My god.

I am in a mess here. Started taking pain medication for legit pain. Now if I dont have them I cant think straight. My stomache hurts.. I wake up in a complete panic at the thought of getting through the day. Im a mother..and a disgrace. My father was an addict..clean for many years. He died of cancer a few months ago..i would do anything to have him here to help me as he would know exactly how I feel.Nobody knows of my troubles. I am suffering in silence..and bad. First day with no vicodin today. Im freezing and aching for my Dad even more..i was taking about 5  7.5.a day.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. Has anyone taken Hylands and it helped. The restless legs are luke torture to me. They are the main reason I get a refill.. Im sorry im just being honest . The restless feeling is the absolute worst :(

Yes...Hylands helps. It's the quinine in it. Take as directed. Also for RLS, get some potassium/magnesium tablets. Eat bananas and drink apple juice. Epsom salt in a hot bath. It has magnesium in it which is what your muscles need right now. It works quite well!

Try all these things and they'll work. I hope this will keep you away from a refill. Be sure to drink extra fluids. Gatorade is the best along with water. Don't let yourself get dehydrated!

Keep posting!
