hey all, i checked in at day 4 and everyone told me that day 4 was the worst well here i am at day 6 and im not getting better im getting worse... the withdrawls from vicodin has completely overtaken my life i was addicted with no breaks for almost 5 years at the peak taking 20 - 30 a day.. toward the last 6 months down to 10 max a day.. im fearing that i may have to got the doctors if this dont get any better. my vision is blurry i cant focus on anything im aching like i just got beat up real bad. i can barely eat i just have no appetite... now my bf went and got me some somas so i can at least sleep i only have to take one but im afraid i might develope a coexisting dependency for a sleep aid im 23 years old female about 118 lbs. i look like im all strung out im afraid to leave the house for people to see me.. if anyone has shared a similar experience please tell me if and when i might start to feel better or if i should seek help from a doctor, i would like to not have on record that im an addict...

Hey...the worst for me was days 4-6. I felt the same like i was not getting any better. I too am 120lbs and looked like death, but i'm a wee bit older; 43. It turns out that I did have a sinus infection on top of the w/d. I didn't mention when i went however that I had been in the throws of w/d.
Are you drinking gatorade? taking hot baths? Advil ehlps a lot too. I took klonopin on days 4, 5 and 6 at night to sleep, then stopped promptly. Hoep ou feel better soon, kiddo.

Perhaps you should seek the advice of a Doctor...and would it be so bad to be labeled??  It's what you are, right...an addict??  The only reason I am clean today is because everyone knows now...they know what to look for...I don't have friends or a dr. to go to.  Even though it feels wierd, letting people into your secrets is actually setting you free.

Everyone is different...but 20-30 is quit a bit of Hydro...just keep fighting...you are seriously not far from feeling good.  For me...even though the physical was gone in 5-7 days...it took 2 full weeks to get past the mental.  You can do this...please don't waste the past 6 days!!

You can do this...take a walk...listen to music...fight like hell.

We are here for you!!
