HATE THOSE PILLS.

From what I've learned Lortab is just like Vics only less tylenol.  

Wanted to say thanks for your post... after reading it I didn't feel as though I had to be "just wonderful" quite yet.  Everyday is better and thankfully I'm sleeping... the all so needed sleep that eludes us when we are withdrawing.  That's the worst.   The anxiety levels are down... that's what made me stop anyway.... my axiety levels were going through the roof, and I did some reading to find out it was from using Vicodin.

Thanks for your post... it said Mountains to me.
