Im finaly quitting the hydro's

Im done today. I have been taking hydro's for about 6 years now. I am up to taking 12-15 7.5 a day. Before I came to college it was easy to stay on them cause my grandma and grandpa and mom were all on them and they would help me out when I ran out. But now that im an hour away from them and my grandma passed away I am having a hard time keeping enough around to support my addiction. I have a wonderful girl now and a baby on the way (March 31st) and I am tired of hunting 20 days or more out of the month for a ******* pill. Its just not worth it anymore. I have to start saving money for the baby. My g/f went to the store to get me the thomas recipe. Im starting it soon as she gets back. I have went through about 4 days of W/D at the most but never more then that so im pretty sure i'll be chatting away here in about 4 days. I hope yall can help. I havnt taking any hydros at all today. I'm just achy at the moment but I know its coming.

I never had the restless legs thing because I used clonidine. The sleep thing does get better. If you can sleep during the day..naps..etc, do it. Any sleep is good sleep. Many are afraid to sleep in the day because it might affect night sleep. Maybe, maybe not, but sleep is good...anytime.

hey buddy, why aren't you drinking tons of fluids??  to hydrate yourself?

as for the RLS.. everyone is different.  i never had it, while some had it for weeks.  eat banana's, get a script for it if you have to, etc.  there are ways to help the RLS.
