Hi. I am a 52 year old male.I started using Lortabs on and off about 6 years ago after arm surgery and three shoulder surgerys.
I have been taken 3 10mg tablets per day for the last 2 years because of back pain.
I realize this isn't a lot compared to some folks but I don't like what they are doing to me. I will not keep taking these.
I took my last pill 21 hours ago. My head is swimmy and I am emotional. Kinda feel like I have the flu.
What can I expect in the next week ? When will the withdrawal syptoms go away ?
Can I do this ? Would some one help me ?
I am working 12 hour shifts at a factory while doing this.
I have three collage age kids to care for.
My wife left home three days before Christmas after 30 years of marriage.
I am broke.
And I must move in 30 days.
I'm trying to hold all this together.
I do trust and depend on God. Aways have always will.
Thank you all. Please help me.

Hey wana-no you didn't offend anyone. It's pretty slow on the weekends. However,keep checking your post throughout the day. You'll see more friends reply to your post... Anyways, what's up? How are you feeling? Congrats on a week!!! Soo awesome. You're still in early detox so it's normal to feel like your " back peddling" I had that. For example, day 3 and 4were " okay" but, day 5 and 6 were my worst day. So, it's normal to feel like you take one sep forward and 2 steps back. Just go with it. It's Parton the process. Be patient. Their is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm 4 months clean and I feel amazing. You are in my prayers. P.s. do you have any pills left around your house?

7 days today with out a Lortab !

But what happened ? Last night was awful ! All the W/Ds came back.
I am still shaky ans anxious. Body jerking and needing to move.

I thought I was past most of that. When will it end.

How come everyone stopped commenting. Did I do something to offend you?
I'm sorry. I need you.

I miss counted ! It's only been 96 hours !

I am very anxious and restless. Still can't sleep.

Anxiety may be because I haven't seen my wife in four weeks. She left home and never returned. We have been married 30 years.
And I have to find a new place to live and move.
And I am almost broke.
And I am going to have to ask my daughter to quit collage cause I can no longer pay for it.
And I stopped taking Lortab during all this.
But mostly I miss and worry about my precious wife.
Please pray for her. And for me.

Thanks everyone.
I am doing better. I have anxiety and restlessness and still can't sleep well.
And a headache. But overall I feel a lot better.
I think I am going to make it.
Don't stop with the prayers and encouragement. Without you guys I would have given up on the first day! Thank you all so much. I pray for you all.
129 hours (5 days 9 hrs) without Lortab.
