Hydrocodone Witdrawel Day 3

[charizzio]

Hello to all. I just wanted to post and say that I am on day 3 of hydrocodone withdrawal(some oxycodone all for lower back pain). During my 2 plus year addiction I have done this withdrawel hell to many times. This going to be the last. I am having really rough nights and mornings because I can't get to sleep and I am self medicating to get to sleep. My goal is to get away from putting all of this stuff, supplements, other perscription drugs like flexeril which is all I have to knock me out. Supplements can only do so much for me, I am out of xanax, but I want to stick it out I don't want any more perscriptions of my own. I have been depressed, tried St. Johns wort which works very very mildly for me right now (I started it before I went cold Turkey for about a month.)

Anyhow my head is still very cloudy, depression is there and I know it will get better but it is just great to see you all hear for support. This is the first time I have done this as I am trying to be more pro-active this time around instead of re-lapsing after a month or two.  I appreciate your kind words.

Thanks again !!  I think it will be OK to try one or 2 nights after that I want to go more natural.

To be honest, I had to google Midrin to see what was in it. I haven't used this before. Maybe someone here could give some info on it? You may want to post a question with the drugs name in it. It may solicit a better response.

Have you tried or heard of anyone trying Midrin. My girlfriend has it for headaches, I could take 1 or 2 before bed as it has Dichlorphzn which is a mild sedative?

The clonidine was a miracle for me. It's a prescription med for blood pressure. By lowering your bp, it lessens many of the wd symptoms like anxiety, chills, sweats, and for me, the aches and pains. Your doc would probably write it for you easily if you call and tell them why you want it. I used 1 .1mg tab in the morning and afternoon, and took 2 .1mg tabs at night to help me sleep. I also took my BP often and skipped doses if I felt the least bit faint. Hope this helps..

Hey Man,

I really appreciated your advice. I am definitley going to look into Clonidine...
Sub-lingual B I have taken in the past, definitely worth a shot.

I am just glad to know that I am not going through this all alone this time.

Best ...
