Yes but not as bad because of the methadone. I am on a low dose of 30mg right now so It probably is just keeping me from throwing up and being really nauseated. I think I am going to ask for a higher dose tomorrow. I am craving bad so I think I am mentally making myself sweat and shake because I am wanting to use really bad! Plus I live in Los Angeles so the weather here is all f'd up! hahaa! Man I hope I stay clean!
i don't know what happened to the other thread
thank you i will are you sweating
Hang in there. You are almost out! I am on day 1 of my detox off heroin and Oxycontin. I know all about the withdrawals. You need to just exercise and drink water. Keep your mind busy and think about when you didn't need the drug. There was a time when you did not need anything to sleep work live have fun! You can be like it again. Withdrawals are partly mental so just practice remembering how fun and normal you were when you never even heard about pills or drugs! Good luck and wish me luck too! Boy do I need it!
diane I will start a new post
thanks that will make it easier. i tried to lay down but i can't be still i keep getting hot and cold and i'm sweating. just got out of the shower and i'm already hot. it is so humid here we need rain really bad. just a gloomy humid day
Diane, i know you are scared to be honest, but it may help you more then you think...
i am parying for you to feel better soon!!
avis--maybe we can start a new thread for her? since this one is getting long and making her have a hard time....What you think?
diane, yes when you look at the thread just clck on the message you want to read so for me you would click on the avis post that is the nearest to the end of the post it will take you to the bottom
thank you i agree xanax is way worse than lortab. i'm gonna try and tough it out for now actually right now i am gonna get a bath and try to lay down while she is here. i'm gonna try and lay down. i think i will feel better if i come clean to him too. i'm just scared to.
I just read your post...First you have gotten some great advice...Second, Calling your grandmother was best...Especally with a 6 month old...Coming clean is best..As they say "we are as sick as our secrets"...I will tell you that i came off of a drug like xanax about 4 yrs ago c/t..It was the worst 14 days of my life..The problem was, I had no idea it was that, until a girl in rehab told me about 8 days into it...Long strory., but the place should of known...the shaking was unreal, inside and out..And i do think i had a seizure
it wa worst to come off of that then lortabs...
Now what if your grandmother, got you something lets like adivan ( alot better then xanax), and she held them....DO you think she would give in and give them to you??? I dont' think after all you have been through that you would abuse them anyway...lol
I just want you to be safe...I was in a setting where , i could of got better attention, and i didn't, i wasn't trying to hide anything, they knew the klonopin i was on was strong, and had been on it for 4 yrs...I just don't want u to be safe
we are here for you..

is there a way that i don't have to scroll through all these everytime i get a message. this screen is making me sick when i scroll
i'm gonna tuff it out as long as i can. my grand mother is coming over to help with the babies. i had to tell someone. she knows my history. i know how you feel they control me too. every script i tell myself i will make them last. and when you are out a half of one would sounds so good i'd walk a mile barefoot(i am from ky) to get it. i don't know if you're doctor is crazy. but if you are i guess i am too. it's the worst relationship i've ever had to get out of.
my grandmother is on her way over. i just called and talked to her. i told her everything. i can't do this and take care of my babies. right now i need some help. the only herb i took was some stress eez (2) yesterday and i took a soma at nite. neither helped. i think i'm going to come clean to my husband tonite. i look awful. last night he kept asking what was wrong. i just told him i had pms.
Good luck to you as I know each day will be hard until (I don't know as I never had the strength to do it). I promised myself that next month I will try to reduce no matter what. I pray for the day I am off the xanax but alas my doctor even said, to be prepared that I might need alittle bit every day for life....(for him he means 4mgs) Do you think he is crazy? Are maybe I am.... thinking of you .... don't beat yourself up if you cave in as it might me better at least on the xanax and at least you can be proud that you stopped the lortaps. I think you should try one substance at a time. Is that do-able? But trust me, again, I know what you mean about all or nothing. Those darn things have so much power over me that I honestly don't even remember where they go when I count them and I swear that I have lost many (but I probably took them instead), again, that was in the beginning. Now I'm at a halted stand-still around 8mg.
Cheerios
have you considered being admitted into the hospital? What you are doing is very very dangerous..also taking a bunch of herbs if you don't know what your doing can also be harmful..especially st.johns wart..
today will be worse i already know that but mentally i think im prepared its the physical part that will be worse
i hope today is a bit better for you :)
it was a rough night but i made it. lets see how today goes. craving is bad. i only slept maybe an hour.
my husband had 90 lortab 10 filled on aug 4 for his back actually i filled them for him cause he doesn't take pills they were gone in 11 days he caught me it was bad
i understand but i have tried that. i wish i could but i will take them until they are gone sometimes i'm afraid i won't wake up in the morning i've taken so much stuff
I don't think you understand what people are trying to tell you. With Xanax withdrawal, you can't just "sweat it out." Quitting cold turkey is a very serious thing, like Bubbles described in the 8th post from the top. We aren't trying to scare you, we are just concerned.
