vicodin withdrawals
I'm starting day one off of pain meds tomorrow I couldn't get anybody to watch my kids so I will be taking care of them while I withdrawal this is my second attempt of doing this and I'm %100 sure I can do it this time I can't keep taking vicodin it's ruining my life a feel like such a horrible mother idk how I let it get this bad I've been taking 10 mg. vicodin for over 11 months now and just went downhill I feel just horrible I have ammodium and women's vitamins and 5 valium some sleeping pills too is there anything that can make this easier for me? My kids are ur7 years old and 10 months old.
Thank you for me answering my post you really gave me a positive outlook on it I've had a lot of ppl say that about the valium so I will only take them when anxiety is really bad I have time sleep aid so I will be able .ro get some sleep hopefully I Jane two young children so I know twos is not gonna be easy but I did this before and made it to the third day but then started using again I know I can do this all I need is you people on here once Im done I don't ever wanna see another painkiller for the rest of my life
Hi well on the bright side you haven't been on them long but you have been on them long enough to be addicted ...first off this wont be as bad as your thinking it is always worst in our minds then it turns out to be...this is 1/3 phyical and 2/3 mental so be ready to fight on both fronts a positive attitude is a big help as for relief a hot soak with epsom salt goes a long way it will relax you as well as force magnesium into your system I say this a lot but...''you just need to be ok without being ok for a wile'' if you can pick up some movies sleep is almost impossible wile your doing this it will give you something to do wile up all night you will need all the support you can get I highly recamend N/A meetings it will help you address the mental side of this quiting pills is only part of this addiction is a disease and needs to be treated you will be welcome with a hug and will no longer be alone in this also pick up some gator aid and force the fluids the valium will help but it is ez to become cross addicted please be careful with them and only take them if needed keep posting for support we all want to see you make it good luck and God bless...........................Gnarly..............................
Hi Kit,
I abused vicodin too and I am now off of them for 18 days. The first day actually wasn't too bad. I just had anxiety about getting sick. Day 2-4 were hard for me. I had the runs and restless legs and didnt sleep well. You mentioned you have sleeping pills so that may be jn your favor. I also took about 6-7 sometimes 8 a day. I was on the pills for 5 years with my addiction at its worst the last two years. I went to work on day 5 and got thru it. Trust me you can do this. Just feels like a virus. I am a single mom and did the things I had too and my daughter just thought I had a bug. I feel so much better now. Honestly the detox for me was easier then the last few days. The mental part of this is tricky. You need aftercare of some sort, strength and faith to continue on your new journey. This was the hardest thing I have ever done, but the best thing as well. I am so proud that I conquered this addiction and I am proud if you for starting this new journey tomorrow. I am here for you please reach out. Also, Imodium, gatorade, aleve, vitamins, bananas, broth, crackers, music, movies, hot baths and this forum helped me big time! Best of luck girl! You can do this!!!!!!!!!

you are going to have w/d for a week probally the 1st 3 days or so will be the worst part. congrats on making up your mind to stop. it would be a lot easier if you had someone to help with the kids. you can get thru this it,s a little pain for a lot of gain you will get when your clean. stay hydrated , take your vitamins, bananas help, Gatorade, sleep aid, take a walk, sunshine is good. before you know it the days will start getting better, good luck. peace out!!!!!!!!!!!
