Need help please...hydro

[Terri65]

Hello..I have been browsing the forum and doing alot of reading here.  I think I can get some much needed advice and help here.  I have read so many posts that sound just like me.  I have made the decision to stop taking my hydro that I have been on for many years due to a spinal injury.  I just don't want to do this anymore.  I still have 25 pills but I do not want to go to a doctor for help and think I can do this on my own.  What should I do?  I am taking 10/500.  Should I taper?  Please help me!!!  I am a 42 year old mom of a wonderful daughter.

Still here..back from dropping my daughter off and getting a few errands done. I am doing ok...listening to the new Def Leppard - 9 Lives (with Tim MGraw as guest)..what a great song.  Seeing them next weekend and so hyped!! I have to keep thinking these thoughts.

Just got ready with a hot shower and getting ready to take my daughter to a friends to work on a school project...day 3 and only runs a bit, some chills, some tingling, lots of sneezing.    I think I am doing well.  When I have a crave, it just passes. I try to do something else.Music helps me alot.  Gets me in good spirits.  I am going hour by hour and even made a log of hours...I have a goal and I will MEET that goal!!!  You all are the ones motivating me right now.  I know I will be bored here today but I don't want to venture out in case I need a bathroom.

Ok..after the hot bath, laid back down and slept until 8:30...craving coffee.  I am a coffee nut.  I am sneezing like crazy though..is that normal?  Other than that, just feeling ok...

So far so good...I just got up at 4:30 am after sleeping since 9:30 pm last night..I woke up with chills though but that really is about it...maybe a hot bath and back to bed?

Hi Terri, How are you doing? Tommorrow is day 3 for you, right? Expect it to be a pretty ruff day. Day 4 too.  You did get rid of those pills, didn't you? Because now its gonna get really hard and if you still have those, chances are you will use them.  Trust me on this, flush them.  Keep posting and let us know how you are progressing. You can do this, be strong.
