im on lortab and today i overdosed. i thought i was going to die. im going to go off them cold turkey. what should i expect?
honey please get some help if you are feeling this way....call a friend, call the ER....anything! just please get help....and please post a new thread....go to the top of the page and hit "post a question" that way other people will see it and you can get some help. This is a really old post.
I'm feeling suicidal and I was wondering how many loratabs it will take to die..I'm NOT going to do it I was just wondering so I DON'T take too many.....no hope nick
hey!!! I'm great, I feel better than ever i went to church and got saved and i'm on cloud nine. Still no pills, no thoughts about pills!!!! how are you, you really had me worried, How your kids doing
just letting you know im really concerned about you, want to know if you are doing ok.
hey lett me know how you are doing, if you attempted to go thru it and kept it up or gave in, just let me know if your ok,
I'm doing good. I do have my moments and when i start feeling that way or thinking of them i get up and find something to do. I have a lot of support behind me also i'm 24 and i just left my husband and moved back in my parents house and they knew i had a problem and everyday they tell me how proud they are and i know that might sound cheesy but it really does help. Also talking to you helps me, we are going thru the same thing and i feel like i have came so far, a week with no pills is long when you take as many as i did, and to tell somebody who is just starting it that it will get better encourages me to keep it up. At night it sucks sometimes its 4 before i actually fall asleep i will toss and turn all nite, My arms hurt more than anything. Physically... it is rough no lie but my kids seeing me sober for the first time means everything. I still have aches but tylenol does help. I'm not a very religious person but i really have started praying a lot to make me strong to get thru this. Mentally... saturday at work i broke down couldn't stop crying and couldn't pull myself together but i made it thru the day. I'm so happy to say i'm proud of myself. Pride is everything. Do this for yourself so you can quit watching the clock for the next pill. I promise you feel so much better because your not lying to everyone or yourself anymore and it just makes it easier. Let me know how you are doing, Please keep in touch
I'm curious how you are doing now. It appears you are holding it together. What are you doing for the w/d? I know keeping busy is a great idea. Just wondered what you do at night before bed. I get so restless and my shoulders, for some reason, ache like ****. What are you doing? Did you try the thomas recipe? Anything else? How is it going physically vs. mentally? I wish you luck.
i will definitly listen to it. I listen to free bird that helps me and also survivor by destinys child but i think of my pills in both songs
i'm on day 5 and i don't have much energy until i go to work and then it takes a min to get energy but i do eventually get it. Find your self a project and keep yourself busy. you will feel better. Their is life after pills. don't let them run your life anymore. Keep it going keep your head up. talk to me anytime it helps me.
its day 7 and i have NO ENERGY. why?! please dont tell me ill always be this fatigued!
i know how you feel i have two kids and going thru a divorce but my husband took them also he actually gave me my first one. I am going to an outpatient monday thru friday few hours a day cuz i have detox myself already and i promise you will live without them. it is still a little rough but my pride is much stronger i never thought i would defeat them pills and i did so come on you can do this don't let them run you anymore that is the worst feeling in the world. I know you will hate doing this but flush them and never go back. Open up to your wife and family and tell them you have a problem you want to fix. They will support you. You can do this. I'm doing it with you too.
Thanks a lot! Boy would it be great to have someone to lean on. I hide this from everyone.I haven't told my closest friend or wife. I'm a practicing professional and very functional. But it's such a lie. I just hate it and want to stop before I ruin my life or lose my career. I know I'm onll on a relative few a day, but it runs my life and is in my evry thought. It sucks. I feel like a piece of ****. I've gone as long as four days without it before, but I would have a beer or two and a valium to work it off. It sucked at times but I also felt I was getting more normal again....wanting to go and and socialize more and had more energy around my kids. I'm just so afraid of the pure detox. Going in patient isn't an option because of what I do. I can't leave what I do for that period of time. It just ain't kosher. Is there are outpatient that is out there? I really don't want the methadone or subox as I heard those make things worse. Thanks for any support you can give me.
i can take thirty easy right now, but i have let them take my life for 6 years. Go cold turkey and keep your self busy. even though you feel like you can't move. i got busted with them by my mom at my work and i work with a christian family. I was so embarassed they thought a lot of me and then they find out there is another side to me. i had to work everyday since and the second day i was laid on the bathroom floor at work thinking this will never end and how it is so easy to make it all go away but i found my old self again and i seriosly started talking to myself saying you can do this your much stronger than those pills don't let them take your life anymore!!! i was so tired about lying to myself. I quit cold turkey and it is my 4th day without one and i promise you i feel much better those first three days are killer but tell yourself are you that weak that you will let a pill run your life and hang in there i promise by the 4th day you will feel much better take a few tylenol a day to help the pain and you will get thru it. you should also rent the movie 28 days it really helped me a lot i promise you can relate to it. don't go to valium or xanax they are the hardest drug to get off of and you can't quit them cold turkey with out serious problems, i talked to a counselor today that told me that so if you need any advise i will gladly help cause i thought i was the only one going thru this but i'm not and i am much better now and if only someone gave me the courage to do it, it is rough but it is well worth it
I'vebeen on 6 vicodin a day for four years. I'm not out of them but I just want off of them. I'm tired of thinking of my next fix or looking at the clock until the next dose. Never got them legally. I hate it. I just want off. Should I wean down to two then stop? Go cold turkey? Does everyone just try valium and alcohol to get through? It's ruining my life slowly but surely. I'm encouraged when I hear some of you were takin 30 pills a day and kicked it. Any suggestions would help greatly.
i feel much better today and i promise it will get better and there is life after them stupid pills. Its my fourth day without one and i never thought i feel like i do now, i can actually move without them. Find you something to do and dont stop thats what they do to me at work and it really helps. Also the movie that has really helped is 28days with sandra bullock. if you haven't seen it please do. She is just like me except i took way more than her and she goes thru all the withdrawls and she made it just like im doing. Please rent it, it will help. It did me!!! everytime i think bout how im hurting i think of it and i will raise a horse hoof.
The 3rd and 4th day are the worst so it sure be uphill from here. I think both you ashly and sinkorswim are about the same age so being young sure helps in recovery. s or s~ i had alot of panic attacks too the 1st week or so of quitting but your body has to adust to the changes. Are you talking or writing to someone because you can not keep your feelings in. The more you can express here & tell about yourself the more people will be able to help you so don't stay bottled up OK.
I have been addicted to lortab 10mg for six years. I would wake up and take at least six with five tylenol just to start the day by five in the afternoon i ate twenty if not more and they weren't prescribed. I'm on my 3rd day without one and to top it off i've had to work all three days, i thought i was going to die. I still have muscle aches and don't feel like moving but i have let this control me way to long! I didn't think there was life without them and Im only 24. it hasn't been easy but what did i expect i did it to myself and now im getting them out of my life. Its so easy just to go back to them but why to go thru this again no i won't. I went cold turkey i take no more than 4 tylenol throughout the day to help with the aches. I feel if i can get thru it so can anyone. Don't give up
