Vicodin addict

[dodo13662]

Hello Im on here because I need someone to Listen. Back In Feb. I started to use vicodin and I had no pain just because of everyone else was doing it and it gave a great high I started off on 2 of the 550's. Now we are here on Nov. and I was able to take 7 of 750's at a time and Im only 105 pounds then I was able to take them all day long I was actually up to 30-40 pills a day. I recentley started to cut myself down on Sat the 7th. I had went to 10 pills, then on sun 7 pills and mon and tues 5 pills. My body feels so worned down, I keep getting these hot cold flashes and that is the only reason why i cant stop completely. Its so bad that at night I wear a tank top and sweats and have my window open with the fan in it and I live in Ny and its cold here with 4 big blankets on me in order to sleep comfortable. Is anyone else going through what Im going through. I would like to talk to people over the phone too is that possible i need all the support I can get right now.

I'm day 13 off 20 vics a day, symptoms are better, but I continue to have the night sweats pretty bad.  No I think I'm getting a cold.

Hang in there, you symptoms are normal.

Welcome to the forum.......You are going to feel worn down and have hot/cold flashes until the meds get out of your system.  This wont last forever, i promise.  WD is no fun but it is something we have to go thru.  Drink plenty of fluids like gatorade or vitamin water during this time.  Check out the amino acids in the health pages on the right hand side of this page.  You are tapering fast but you will get thru this.  Get up and move around as much as you can.  Exercise of any kind is very helpful.  We are here to help and will support you..........sara

I just want to say thank you to everyone who commented, never thought I would get emotional in reading the responses but its almost as if a relief was lifted knowing there is others who are going through what I am going through. I hate these hot cold sweets it as if my body temp rises really high then drops and when it does I go through major cold chills, I hate that feeling. Tomorrow is the day for me to go down to 4. I just recently Called everyone who was supplying them to me and told them to never call me again, I believe its a trigger for me so If I dont have any contact with them then there wont be any temptation. I even stopped hanging with people who also do them. I have to make things right for me and my kids. I dont really even know why I ended up doing vicodin, when i moved back to my home state last year I was against all drugs and had never touched them until this Feb. I hate the person who I have become and I want the old me back. Im so happy there is some kind of support system. But thank you all again for writing
