I have read on here about everyone's experience with withdrawls.  I am just wondering if someone who is taking 5 or less hydros a day for say 5 years, will experience the same kind of withdrawls as someone who has taken two or three times as much of the exact drug?

My personal experience with the withdrawls are different because I was a binge user.  When I would get a script, it was rarely any more than 15 at a time with one refill.  After I took the first 15 (usually within the same 24 hours), I didn't really have any withdrawls, but if I got the refill as soon as it would go through, I would feel a little withdrawl from that.  Mine was usually extreme sweating and itching.  It was almost alway accompanied by diarrhea.

I was just wondering wht others experience was

People who binge can have withdrawls and the more you binge the worse they can get and the more chance you have of becoming a everyday user. A friend of mine was a weekend heroin user for 15 years then just became a everyday user for 5 more years unril he quit for good. Do you want to stop?

[wannabefree330]

I wish my use was only 5 a day!  I take more than 5 at a time (usually 7-8 multiple times a day).  my w/d tends not to start until the 2nd day into it, diarrhea, fatigue, aching, cold sweats, headache, depression.  But as far as being as severe, i don't know, because I cannot compare it?  Will be interesting to hear from someone who takes less

[lady67]

I have already quit.  I am on day 61 free from hydros.  Since I didn't experience that many withdrawls symptoms I was just wondering what others experienced.

I am preparing a plan and I will be quitting. I take 5 to 10 pills a day. The most I have taken at the same time is 3.  I usually take 2 at a time.  So it sounds like my usage has been less than some of you.  I will be more than happy to tell you how the withdrawal process goes for me.  I am sure I will be here often for the help to get through this.  Even
though my usage is less I feel like I have a big problem.

[lady67]

Good luck.  I wish you the very best

Why are you asking about binge withdrawls when you have been clean a while.? I suspect you may have another motive.

[crispie]

I AM 12 DAYS CLEAN, OFF OF PERCOCET.  I WAS TAKING 5-6 DAILY..OBVIOUSLY THEY WERE NOT GETTING ME HIGH, JUST THREW THE DAY...I WAS TAKIN THEM FOR PAIN....WDS...I AM HAVING THEM ALL...SWEATS ARE THE WORST STILL...I FIGURED I WOULD BE GETTING ALITTLE BETTER BY NOW SEEING HOW I REALLY WASN'T TAKEN TOO MANY

[cathy5841]

lady was just asking about others experiences and sharing hers.  doesn't mean she has other motives.  she is just curious.

i was an oxy snorter.  alot everyday.  my w/ds were absolutely horrible for a little over a week.  then sslllooowwwlllyyy they got better. lol

[lady67]

Mr. Lucky--

This forum has been friends discussing what they had been through.  I have told numerous times that I didn't have withdrawls and I can't comment on that.  I have also stated that I have never been associated with addiction before so all of this stuff is new to me.  When others on here post how horrible the withdrawls are, I have no clue what they are talking about.

Yes I was binger user, but I made a promise at my father's funeral that I would be clean for him and I plan to live up to that.  If you think there is another motive then you have a right to think that, but my friends who have been with me on here for months and who know me, know the truth.

People like you are the reason so many people go back to drugs.  I choose to find out about these things and educated myself on the disease of addiction rather than sit back and criticize the people who are trying to support one another.

Have a Wonderful Day Mr. Lucky.  I know I will
DAY 62 is AWESOME.

P.s.  good afternoon Cathy.  I love ya and can always count on you to have my back.

[lady67]

Also, just what do you think my motive would be?

[mr.lucky66]

People like me are the reason people go back on drugs? How absurd is that statement? If people make other people go back to drugs than we are all screwed. No body makes anyone go on drugs. Especially me. I want to see people stay off drugs. I have seen a lot of hidden agendas and maybe I was wrong this time

[lady67]

Yes, you were wrong this time.   I have NO hidden agendas except to maintain the sobriety I worked so hard to achieve.  I wanted to know about the withdrawls of others on here so I would understand what people are going through when they say they need help.  I would like to offer some kind of help but I can't without any information.  I think it is very unfair to jump to conclusions about people after speaking to them only one time.

HI everyone and lady I dont think u need to explain urself to anyone u were not treated very fairly and owed an apology with that said. I was a norco user for 6 years at my worst I was up to about 6-8 10/35's a day I did get myself to a certian extent under control after getting caught getting scrips from more than one dr, at my best (I guess u could call it that??) I was down to 3 a day. I had someone on this forum tell me I had less of a problem than someone taking 10 a day, to me that person was very ignorant about what addiction is, Im sorry im venting alittle in this post too lol. Im sure my physical w/ds werent as bad as someone taking much more (and i had help from methadone) BUT my biggest problem was the mental addiction tapering really helped me to be ready to stop it was like showing myself SEE u can do whatever it might be at the moment without a happy pill. Everyone is different though I had a very bad day yesterday and was impressed with myself that I made it through with only 2 I wish I had a pill thoughts so I guess thats progress lol!!

[lady67]

I wish you the best of luck with your recovery.  I am at day 63 and it feels great.  I still have the cravings from time to time, but it isn't on my mind 24/7/365 as before.  Thanks for your kind words.
Susan

[Sunnyd210]

I think sometimes people say things without thinking and its not fair. I wouldnt really say its a craving I guess alittle mayb I just think sometimes under stress my brain forgets I dont take pills anymore if that makes any sense. And there is no need to thank me :) Im just a few days behind u I thought getting to 30 days went fast but getting to 60 is soo long??

[Marebears]

It doesnt matter if its 1 or 100 a day you still need to face the fact that your not going to feel good and you will be sick! The real question is do you want to do none a day??????
