8 days w/120 10/325 hydros, W/D'sshould be short if none, right?

That's right, I fell off the train again. Well, I was laid off of work and had to pull my 2 year old out of daycare and called the dr. to let him know what had happened and the pain in back was terrible. He said for now, thi was the only option. Maybe excuses but the pain was so bad, I didn't care. Will I W/D or not a lot a least?

I have been on Lyrica. Works great on nerve pain, but it is considered a controlled substance, believe it or not. Topamax is an SSRI. I can't take any of those due to ADHD and the fact I am on Adderall. Advil is an NSAID. IF, I don't take them often, I can get by a day or two on them before the chest pains. I tried Ultram and I don't know if anyone knows this, but mixed with Adderall becomes a seizure-filled day! Lots of fun!

I do understand what your going through.  It seems many of us here are in this pickle.  We do have legit pain, but can't take our pain pills as prescribed. They do have some newer meds out now Topamax, Lyrica.  I don't know much about them though.  I'm lucky that Advil helps me alot. (also a heat pack)  Hang in there.

Well, to all that responded, I would like to thank you. They were very confusing as they differed alot, but nonetheless, they were answers. I just don't know what to do for pain. I have tried it all. Allergic to NSAIDs, Ultram and Demoral. I don't know what else to do. I have even tried muscle relaxers that the doc prescribed that have antesthetic effects, but do you think one of them would work for me? NO!!! I couldn't have something that worked if it wasn't addicting!

I would think the worst is over if your feeling better. Don't be surprised if you have a bad day here and there though.  Keep going.

Well...one thing you learned if u took 120 in 8 days is that your tolerence is still there....and it is just not something you can controll very well....you have no choice but to go for it unless u want to end up back where u were before...I just dont know but I do think you will feel it...just get it done...also u have done it before so u know what to expect...keep posting

120 pills in 8 days  -  I would think the withdrawal would be moderate to severe myself.  I do not know your history though - it might depend on your prior usage.

so u were taking over 10 a day for 8 days....u may feel it...also depends on how long u had been clean beforehand...should not be for more than a few days...I would prepare just in case...it is good u r getting off now instead of later when it would be harder...the more you take and for the longer u take it, the longer the WDs tend to be...everyone is different and it is not an exact science...I do know that if u were and addict before.that many experience mental anguish when letting them go again...I dont think it will be too bad...keep posting...i would get the vitamins and imodium..something for sleep just in case
