[jenniferb777]

I started taking hydro after I had my child on april 16th and today is my 1st day without them i started taking them becuase of my back and well loved the high so continued to take them.  it has been about 2 and 1/2 month of taking them today i have no energy and am kind of feeling the hot sweats is this the worst of it becuase I have not been taking them very long also how long does the depression last I have not felt that yet but am sure I will.  I know I did not take them long but I did take a lot of the 10/325 about 8-10 a day I just want to stop this now before it gets out of hand I am hiding it from my husband and have a new baby I am scared about how I am going to take care of my baby during thid period I already dont have the energy to do anything and its only been a day.

so glad to hear you told your husband. My husband was VERY supportive of my quitting, and I know that's what helped me get this far :) Proud of you for telling him, that can be the hardest part for many people. Keep going, it will be worth it and hang in there. It will get better. You have length of use on your side, hopefully the initial withdrawal won't be as bad as you're expecting! A good attitude will take you much further than you'd think. ;) Stay strong ♥

Great job telling your hubby!  I know it is a very hard thing to do, but with his support you will have an easier time stopping!  I am very proud of you!  Keep us posted.

I DID FIND IT IN ME TO TELL MY HUSBAND AND YOU ARE SO RIGH I AM GLAD I DID BECAUSE HAD I NOT NOBODY WOULD HAVE KNOW BUT ME SO WHY NOT TAKE ANOTHER PILL TO STOP ALL THIS PAIN I AM FEELING TELLING HIM WAS HE BEST THING I COULD HAVE DONE THANKS EVERYONE

Goodness. I started taking the same pills 3 years ago, and I WISH I would have stopped in the time you have just stopped. Luckily, you recognized this addiction early on. I wish I had did the same. STOP WHILE YOU CAN! It WILL get worse. it will require more and more pills in due time, believe me, you don't want that to happen. Im glad you have a doc that cares enough about you, that he/she will help you taper. You will feel bad the first 3 days. But dont let these pills control you. Your WD's wont last long. Its sooo worth it. Peace!

Jen~ It could get worse,especially the low energy.  Keep going to work and see how you do. Take drinks with you,etc..  Sometimes work is a good distraction!!
