RE:FLaddict

thank you so much for replying. i was hoping you would. ive read alot of your notes through some forums and your so wonderful for helping other ppl in their time of need even though you've been off for quit some time. Before i found out that i was pregnant three months ago i was taking 5 to 6 vics or percs, whatever was available. when i found out, i started to ween myself off and stuck to vicodin b.c. i heard it wasnt as harmful on the baby. Some days i took 3 and other days 2 vics. it would vary. I couldnt ween myself past 2. I just got done reading one of your notes about an article you posted. it was in the forum of one lady's title "how can something so easy....be so HARD. after i read that i have a better idea. But i do need some support. Unfortunatly, the father of this baby turned out to be abusive and is in jail right now and i dont have any support so thats why i came here. of course he wouldnt have been any type of support considering he was worse than me. I would love your help to taper off these damn devil pills.  Thx  Isittoolate

Thanks so much.. Big Hugs back at ya.. I am in your corner rooting for ya.. I promise there is light at the end of the tunnel.. You will get there..

I used to have that happen too.. I couldn't go more than 4-6 hours while I was awake.. but I could go all night and sometimes a few hours in the morning.. I think it has to do with metabolism.. it slows down while we sleep so we don't process the meds as fast.. that is just my opinion but it sounds right..

one ? tho. for the past 3 mo that ive been taking a 1/2 pill, I usually take my last on at 6 or 7pm. b.c. i cant go to sleep if i take it any later. when i wake up i dont feel like i need it right away so i wait till i feel i need it....why is that? wouldnt it be outta my system while i sleep to where i need it right away when i wake up?  Not that its a bad thing but if i can go w/o while im sleeping whats the diff when i wake up?

will do, no problemo....i was so alone and scared for my baby before i came to this site. if i didnt type in "mom addicted to vics" in google and had'nt have met you i would probably still be taking them. now i have  a schedule and a goal. Even tho school is a challenge in itself, my #1 priority is my baby. Im going to do the half of a half b.c. the addiction is still there, i mean the euphoria. i kinda look at it this way "if other ppl can do it, why cant i."   Steph, youve given me so much hope i cant tell you how much of  a saint you are. If you were here i would give you a big hug. thank you sooooooooo much. OXOXOXOXOOO!!!  Teri
