Good job, the first few days are the toughest! You can buy OTC sleep meds and that will help with the night time uncomfortableness. For during the day you could try those 5 hour energy shots. They are all natural and you buy them at gas stations. I made it 8 days once and that's what I did! Good luck!!

Cymbalta should help with depression that comes with withdrawals a lot of the time.  I also went through Lortab withdrawals.  You can expect to feel sick like the Flu for up to 7 days.  I know it's sounds difficult, but if you go for walks, take hot baths, you'll feel a lot better.  Also, look down on the lower right hand corner of this page and you'll see the Thomas Recipe and the Amino Acid protocol.  That will help.  But, if you are already on an anti-depressant, do not take the herbs recommended for depression.  

Good luck.  PM anytime!  My prayers are with you. YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS!!!  I'm on Day 61 and it's so worth it!!!

Hey there. Welcome to the forum.
Im sorry i dont really know much about Lortabs. But there are a load of people on here who have been on them.

Sometimes this site is a little slow.
Depends where in the world your from.
Stick with it your doing really well
It would help  if you let people know how much of the drug you were taking and how often?
My thoughts are with you ..
P.s. If you type Lortabs in the search box at the very top right of the page you can read many peoples experiences with lortab w/d's

Good luck
