Hydrocodone addiction

My story is very simple two years ago I broke my back, did not have insurance for doctor or surgery so I started buying Lortab 10's off the street to deal with the pain.  I have been on them now for 10 months taking 3-4 per day.  Yesterday was day 1 for me, today is day 2. My question is what can I expect on day 3?  I have to work so I have no options.  I feel terrible.

Any advice?

Yes...hang in!  You can do it.  Do you have a heating pad?  Also, you may need some immodium if you are going to work!  And hot baths or showers feel so good for the aching and freezing cold feeling.  

Try to resist the urge to take something over the counter for sleep.  It can actually make WDs worse.  

You should not feel any worse than you do now, but it will take a couple more days to feel better.  Good luck!

you are going to feel cr appy a few more days the first 5 days tend to be the worst then things slowly get better .If you look at the right hand column you will see something called the amino acid protocol .It has supplements that will help your mind and  body heal.
Hang in there ..
