Day One HELP!

[patchesohulahan]

I have not had a hydro since this time yesterday, and I feel like I am going to die! I know this sounds horrible but if I only had one I would crush it and snort it. It feels like I have never wanted anything more in my life. I feel so empty, useless, and depressed. I feel like I cannot even function in society. All I want to do is get away from everyone. Someone please talk back and HELP!

how many hydros are u used to taking in a day?

[scared2Bwithout_my_Vees]

This is the hard part.  I was taking 20 vicodin a day and tapered but then went cold turkey about 12 days ago.  I felt like I was losing my mind.  I was irritable, in pain and restless to say the least.  But the next day was better & the day after that better too.  Now I feel so much more like my old self AND best of all I don't have that dirty feeling that clouded my life for so long!!
Think about how hard the day has been.  You don't want to go through that again!  You have to put in your time where its really uncomfortable to get to the other side.  Keep your eye on the prize & you will emerge on that other side.  This will all be a nightmare in the distant past.  But, please don't give up!
Take it easy on yourself.  The chemicals have to get out of your brain before you start feeling better.  Do all the things people above have recommended & it will ease your suffering a little bit.  When you wake up tomorrow it won't be so bad.
I'm thinking of you & sending my prayers!

DON'T GO PURCHASE THEM ON THE STREET!!! Please hang in there!

[patchesohulahan]

I went to my local GNC and purchased most of the items on the Thomas Recipe. I started taking them this morning. I am jerking so bad I can hardly type. I only took one of the 500mg aminos. Should I take more or wait. I have to do something. I have been on opiates for 2 yrs and I feel empty without them. The only option I have left is to go to the street to get them, and I DO NOT want to go that route. I never could have guessed It would have hurt so bad.

Someone on the forum told me to keep a 100 hour diary. It helps to occupy your mind.

[Firefaery1023]

I know that it is hard, but you have to stick with it.  Taking a pill would be the easy way out.  That is why we always put it off.  You need to keep yourself busy, if you want a good distraction from the addiction, read the post about sex and cravings.  I am wishing you lots of luck and love.

I KNOW how you feel, but I swear it will pass eventually.  Keep that mind of yours occupied as much as possible, distraction can help so much.  It will get better, please don't cheat yourself and give in.  It will get easier as these things start to pass.  You won't regret hanging in there, you'll be so much better off on the "other side".

I know how you feel and what you are going though we all do. I don't know if it will help you but on my day one i started cleaning my house real good because i could not sit still and that helped me not think so much about it

[kim715]

Everything you are feeling is perfectly normal,we have all been there,you are not alone.The first few days are hard,you already have 24 hours behind you.you don't want to go back now.Everyday it gets easier.Don't go anywhere.just stay here and keep talking,you're not alone.

[confused456]

I agree....occupy your mind. You can do it. It will get better. Hang in there. Are you on the vitamins, and amino's???

Do something to get your mind off of the hydros, take a walk, shower, keep posting or something. I know the feeling as do many here. We are here to help.
