yes opiates are a cough suppresant. thats why some cough syrups have hydro in them.  So when you stop taking your pills, your coughing reflex is no longer suppressed and can make you cough more than usual...
btw i sent you a a PM so check your box..

also...I dont sneeze...but I get this ANNOYING cough...I didnt have that the first time...anyone else get a cough?? Its like a tickle in the back of my throat...and it goes away when I take pills (imagine that) lol ...  

I just need ALOT of support this time. B.c it is SO much easier to get through my day with them...but I need to stop..for my son. Please help me..

I feel you honey..the WD's are horrible. I stopped cold turkey in 06..from taking vicoprfen and xanax. It was HORRIBLE!! I went through withdrawls for about a month it seemed. I couldnt sleep...was hot all the time..achy...flu like symptoms. I was MEAN as hell...and just a miserable person..but it got better after about 3 weeks...so hang in there. I am in the same boat AGAIN! I had to take some pain meds after I had my c-section..and so I have been taking them for a year now. Not everyday...but when I do get some..I take about 8 a day...like today.. I took 7 10mg. I was going to save a few for tomorrow..but I never can. SO.. I have decided..NO MORE! I know how HARD it is..TRUST ME! BUT..once you start feeling better..it is SO worth it! I was in the best mood when I was off of them..and especially when I was pregnant. And as soon as I started taking them again...my mood changed..my relationship with my husband changed...and it just *****. He has to stop taking them as well..so we are going to go through this together. I am here for ANYONE....and I need help as well.

Im not sure how you contact a person on here..but please feel free to contact me. I have yahoo messenger..and we can support each other!!! I need it! I am not sure HOW I am going to get through this having to take care of an 11 month old...having to follow him around everywhere and pick him up and down. I have a bad back and it kills me..but I guess I will just have to get over it! Also... I noticed I didnt have ANY back pain when I stopped taking them the first time!!! I felt AMAZING after it was all said and done...so that is my motivation for this time...remembering how I felt. Trust me..you WANT to do this! I PROMISE!

I was on hydro, kalonipin, whatever pain killer I could stick in my mouth including xanax and as much as I could and then when I realized what I had done to myself, because I was an alcholic 20 years before I remembered how addicted I was then but never was addicted to drugs and so it made no difference to me, so I took em and got snagged. Well it scared me so bad to have that monkey on my back again I quit cold turkey from everything. I would suggest that you don't do it that way. Its very unconfortable and there is a better way as is told on this board. I have found tramadol to be the best to stop the withdrawls and give you the opportunity to feel human and not so much anxiety, However I have to tell you that its all about you!!!! Its what you really want and I'm sure you want to be free of this so be happy that you are almost through it, listen to the people on this board they'll pull you through. As for me I had a surgery three years ago and got back on hydro again thinking that I wouldn't get hooked and now I have to do it
again but I will because I hate that HUGH monkey on my back. It'll take me a week to get human and not be edgy but I'll do it, and I will remember that I hate this kind of life worse than anything else in the world and the waste of my life, time, money, and people around me is heart rendering, sad, stupid etc. That's enough, I can only kick my own *** only so much. It won't take as long as you might think when you already know your going to win. Thanks

I have been taking them everyday for the past 3.5 years.At my highest I was at about 30 a day.I tapered to about 10 a day before going ct. I have never done this before. I feel worse now then ever. I hae that I have people with pills just waiting for me to cave and buy.But im at 42 hours and just cant see turning back now............omg thjis is bad

[troubleinohio]

nauty...you like to sneeze??? you sure are a strange one, lmao!  I HATE when i sneeze! I never do those little dainty sneezes...mine are always those huge ones where you gasp and inhale like your hyperventilating for 20 seconds preceeding it and then WHAMMO it about gives me a hernia, throws my back out and makes my sinuses implode, LOL. Seriously it does that! Im glad to see you enjoy sneezing though, lol

and to keep this on topic, TryingSoHard... keep hanging in there!!! how long were3 you taking them for?? and have you quit and relapsed previously, or is this your first time quitting them ever?   that makes a big difference in WD

[NautyOne]

Hang in there.  You will be an emotional wreck for a couple days, possibly.  Try to plug through it.......you can!!  LoL on the imodium!!  You will poop again!  it may be brick...ouch!  but you will.....lol.  I loved the sneezing.  I have always loved the feeling of sneexing....esp. when you get the 10 in a row!!! wooo hooo Score!!!.......

Couple more days and the physical will start to lighten up.  I hate to say this....now don't poop on me when I do, but you may feel a little worse today and TOMORROW  ahhhhhhh Ino, but keep posting, and will do our best to keep you going!!!

~~~hugs~~
Nauty.............

I keep yawning and sneezing????

[TitansFan18]

Just believe in yourself and know you can conquer anything you want. Just think of your past successes and compare them to this new hump to get over in your life, and this will seem like a piece of cake. It is only a matter of time so just hang in there. I am on day 8 and I really am starting to feel like myself again and you can too.

[troubleinohio]

[wannaquit2]

I quit cold turkey 7 days ago from hydros. the first 3-4 days were the worst then I had a few good days and day 7 was hard for me. From what I have heard and the dr. says the first 4 days are the hardest and within 2 weeks you should be better. I am just telling you what I know from my experiences. I was the same way thought I couldn't do it anymore at 24 hours, but I made it to 7 days so far. Just know youre in the hardest part right now and it will get better. Keep going youre almost there!! Good Luck!!!
