lortab withdrawal

[rfactor]

how does one deal with the mental part of withdrawal?( from hydrocodone which i have been using for years, low amt--4/a day)  depression, no self-esteem,social anxiety  etc. started taking wellbutrin about 2 weeks ago.

I have been taking lortab 10--about 5-8 a day for a 1 1/2 year. I want to stop but Im scared of the withdrawals I havent gone a full day without at least one pill since I started taking them for back pain. I get a full prescription tomorrow and I know that if I dont make a step towards stoping soon I wont. -----How do I wing myself off? Take my prescribed amount? Then try taking less? Or just take less everyday??

I know this is an old thread but I thought I would post my experience.

I would switch between Vicoprofen (Vicodon but with Advil) and Lortabs....

I took them for 2-3 short months. I started taking 2 10's a day and then by the last 2-3 weeks was up to 4 a day.

I got off and it has been 9 days. I would say 3 days was painful and symptoms lasted a total of 7 days. I was great on day 4!!!!!!! Then day 5-7 I was bad again. I think because I had some alcohol to cope with pain.

I have never been addicted to anything.. No Cig's, alcohol, drugs, etc....

The only symptoms I had was slight chills, BAD pain, and really deppressed. It was still HELLISH........ (slight craving of drug) That's is gone now. Thank GOD!!!

I did not have diarreah until yesterday and it is still ongoing.... BUT that is my only symptom... and slight flushing on my face yesterday

Never had any of the following.. NO sneezing, NO vomiting, etc....


Today is heaven.. I feel like I am my old self again! I will never never never take these again... I had relapsed once after only taking them for 3-4 weeks. I could not believe I was addicted.... But my symptoms lasted only 3 days then..

I will not relapse this time, especially because now I am unable to get anymore from my dr.

my daughter finally admitted she is addicted to lortab for the third time; this time she has really hit rock bottom with the real possibility of losing her fiance and her finances in a horrible mess; she took money from him as well as us but today admitted all to her psychiatrist and last night to us.....she wants to beat this for the last damn time....how can me and her dad help her best?????? thanx so much for any advice; i am a nurse but still feel so helpless...she takes zoloft, adderall, ativan and now has been given a few days of xanax to try to keep the hallucinations at bay.....

I've always said-   never underestimate the power of prayer

i took lortab for 3 years and was up to 8 to 10 a day when i went to rehab.  when i got out i did good for about a year until i went to the dr for a sinus infection and the dr gave me hc cough syrup and the adddiction started again. i started taking lortabs again but only 3 or 4 a day for about 6 months when i decided to stop before it got back to where i was before.  the only thing that got me through it this time was God. im on day 3 which is usually the worst day and i feel great! pray for strength and God will get u through cause the only thing that is making you crave is the devil.
