Weird question about excercise and Once a day "High"

Not trying to fool myself or act like im anymore special than the next person hooked on Lortab ...but just wondering(opinions please) if i decided to go cold turkey, would the fact that i excercise on a regular basis and furthermore, the fact that most days  i'll take my lortabs "only" once a day ( 6 to 9) allllllll in the morning( in know how stupid and dangerous that/this is) BUT will go the rest of the day and night without, and during that 16 hour "down" time will experience mild withdrawall symptoms. I quess my main question is..is, will a person that takes all there daily dose at once, go through the same wd symptons as their friend that takes 1 to 2 every 4 hours throughout the 24 hour daily cycle? Thanks...Im so glad i found you guys ...no matter what your answers may be. :)

My concern is with you taking so many all at once.  That is very dangerous.  What are your plans for getting off these?  Let us help you okay??         sara

I was like you, I took mine by 10 every morning, but I smoked a heeavvvvy amount of weed all day as well. When I was taking hydrocodone, I would eat 25 norco's all at once. Talk about stupid, but it's the only way I could get high anymore. I went cold turkey and went to treatment, the only thing I used for WD's was clonidine, a blood pressure medicine that is used to help some of the accute withdrawal. I had very mild WD, in my opinion, because like you, I excersized daily and was in good physical health (in spite of my best efforts to destroy my body with drugs) and also I'm only 23. So while everyone is different, I think that our usage patterns helps withdrawal not be so bad, since our bodies are used to being without the constant re-up that goes with taking pills 4, 5, or 6 times a day.

That was just my experience, though. I wish everyone could have it as easy as I did. Good luck to you, tapering is very difficult. Have you tried cold turkey yet? Who knows, you might be able to stand it, it's uncomfortable, but doable. Let us know!

A person who takes 8 at a time will have more trouble than the person who takes 2pills 4 x a day..as a rule but we r all different
The massive endorphin release caused by an excessive dose is much more demanding on the brain than small doses thru the day..when a person tapers they should spread their doses out//small doses several times a day vs one or 2 big doses each day...the brain adjusts better this way and wds are not as painful
