Very confused!

Question

Ok so I took my last dose of 4 7.5's yesterday @ 7am. I am 38 hours into not taking any Norco and all I feel is slow and tired. I am not complaining! Just confused as I have done the withdrawal process probably 10 times and usually start going into pretty awful withdrawals no longer then 12 hrs afster my last dose. Soooo I have no idea why I am not hot/cold....sweating like crazy.....no goosebumps.....why??? Is is still comimg?

I wish you luck in your recovery, try not to think too much, sometimes we can trick our brain into thinking we are ok.. I know what you mean though, sometimes if we know whats coming, its all we can focus on.
Best of luck, your doing great.

RIGHT ON Yesidid!!! If someone does not like the reply then move on!!!
In my opinion it is up to the poster to say something..This just makes it look like we can fight on here and that is NOT what we are here for..lol

Wow. Let's take it easy on Kyle please. Yes we are here to support one another and maybe his words weren't chosen wisely but the truth as we all know is that there is a Big difference between newcomers who seek out help because they are out of options vs. Those who are willing to cut out options for the sake of sobriety.  I think that he was only intending to help NotHappy figue that out. It's rude of all of us to use her post to banter about silly stuff like this.  All my best NotHappy! Happiness is on it's way my friend!

Kyle, most of the questions asked here are about withdrawals: how bad will they be, how long will they last, etc.  Your comment was very rude, judgmental, and not helpful at all.  You shouldn't answer if you don't actually have an answer.

Hi..I had to smile regarding your name on here. If you stick around and get some clean time in and we follow your progress with you, we will have to re-name you to Veryhappy..Ha!!
I know it is hard and we get scared of wds and for some people, this is why we keep using or run back to using..I did this for Years! 
Just keep Drinking Lots of fluids to help rid the poisons out. Start adding some Electrolyte powder to your water..Even get some Protein powder and mix with some Berries. Diet is very important and so is taking a good source of vit/min. It is best to try to get out side in the Sun and walk, swim, ride a Bike any thing that you do so you can keep your mind re-directed from thinking about how you feel..I know it is not easy when we feel like crude. My detox went on for a while due to those 3 meds I came off of, but I would hit them meetings from sun up to sun down. 
Doing this might just help you to not have a really Bad one this Time around..I DO PRAY that you can just float right through it and bounce back quick..Oh, wouldn't that be a Blessing!
Just remember that we can not walk this Journey alone! Make sure you get all the Support you can get, because the detox is over real soon, it is working on staying clean that takes the cake.
Wishing you a wonderful new clean Life..Try it..you will like it!
Bless

IMO it is pretty much impossible for an addict not to worry when the awefulness of detoxing will come. I do not agree with Kyle505 at all. How can you (Kyle) know Nothappy's intention. I think it would be better to support than to judge. Good luck Nothappy's. WD's stink no matter what stage of addiction you are in. If your not quiting well at least your on a site that can help you when you do quit. I'm not saying you are not serious because if you were not serious I don't think u would waste you high time on this sure. Good luck and make sure you stay hydrated. Peace

kyle505 · Answer

Why are you quitting now? Or - are you really trying or just out? You need to focus your concern on recovery and not when detox will kick in. This forum is for folks who are trying to get and stay clean. It doesn't sound like that's what you're after.

when u really want 2 quit  and your not freaking out about how am i guna get my next fix you would be surprised how much easier it is.....if your doing ok in youir mind your body ususally is  doing a lot better as well........when your mind starts spinning outta control your body will follow suite!!  least this is my experience.....and  running out and WANTING 2 quit are 2 way different things.... so im not sure if your wanting 2 quit or u just ran out but from the sounds of it u might just want 2 quit....keep posting im not saying this is guna be easy by n e means but when u really want 2 quit it sure is much easier !!!

I did just try to taper but failed miserably!! BUT I was able to wean down to 4 7.5's a day for about 4 or 5 days before I went crazy again and started taking 10-13 a day again. But this was only for again 4-5 days....so I guess I tapered and then relapsed and am now going cold turkey but am not expirencing the usual w/d's....maybe my short taper helped?GOD I hope they are not coming!! I really thought I was going to die last time...I still did not feel well after 10 days and so I relapsed. It is a never ending horrible cycle. I will keep praying I don't get the horrible w/d's I am used to....UGH!
