48 hours in!

[gunblaster]

I'm new to this website but I've been reading around on it all day and found it really useful! I've been taking 30-40mg of hydrocodone for about 7 months and about roxis 30mg once a week. I stopped cold turkey Monday at 5am when I took my last pill. Been pretty good besides two sleepless night do to restless leg. Went to doctor today and gave me requip for that so we will see how tonight goes. Best of luck to everyone out there! Say a prayer every chance you get for me!

Today has been ok so far. I'm feeling a whole lot better and hadn't even thought of a tab and don't want to....I'm so over pain meds.

Hey there & welcome! A BIG Congratulations to on your 3rd day!

That's fantastic news that you slept 'like a baby'. (Sounds to me like you're one of the lucky ones!) I'm so glad to hear that the Requip worked. Do you have other symptoms? Please, try to remember to hydrate properly [it's super important in detox & speeds it along.] If you suffer from body aches or anxiety & you're lucky enough to have someone who'll oblige, massage & reflexology really help in addition to the hot salt baths that my buddies FourJays & OpenMind24Hours mentioned above. You're Doing it, my friend! Hang in there. We're here.

Make sure you eat something with it though or it will make you puke. I didn't eat with it and puked about 3 times and I maybe allergic to it cause it broke my neck and face out in a really bad rash!

Requip did work last night. I slept like a baby all night!

FourJays  hit the nail on the head about the hot baths. Epsom salts in the bath really help also. Don't even try to lay down to sleep without hitting the tub first! The magnesium in the Epsom salts does wonders. It might help to take a mag supplement in the morning also. Best of luck. You'll get through the rough stuff quickly.

Welcome and congrats on 48 hours in!  So glad you found this site; it has been a lifesaver for me and SO many others.  RLS is such an annoying symptom.  Hot baths (or showers), magnesium and potassium (bananas) all seemed to help me with the RLS too.  Hang in there and keep posting for support as you go through this process.  You can do this!

RLS has been the worst for me so far. Anytime I tapered I would suffer with RLS. Now I am quitting CT. Last night was bad, tonight probably going to be worse. Let me know how requip works. Someone told me to put a bar of soap under me sheets :) whatever works
