Hydrocodone Withdrawal and Detox

[MACCKT902]

Ok, I've posted on here before but here I am again fighting this demon for one more go 'round.  :(  I just need some advice as quickly as possible.  Ok, I have been taking them for going on 10 years and they became just a habit, even a necessity to live if that makes sense.  I used to spend every single penny on them when we weren't getting our two scripts each month just to get us by.  By we I mean my wife and I.  She was getting 90 10/325 Norco's yellow and 120 10/500 Hydrocodone Blue.  Well, lets just say our little addiction spiraled out of control and through methods I won't devulge, we were getting 120 of them about every day or every other day at the least.  Well, Mr. Trouble came knocking and that supply was stopped abruptly.  Soo, being kind of smart about it, I had a few left and started the process of tapering.  I didn't do it the way everyone suggests because I didn't have nearly enough for that but I did kind of quickly reduce my intake everyday or every other day stepping down.  All of this has been in the last two to three weeks but I had it down to taking a half of a 10 twice a day and I didn't feel great but I didn't have withdrawals. Well I got down to my last half and didn't take it.  I took my last half this past Sunday morning and by that night was feeling BAD!  So Monday rolls around and I sit with the anxious, about to have a heart attack feeling all day and finally on tuesday I took the other half at around noon.  My questions is, since Tuesday I have gotten what seems like a cold, sinus infection, flu and strep throat all at once and I have to start a job Monday. I can only get two but I'm wondering would it mess me up to get those and take a 1/4 twice a day and then when those are gone stop for good?  I think I just stopped too quickly and I feel like I am F'ing dying!!!  Someone let me know what you think because this is torture!!!  Thanks!

Haha.  I'm pretty sure that made him laugh :)  At least smile a little bit!!!   The plane flights I've taken before were to China and omg there was absolutely no room!!  

And you know those brochures you flight attendants hand out and people buy things at ridiculous prices.  That person was me. I bought a $10 pen (it lights up in different colors!!)  and now it doesn't even work.  Actually stopped working about a week after I got home.  Worst purchase ever!

im very proud of you for turning down the 2...i know how hard that was. the last time i quit i was clean and sober for 7 months and it was only 1 pill that started it all again and now im back to my 8 30's a day plus the vikes inbetween and a suboxine on the "off days". that was a really big step. and if you can turn down those 2 feeling the way you are right now you can def. turn them down in the future

You wouldn't BELIEVE where those pillows have been...

Yes...the customer is always right...in a perfect world.  

May I offer you a blanket...for $4.00?   And no...that's the rental fee...you can't keep it!

You want to get up to use the restroom?  I'm sorry but you'll be in our way. Do you see the little bags in the pocket of the seat in front of you?  They're handy...

Thank you for flying with us...and have a lovely stay at your final destination...if you can make it to your gate on time!
