Methadone Clinic / Loratab and Oxycontin Addiction Questions

I was just discharged from my hospital about 2 days ago. I have this crawling in my skin and curling my spine feeling and it hasn't gone away and its getting worse... The hospital I was at did not give me any detox or start me on any methadone. So I have been sober from pain killers for the past 6 days. Until today. I took a 10MG Hydrocodone. (I was use to taking 4 of those daily for the past year or two along with Oxycontin and Roxicodone) It eased the crawling skin for now. But will it prolong the withdraw symptoms?  I don't know what to do. I think I have this under control as long as I don't use Oxycontin or Roxicodone. And be very cautious with the Loratabs or Hydrocodones. Whatever you want to call them.

I have already set up an appointment to go to the Methadone Clinic tomorrow. I just don't know if I should just do that legally or taper myself off with like 5-10MG Hydrocodones myself.

I'm just so lost on what to do. Hopefully there will be some answers for me when I wake up because my appointment is in 8 hours. =P  I'm just really nervous and scared.

what was ur dose?  u r 6 days in...do u really want to go back on a narcotic now....u r so close to being done..methadone can be very hard to kick...what have u done so far to try and make quitting easier?  have u attended any meetings?  r u still in full blown wd after 6 days?  taking a hydro at this point is not conducive to what u r trying to do..the fact that 1 hydro made u feel better makes it seem as tho ur habit was not huge...what is ur past history and dose daily?  6 days in is too far to go back especially to a stronger narcotic..think hard/...perhaps u r nervous cos this isnt the right thing for u to do right now?

dont substitute one for another-find someone who cn talk you out of it,stay in touch with asomeone,anyone-take  a hot bath-try to rest and keep you mind busy if you cant sleep-get out of the bed- do whatever it takes-minute by minute is all that you can do-you cant do it all at once-it is good to be nervous and scared because you are feeling this and right now you know the right road you should be on

You are past the worst.  Do not go on methadone.  It is worse than any.  Just tough it out you arer almost there.

I was taking 20MG Loratab in the morning and mid day I would take about 20-30MG Loratb. Everyday. For the past year and 1/2.

And at least twice a week I would do Oxycontin or Roxicodone up top of the loratabs and I would do this daily for about 2 weeks then give it a few days break... I would do anywhere from 45MG-120MG of  those.

I have been to NA meetings. And I have spoken in every one. It just makes me feel like when I leave I need to go get something... It just makes my skin crawl even more...

The Methadone would be administered in dosage everyday. I would have to drive to a clinic to get 1 pill every day until everything is tapered properly.

I'm just really lost on what to do. I keep getting pulled every which direction.

Also I am taking the following medications: Lexapro (daily), Ambien (dialy, and only getting about 3 hrs of sleep), Vistaril (as needed) and Klonopin (as needed).

I'm just really worried... I really don't know where to turn. My therapist is the one who suggested it... So I don't know. Maybe I'll feel better when I wake up and realize that I don't need it.

Just post any more information on what I should do. PLEASE.

Thank you everyone.
