hi
i am new here & just wanted to thank everyone for sharing. i have been using tabs for a couple of yrs now & i wish the dr. had told me how addictive these were before giving me some. i have bad arthritis in my hands so it's very hard to write & type. that is how i started on lortabs. i am going through my 3rd full day of withdrawing & it ***** big time.

OMG.....day 3 is a killer, but if you can get to tomorrow things will look up.  I know you can do it.  Take hot baths or showers today and use imodium if you need it!  Definitely talk to your doctor about some non addictive treatment for your arthritis.  I know it's painful, but so is active addiction, right?

Good luck!  Hang in there!

At the upper right part of your screen, there's a link for the Health pages. Just follow that and you'll find it along with the amino acid regiment. I'm in day 12 and it helped a bunch for me.

Good luck and congrats on 3 days! :)

Hey there - Day 3? Yeah, can feel like you're stuck in the badlands. :( As stated above, the Thomas Recipe and amino acid regiment does help. You're getting there, hang in and stay strong.

i don't know what to do but thank you for answering. i am going to talk to my dr, about alternative medicine. Thanks again

Hang in there. Day 3 is usually brutal, but it will get better in a day or 2. Have you talked to your dr about another alternative for your arthritis? Are you planning on staying off the tabs for good now?

There is some good info here in the health pages on the top right of this page. The thomas recipe and the amino acid protocal can help a bit. I hope you feel better soon. Congrats on 3 days clean:)
