Hi oneeagle, I think my wife is on either Vicoden or Percocets. Reading your post from 12/28, I recognize several things here that I recognize and now looking back see patterns. My wife is on Lorazepam (for headaches) and had been for several years. I've seen an increase in the use of Benedryl and increased RSL in her lately. I think she's out
of whatever she's taking and I;m wondering if she's detoxing this way. She goes through a ton of water, but always has. She's also taking a ton of motrin. I'm concerned about that too. She bought a 160 count bottle and in less than 10 days has 84 left. What will the Motrin do to her? She's also been taking lots of soaks in our hot tub.
Have I been blind to her efforts to detox? When I look back, I see patterns like above repeated. Will withdrawn cause a runny nose for days, or am I reading too much into it?
Also, (this is a little too much info) will Vicoden cause it to be hard to urinate? As a spouse, you know everything and it seems like she sits there forever before going?
Any feedback would be helpful
You werent doing a massive amount of hydrocodone - but you were doing enough for long enough to develop a habit.....the lorazepam will help the withdrawals - check out the Thomas Recipe (put it in search for forum) and try and follow it. You will have some unpleasant times, but they will be manageable. Take vitamins and supplements, use immodium for diarrea, mantain hydration (gatorade,pedialyte,water) hot showers/baths are your good friend - use them. Besides lorazepam - use benadryl, melatonin, sleepytime tea (celestial seasonings)for sleep. Keep the soma in reserve for sleep and RLS - or muscle spasms
Woops, mistyped a couple of things! First of all the lorazepam are 2 years old, they were given to me right after my brother was killed. Therefore; I'm not even sure they would still be effective anyways.
