[LeaAnn807]

Ok....great!  Thanks!!!! : )

[quitinoxys]

No, tramahater u read it right actually ahhhhhh76 has stated a new thread where someone has pointed that out to him.

[LeaAnn807]

Hey!  Just an idea and I know you don't really want any bad news here, but opana is a strong opiate!  You are just replacing one with another, I think.  If you are coming off of oxy and taking opana, then you shouldn't even be in WDs, right?  Maybe I misunderstood when I was reading this.  I just woke up!!!!!!!!!!!! : )

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong....?????

[ahhhhhh76]

Quitnoxys is right Lamnothere i went out yest. for a walk with my wife and we went to the health food store and purchased everything from the Thompson recipe , went for abou 50 dollars but i do see a diff. i think lol, yest. was the worst for me Lamnothere it really was i will help u through it just keep posting its all  do now it really helped me yest.

[quitinoxys]

I know how you feel you know what helped me was exercise or talk a walk. Have you looked at the Thomas recipe or Amino Acid protocol? It definitely helps. I will pray for you and I know you can make it I am in Day 6 of CT and I am over the hump now. Hang in there pretty soon you will be counting in days, weeks, months etc;

i got a couple hours of sleep too (after finishing a bottle of nyquil)  made it 48 hours now..  this morning i am not doing well very agitated and unable to stay in the same position for more then 2 seconds.. its like i got restless legs all over my body now..

[ahhhhhh76]

ok so i just got 5 hours of sleep straight through yayyyyy, i just hit 61hours and man ohh man , i dont feel as depressed this morn. i dont know yet i soo hate the morn. they scare me yest was the worst morn. ever, my mind never worked that way before it never thought those thoughts but today seems diff.almost like im proud of myself weird.Im a 36 year old man always considerd myself strong and a leader a fixer i have never cryed this much in forever.I will never ever ever touch one of those evil things again ever people .Hang in there Lamnothere i see the light i think lol im proud to have u right behind me here and that i can lead ur way we are almost in the clear here...

[Iamnothere]

its not that bad.. the 10mg is a little high they come in 5mg 7.5mg and 10mg as far as i know so you are on the high end of that but i on average take the equivalent of that per dose. i usually dose 2-3 times a day on average.. i am going through ct wd right now its not at all fun.. you are at the point you most likely can get off of them easy enough. you will still struggle a little but it will be worth it. im at about 41 hours right now.. cant sleep so i write.. this helps a little

I have been taking hydrocodone for about 6 months. I stated out taking two at bedtime. The dose is 10mg I believe. It also has APAP 325mg. Is this a heavy duty dose. As time has gone by I increased the dose to 3 pills at bedtime and I have also gone as high as 4 to 5. The last two nights I used 2 and the 1 tonight so far. I feel miserable and would like to know if the above dose is heavy duty. I am going to try 1 pill at night coupled with 2 to 3 Klonopin. What can I expect over the next week? Should I go cold turkey with the hydro and keep using the Klonopin until the cravings subside? I would appreciate any support. I feel lost.

[Iamnothere]

yeah nyquil has been my friend.. still not putting me to sleep but taking the edge off the other symptoms.. almost at 39 hours.. geez i have never counted time so much. i have had a nagging headache the last two hours not really bad just annoying.. you would think with the acetaminophen in it that would take care of the headache guess it would be a lot worse if not. if i could get to sleep it would be awesome.. i am with you though i think after this i will hate gatorade, nyquil, and alka-seltzer..  

[quitinoxys]

Hang in there I know how you are feeling I am @ 5 1/2 days I got my first nights sleep last night. It does get better so hang in there you are going to make it. And yes this forum has helped me greatly especially when I was up in the middle of the night until the sun came up due to insomnia.  I will pray for you.

[ahhhhhh76]

Haha look at this me making someone else seem hopefull , ur right behind me here friend,54 hours in 20 min. ok cant wait to make it to 72 and yes the leg thing is the worst someone said to take some nyquil or something like that but i dont know about that just cant take another night night sleeping is all im going to try sleepytime tea and some melatolin tonight keep ur fingers crossed, i smoked some pot this afternoon i had in the garage since Jan. not a good idea i got so parinoid and made me very depressed so dont do that lol will keep u posted and im glad ur right behind me here, its so hard for me to drink and eat my wife forces me every hour or so im starting to hate Gatorade...

[Iamnothere]

well at the moment i am not horrible.. if i could get rid of the crazy legs i would be ok. I am just expecting this to get worse the further along i go. It comforts me the progress you are making. give me a little hope for how i might turn out.

[ahhhhhh76]

[Iamnothere]

funny.. just sending that has relaxed me just a little... not as anxious as i was a minute ago..

[Iamnothere]

hey I just wanted to let you know you are not alone. I have been taking hydrocodone for over a year. I am on hour 36 I am feeling pretty bad myself. I was so proud of myself making it to 32 I thought I would have no problems with this... amazing what 4 hours can do. I am trying to hang in there. I picked up a bottle of nyquil to attempt to sleep.. restless legs are killing me. I am also alone here. No one knows I am going through this. I hope you stick with it. I will try to hang in there as well..

[vicki595]

Keep posting~
Vicki

[ahhhhhh76]

Thanx Danny , and im on that track i still have alot of the blue pills all over the house how weird i remember now where they all are , but im glad 48 and then some are gone. I love this site but hate the train ride one must take to find it glad you are all here and my laptop is stuck on this site till the end people.

[Danny111]

If you're already 48 hours into your detox I would definitely not recommend going back to your doctor and starting a weening regimen.  Days one through four are the worst and you're already through the first two.  Why blow that by going back on the pills and starting to wean?  

That's just my opinion and everyone has to get sober in their own way.  I just hate to see someone recommend to you that you should taper instead of just quitting especially when you're already through the first two days.

I noticed that an above post said that wd's can be dangerous to your health.  In the case of Opiate withdrawals this is not true.  You won't feel very well and you'll probably have diarrhea, restless legs, depression and a hard time sleeping.  Luckily this will all be gone in a few days.  Usually 7-10 or so.  Then you'll be feeling a lot better.

If you decide to taper instead you'll prolong the entire thing.  For many people that doesn't even come close to working.  For others apparently it does work.

Opana will not help with the withdrawals I took them with at night after using vicodin during the day for abt 6 months and I felt no relief from it and I just stopped taking them and had no withdrawals... If I were u I would go to ur dr or the e.r and explain to them ur condition and how u feel the should give u an amount to start weening off if that's what u want. And best of luck

[impatientrn]

Wow. Alone? Why would you tackle that without help? 48-72 hours is the peak of withdrawls, but it can be dangerous to your health. You should be under medical supervision.
