[sunnysweet]

Hi to everyone,My Question is could anyone tell me what withdraws i can expect coming off lorcets ,and how long it might take to detox? Im a 40yr woman,  ive been taking lorcet for about two years now, i started taking them due to a back injury,but now i take them cuz i feel i cant go with out them. I take lorcet10/650 mg. A script of 60 last me about a week,and then i buy them off other ppl when im out.I take two pills at a time now about 6 to 10 aday if i have thm.when i dont have them i hate the way my body feels i ach every where and im angry with everything and everyone, I call them my happy pills,and yes i am ashamed.i dont know what to do,i know ive got to stop taking this pills for my family and myself,Can anyone help me with my questions? I was wondering if i lock myself in a room for a week without any help or taking anything would it help me or is there something else i could do? Im a mom, grandmother, wife and a friend and thats all i want to be. I dont want to be a drug addict anymore,plz help if u can.

Have you ever tried "weening" yourself off of them instead of going completely cold turkey??
I know a lot of people dont have the self control to taper off of them, because if they have the pills, they take them, BUT its considerably more comfortable to ween/taper off hydrocodone than to just go cold turkey, and I think people have more success when they do it this way, because a lot of times the withdrawls are so bad that they end up relapsing just because they cant deal with the withdrawls which is understandable, ya know!
Have you ever tried to taper off/ween yourself off of the lorcet?

With the way you are taking them, you could either try:
One pill 6 times per day for 4/5 days.... THEN
One pill 4 times per day for 4 days.... THEN
One pill 3 times per day for 4 days.... THEN
One pill twice per day for 4 days....
One pill in the morning/night for 4 days....
Stop

OR you could try
Two pills 3 times per day for 4/5 days....
One pill twice a day and two pills once a day for 4 days....
One pill three times a day for 4/5 days...
One pill twice per day for 4/5 days
One pill in morning/night for 4 days...
Stop...

Of course, there are many ways you could start to taper off. Just suggesting!
I would try whatever is the easiest on you, as that will give you the most chance at success at getting off the lorcet!
Good luck to you!

you can find a dr in your area who prescribes suboxone It will help you get & stay off the meds you are on for good . Then the Dr will taper you off those then u  r done! but there are only certaain dr who can prescribe this med

Just my opinion, the weening off is much easier. I followed a taper and am down to only two oxy's in the morning and thats it from about 30 a day. It might be an option to try the schedule that was left for you above.  I found success easier and wd's not as bad doing this way.  Good luck and keep us posted on what you choose and how you make out. Best of luck to you...
