need help with hydrocodone withdrawal

hydrocodone



I suffered from hydrocodone addiction for around three years when I was sent to jail and suffered through the horrible withdrawal.  I have been back home for 8 months and again have started taking the pills for about a month off and on and the past week every day.  Already I am having the withdraw symptoms.  I didn't know it could happen this fast.  When I was clean I told myself I would never take another loracet (hydrocodone) again.  Now look at me.  It is so hard because everyone in my family close to me is on them for medical reasons and such.  They offer them to me when I am hurting out of the kindness of their hearts. I resisted for 7 months and then fell weak again.  I need help.  I am going to college and raising two kids ages 4 and 2.  I don't have time to go through the withdrawal bcause of everyday life and withdrawal is the worst physical and mental pan I have ever been through.  I am trying to tapper of of them instead of cold turkey hoping that I can still function to live my life and take care of my children.  If anybody has any suggestions on how to control the withdrawal symptoms please let me know?  I am suffering but need help because I am really through with the pills this time and I want my life back.  Thank YOU

I've been on Loracet and Ativan for pain and anxiety for 2-3 yrs now,       well my dr. retired and I'm cut off all at once, have been going through massive withdrawals now for 2 wks. don't know what to do, but I feel for you , but your not alone here.
Guess we have to get mad and get over it, tomorrow will be a better day I hope. I'm 54 yrs old man, have had bouts with drug abuse all of my life mostly, cold turkeyed the dilaudid,heroin era, cocaine era, MDA era, phycodelic era (not too addictive tho),
but here I am and going thru it again, but I will get over it and carry on or die trying.
     hang in there !!!

I was hooked on hydrocodon for two years after a back injury in college. After graduation i decided to quit before gra d school and had no success weaning off of them. So i bit the bullet and went to detox for a week and it was miserable cramps, chills, diarehaa, aching joints, muscles, and i swore i would never do it again. I was clean for two years finished grad school, started working full time and then hurt my back again. For the last 7 months i have been taking 5-6 10s everyday  and cannot tell my new job i need a week off to detox from dope. I am currently just finishing my fourth day without them and the pain is definately going away. When i was in detox they gave me valium to lessen the withdrawls and what i did this time was i used adderall during the day at work which allowed mr to still perform my job while curbing my appetite which in turn dramatically decreased my cramps and diarrea since all i would eat during the day was healthy smoothies and  water. At night i took the valium to relax and help me get some sleep. Unfortunately the pain was still there but the adderall gave me the energy to deal with the pain and focus on my job. I know this is not a "natural" detox method but it has definately allowed me to stay productive while withdrawing.  The next phase will be the mental which will always be there. Good luck to all of you suffering from this afflication i feel your pain but god damn it we have to hang in there and keep trying because the pain really is only temporary

God bless you all and hang in there!

Yea... here is just a comment.
I have been using Hydrocodone  on and off because of a back injury. To bad for me that I think i am addicted. This is not a good thing. I have realized that the more you take, the more you need. My tolerance has built up very high.
I just feel normal when I am taking this drug. I just would like to feel normal without the drug. Now, with a family there is no easy way out. I think I will take my v's at night and take large amount of tylenol and asprin, maybe try to get a script for Darvacet. That could definatley help during the withdrawels i am about to face
Have a better day who ever reads this ...
i think i am going to die soon.
