Loritab Withdrawals

I am on day 2 of withdrawals from Loritab 7.5. Have been taking it on & off for about year. In between I took Tylox & Stadol. I am Bipolar II and take Neurotin 1800mg, Effexor 150mg, Ambien 10mg & Allegra 180mg. I can't take anyy stimulants, even Centrum Performance viatmins. I also have terrible migranes. I normally take Imitrex or Maxalt. I had a DHE injection yesterday for the headache. My skin started crawling immediately and had to take a Xanax to calm down.  Still a little agitated today.  What kind of withdrawal symtoms, other than headaches, can I expect?

I have been here, but In Nov and Dec I was off work.

Back to life, back to reality!

I have been reading mosts posts here most days and posting as much as I can. So many new people, so much pain. I wish I could take it all on me, and magically free every single person everywhere of this scourge!

We will have to give that job over to the Lord though. How are you feeling these days? I thank you again for your help in my early days, and for lately as well.

Still battling the anxiety depression thing that pops up out of the blue, but God must be training me up for something, so it's all good, even though I hate it beyond description when it hits me.

God Bless you...

bungee, ya the 1st week is a killer, the uncomfortable
nights were the worst for me. i think i set a record that week for flipping over in my bed at night flipping and flopping up and down, in the tub out of the tub , back into the tub.
one night i was thinking of juast staying in the tub and reading all night, but i came to my senses and realized it was just crazy thinking,
i know you will be feeling better soon. you are through most of the hard stuff.

I got alot of toothaches too. Try some Advil try 2 first no, Anthony, 4 is not necessarily better, try 2 first  :0)
Believe it or not Advil works wonders. So does ambesol. I'm so proud of you, you will never know how much!

If possible, I would take tommorrow off too - that will be a critical day for you - day 5.

You should be putting all of your attention into yourself for the next two days. Added pressure will risk your detox.

Just my experience - put off everything you can for the next two days!

Good luck,

Rex

Today is day 4 of no hydrocodone. Last night was awful, I felt so uncomfortable, but the valium and tylenol PM helped me sleep. Today I'm feeling OK, very slugish and fatigued though. The night time is the worst as far as cravings and physical pain go. And on top of everything else, I have the worst toothache. I'm getting through this and will be returning to work tommorrow(a day earlier than planned). I guess tommorrow will be the real test, if I can keep from using or not. I may go to an NA meeting tonight...if not I will go to the one down the street from my house on Thursday night.
