WithDrawal from 20-25 mg tabs a day

[tab25]

Ok, I have been taking hydrocodon 10's or 7.5's for almost every nite now for the past year. I only take them at night, i just could never make myself take them during the day or anything. I feel fine without them all day but when 7 or 8 o clock rolls around I pop one. Then take another one 2 hours later or so...im going ct now. On day 1 and not feeling to bad. I have tried this before and just kept going back. This time its different bc my gf has to know I can kick this horrible habit. Honestly I started taking them becase the sex was amazing lmao. Anyways I just need some support and want to know how long I can expect the aniexty to last? And if i can every feel like i did before these thing took my "night over". They just made watching tv, videogames, sex, etc that much better.
THanks for listening,

I believe that is the point where we are at, we have tried it together a couple times. The first time in Jan we actually went 27 days! And fig one more wouldnt hurt, I/we couldnt have been more wrong. Sadly I just dont remember how i felt for those days. I keep telling myself life was good after the first 5 or 6 days but I just dont know. I just need to stay strong and get thru this. Not looking forward to no sleep and the anxiety. I do remember that being the worst for me.

I didn't know your gf was taking them too. Of course life gets better, it was better before, right? I feel like I am being a downer but I gotta tell you that it is hard for two people to detox together. It is even harder for two people to stay clean together. Usually what happens is one will start the pills again and the other will join in and so on.

You are actually right, I had been telling my self for so long now that its not a problem I just take them at night. Boy was I wrong. Forgot to mention this started because of a shoulder injury I had last summer and the doc presb me 7.5 hydros for about 3 months. After that quit I got them from a "friend" who somehow always gets a hold of them.

Understand that by coming here, to us, you are no longer alone and you won't have to go through this by yourself. We are here to listen, answer questions if we can and just to be supportive. You are NOT alone in this!

For the first 2 years it was good, then these things took a hold of both of us, she is going ct as well. I see that it is a problem and and trying to prepare myself for the next week or so. But thanks for the quick reply IBKleen. I just need to know if life really does get better after stopping taking this F******?

I was just like you Tab, taking them at night and truly feeling that I could not be addicted. I was taking them mostly for my migraines but I also loved the "high" floaty feeling I got from them and often took them just because I wanted that feeling. I am now 22 days sober and I have to admit, it is still hard not to crave the drug but I know I don't want to go down that road again.

The anxiety and twitchy feelings may hit you tomorrow. As many people here will tell you, Vitamin B helps a lot with that. As will hot baths and a lot of water or gatoraide to help with the feeling of dehydration. Sleep as much as you can, but also try to keep active. Go for a walk, try to do a puzzle..anything to keep your mind off what you will most likely go through. For me, the withdrawal symptoms went on for about a week but I know other folks here had no withdrawals or shorter durations than that. I wish you the best of luck and I know y ou can get through this

One last thing, prolly the biggest problem im having with this. My gf wants me to detox by myself and i have a hard time understanding that because she is the only person who knows about this...

[IBKleen]

Too bad you could not find it within you to have good sex, enjoy tv and video games and all of that without the use of drugs. I say that because the few you are popping at night will turn  into one in the morning,a couple in the afternoon and so on.

At some point you will have to stop. since you are not taking that many right now it seems like a good time to do that.

I hope it works out for you. If the anxiety continues you should see your doctor and get honest so he/she can properly treat you. there are things they can do to help you.
