Hydro Detoxing

[kally1]

Well Wednesday I was going on 48 hours without any pills. Then I couldn't take it anymore and took out money from the account and went and bought more. 20 to be exact. Now it has been 24 hours since I ran out of those and I am sick again. The depression is the worst because I really wasn't supposed to take anymore money from the bank account and my boyfriend is so pissed. We have been together for 9 years and he knows whats going on with me but is freaking out over the money. So I feel very guilty over that and I am really not going to take any more pills because this has just got to stop. Im tired of the worry/guilt/and wd's. This habbit of mine is about 15 norcos a day and Im going cold turkey. I cant stop crying, Im hot and cold. My stomach is tore up and im taking pepto for that which is helping a little. I restless and just have no idea what to do with myself, it feels like im going crazy. I have weed but that isn't doing anything to help. I know it only gets worse and im just starting to go through the wd's...again. CT!
And my back hurts too. But really I think the depression is worse, knowing that I am not taking anymore pills is a very scary feeling.
Talk to you all later. thanks.

hi i take subutex and i know some will say its a way out but it saved my life i took around 30 loritab tens a day and believe me i was broke and devistated becausemy hubby was working overtime and wondering were all the money was going on top off that i wanst paying the bills and just writing advanced payday loans and title loans and 3 months behind on my morgage and feeling like i was drowning  which contributed to the depression need i say more and icouldnt tell anyone because i was afraid everyone would leave me and i wouldnt blame them i wanted to leave myself i also have 2 kids to take care of a 4 yrol and a 14 yr old so cold turkey would have killed me. I know how you feel when you say you cant think or function but i think if you have insurance and can find a dr you could try suboxone and believe me it will save you life i dont know how this works but you do not think about pills and you have energy and are happy like a good depression med has kicked in well i have talked tomuch but just wanted to say i feel your pain and there are ways out without suffering love to ya Tawnya

Going from 15 to nothing is very do-able! Just hang in there, at about day five you'll start to feel better. It still kind of continues to suck, but not as bad as day's 1-3 and 4-5. lol
Just remember that is you ever pick up another hydrocodone pill, you will go right back to where you are now.......and it ALWAYS ends there at some point!!!!

Hang in there kally, you can make it.  Keep busy. I know it's hard to get motivated but at least for a few hours a day try doing any activity that can take your mind off the pills for at least short periods of time.

Don't worry about never having pills again.  That is what you want, and when you want it enough you will quit.  Good look - you can beat this.

Don't give up on the weed.  I heard it can help at night.

Day one to four was difficult again but it started to get better each day after this and then after day nine I was doing great. Yes you feel bad today but there is a price we all have to pay for fooling around with the pills but just think how great you will feel when you make it through this and will be like everyone else and not a addict anymore.

I went ct from 14 10/325 a day and I worked every day through this. The first few days are difficult but really not that bad you can do this. I am 83 days clean now and I thought life would never be the same without the pills and now I actually feel much better than when I was on the pills.

I play WoW too. Only had it about a month.

I paged my doctor tonight and told him what was going on with me - he offered me no help and told me to go to the emergency room. So theres no way I am going to get any help for this this weekend and I have no choice but to go through the wd's at home. Im already passed 24 hours. I feel really lethargic and my head isn't clear. I have had my stomach real messed up so I have been taking pepto and it is helping. I took 2 advil to get rid of my headache and it did work, im amazed by that. I also managed to eat a bowl of oatmeal...that I made myself. lol. While im lying in my own hot and cold flashes I just realized all the things I will beable to do without worrying about the pills and having enough. I am told it will feel like being let out of prision and I can't wait really. The tough part is that right now I don't know what to do with myself. I am a 29 year old woman, im attractive, I am 97 lbs and I have been taking pills and sitting in front of my computer playing World of Warcraft....if any of you know what that game is lol. But that was how I was living my life and now I don't want to play and I don't know what to do. I am sick and tv doesn't interest me either, so now what?
Earlier I was crying because I couldn't get anymore pills, now im thinking that is good and I don't need em, I want my life back. I think im having mood swings.
Ill keep posting, Thanks,
So CT from 15 norco a day.....how long will this last again?

Several choices...tapering is not one of them for u it seems...ct at 15 a day is do-able but tough...i was at 80 -100.of hydro...sub is an option if u cant get it done without...trying on ur own first is a pre-req i think...if u cant it is a viable option....gotta make a plan, getting clean is the important thing...keep posting

You're right where so many of us have been and it seems like there is no solution.  I did it the subutex way and it soooo changed my life for the better.  It take a doc with a special cert but don't get ripped off by some dox that need a lot of money.  some will just charge a visit.  You can get the list from suboxone's website... the have a zip code search engine

Yea, that is quite high to be going cold/turkey but I have heard of jpeople doing it.

If it is getting to be too much, is there a doctor that can help you if you explain the situation? My doctor gave me 4 sample sleeping pills if i thought i would need them.
Ha, i still have 3 of them 1 year later. (so chicken to take even an aspirin now)

or there is always the emergency room. Have you tried any of the suggestions on line here?

Going from 15 a day to zero is a stiff taper. You'll have several very bad days, in all probability. I take it you are buying from a source other than a legitimate script. You might ought to talk to some of these folks who will answer your post about the suboxone approach. Really should see a Dr. If you do continue to c/t on your own, just be ready to buckle down for awhile. I threw out over 300 pills when I quit. Yes, it's scary, but if you really want to quit, get past that fear. Quitting is about not ever having them around again. Best of luck
