Need support please

So I was taking 8 to 10 Lortab 7.5s a day. Its been going on with Lortab and Percoset for about 3 years. Its progressively got worse. I did have legit pain but I don't anymore. Its all mental and in my head. I had 16 Lortab 5s Tuesday and took my last two yesterday at 2. I slept ok last night but have gone through withdrawals before and it doesn't hit me until the second night of not having them. Its so hard. I don't know why I am not strong enough to get off this crap. I have no way of getting anymore plus I want to be off them. I have a wonderful finance and daughter.  This morning my legs are really bothering me and I have bad stomach cramps and dirrea. I just need some support. What day do you start feeling better? I know I can do this but its so hard.

Welcome and congrats for quitting!!

And there are a ton of things you can do/take to help with the early withdrawal.  Definitely worth checking out the thomas recipe on this page and the amino acid protocol.  Believe me, the stuff recommended there really works.

I just wanted to reply so we can bump your post back to the top - you will get a ton of support here so stick around!!  And again, welcome (life does get better without the pills you'll see)

Hi there and welcome. Day 5-7 you start feeling better depending. You ARE strong enough to kick this. None of us can do it alone...that's why we're here. Try finding an NA group to attend,they are wonderful. I now not everyone believes in the 12 step programs but you need support right now. When you feel like using,get on here and post,or read post,health pages,whatever. You can do this;stay strong. You have identified that it's "in your head" so you now you have no physical need for these pills. However your body needs them thus you experience withdrawls. Get some immodium also.Melatonin should help for sleeping (your body produces it naturally but becauwe of using the production levels are out of whack.You can get it at any oharmacy/wal mart/etc.) Stay strong;keep your guard up and keep us posted.~A
