Need Advice Asap PLEASE

[faithinjesus875]

I have been taking 10mg lortab for the past 6 years. I have tried to taper off several different times and I get down to 1 a day and then never quit and start back taking 8 a day. I want to just go cold turkey. I want to wake up in the morning and never take one again. Is this safe? That is the main thing I am concerned with is my health. I dont want to hurt myself. What will I go through and can I do this at home by myself? I have the next 4 days off and I want to do it then. Thanks and please help:)). Much love:)

You're more than welcome! For me the chills were only at night. I had them really bad and would sweat really bad. It felt like I had the flu with a really bad fever. That only lasted for a couple of days though.

your brave to go through this on the road in a truck! thats amazing! Did you have really bad chills? Mine are so bad. Bad part is that I havent even began for real. Thanks for talking to me it helps. I know I can do this. Thanks:)

Yes, take that immodium! Keep the tummy under control or you very well may end up on the pot all day!! Everyone's different, but I felt better after 3 days. It was like at the end of the 3rd day a calm came over me. It's been getting better and better since then. And remember I did this in a semi truck, so no bathtub to soak in, no getting out to move around and walk for 11 hours straight, no potty available upon demand! It was very rough and I thought I was going to die a couple of times, but I made it through just fine, Don't let me scare you either. You will not be praying for death like I was. It was more a situational thing than a withdrawl thing. Post those symptoms and talk to us as much as you need to. It helps a lot. I am here for you. Feel free to PM me if you need to talk or have questions. ---Angela
