Is this normal??? Vicodine withdrawal....

[Lstsoul4275]

Hi all, I am into my third day CT from my 7.5 6-8 a day addiction. My last  dose was 1/2 of one 7.5 Thursday morning. Thursday night and Friday were not easy. Sweating, crying, chills. Sleep seems to be getting less and less. Last night my back started to hurt. Nothing I cannot deal with as of yet. But I don't have any diarrhea, restless leg or stomach cramps. Is this normal? Should I be expecting all of this? I seem to be feeling a little better each day. I did get the Thomas reciepe minus the Valium. Am I over the hump or should I expect more???  I feel like I didn't have as hard as time as most or what I was expecting. I do know I NEVER want to do this **** again!!!!

Apparently my doctor already did! Lol  not a bad thing if I may say so myself! I feel so much better today.  Just hope the shakes, sweats and all else does not return. I am starting to believe I will be ok. Thanks for your encouragement! It's desperate needed :)

Don't build up courage....do it now...don't think...do

[toothfairie]

i also flushed my last 30 pills i had at my house...and let me tell you, if I can do it....you can...i was on Norco about 12+ a day for YEARS....i promise it will be ok!!  

[toothfairie]

i totally agree...cancel the script...just pick up the phone and do it before you start thinking about it....i HAD to cancel my last refill of 120...i KNEW it would be haunting me during WDs.....really, just do it....you will feel SO much better after....you really don't NEED it...like above said, you WANT it...even if not today....it's too much temptation sitting there....just cancel it...you will be so glad you did!!  

[Lstsoul4275]

You both are right. I just need to build the courage to do it.

[ImDONENoMore]

WODAgirl is absolutely correct.  You WILL fill that script if you keep it there.  I promise you that.

[WODAgirl]

I went cold turkey too....I had cravings out the a** yesterday....for the first time....don't find yourself on day 6 getting that thing filled...cancel it....

[WODAgirl]

Cancel it....now.....you don't NEED it...you WANT it.....cancel it...

[ImDONENoMore]

Cancel that script.  NOW.

[Lstsoul4275]

I know I need to cancel it. I'm scared to. Like what if I have to have it??? I honestly don't believe that I will get it. My fear of this situation and my want to be clean is over ruling all at this point. I have some Soma, Flexeril as well as nuerotin all in my bathroom but I refuse to take anything, put any more **** in my body! I know the soma and Flexeril will help me sleep but I just cannot bring myself to take it. When I said CT I meant CT!!! I'm fighting this, I'm praying, I'm crying, and I'm talking to you all and it is amazing how much this forum has helped me!!!!

[WODAgirl]

Nevermind...I'm dumb....I see it now

[WODAgirl]

How far are you in?

[ImDONENoMore]

Cancel that script.  NOW.

I was a long distance runner for 12 years. I loved it. It was my passion. For 3 years now I have lost my passion. I literally will drive by someone running and break down crying. It never occurred to me that the opiates could be the reason I lost my love. I am trying to walk a little. I get exhausted quickly. Getting out if bed is very hard but I am trying. The hot shower does help It's one of the first things I do in the morning if only because I feel so nasty after sweating all night! l haven't told anyone this but I have a refill for my Vicodin that I can pick up on Wednesday. The want to take a pill if only to have energy is almost overwhelming. I KNOW that I cannot!!!!!! I KNOW that everything I am fighting for is on the line, but dear GOD it is hard when the temptation is in your face!! I refuse to let this take me though. And to be honest my fear of getting off is/was worse than the withdrawals themselves. I think that fear alone just may be what helps me kick this awful, awful addiction. It is a horrible place to be. I have been on this site on and off since last September I knew I had a problem but was slow facing it. I have been on this site continuously since last Thursday. Everyone's been so helpful, thank you so much. WODAgirl you are 7 days in?? Wow, I think that is awesome! You make me know I can do this!!! Keep up the great work!

[WODAgirl]

Oxys and Suboxone.....

[WODAgirl]

And just because we are all honest on here....just know we are here for you. But I am on day 7, and my symptoms were the worst yesterday than any other day. I am hoping to even out soon. Exercise has helped...GET UP. Last time I detoxed, I was still feeling it in day 10 because I didn't exercise. I do not have Restless Leg...I have Restless Body Syndrome. In fact, my hands shook so bad yesterday, that I couldn't really type. But, I'M SOBER....this is the goal we have to keep in mind.....PLEASE don't get discouraged. Know that most of the people on this forum have experienced the same thing. Get to know the site. Look at profiles of people and how many days clean they are......and think "I can be there soon if I just keep going". Don't let what you're feeling now get you down. Best advice as to how I have alleviated symptoms.....personally....Imodium (not perfect, but helps), Advil (if needed), vitamin supplement, melatonin. Okay....what has worked wonders for me....getting out of bed....walking, sunlight, and hot hot hot showers. some people say baths, but, when I take a shower, I feel like I'm in a sauna getting all the toxins out. Breathe. Deep breaths. Stay on this forum. It's gotten me through the worst of detox days.

[Lstsoul4275]

WODAgirl can I ask what you have been detoxing from? I have read some of your posts and was just wondering.

[Lstsoul4275]

I'm trying not to worry that something around the corner is going to knock me on my **!  Lol like one morning I wake up and can't leave the bathroom??? I am wondering can I be over the hump?? I really am so ready to start my life new. I am ashamed at what I have done to myself and everyone around me. It's hard to look in the mirror at times. I just want to be clean and happy! I am taking the vitamins and L-tyrosine w B6 it does seem to help. I took a walk w my daughter yesterday not a long one but a walk none the less! It helped w my mood though. Thanks for your replies it helps me feel I am not alone :)

[WODAgirl]

Keep trucking. You're sweating toxins out, getting your emotions back....it's hard, but all good signs.

[selfinduced]

Yes Ma'am, Sounds all biz as usual in the world of w/d's. Everyone's different and every detox seems to vary. You very well may not get the bathroom issues.A friend of mine on here actually got constipated during detox. I was on your exact dose. I never got restless legs, but had a headache that made me wanna .....well, never mind. Each day you'll continue to get better and better with some new twinges here and there. Congrats on stopping this awful cycle in your life. It is so much better pill free. Be sure and take extra care of yourself with nutrition and exercise. It's amazing how that alone will speed up your healing. Keep posting for support. Your doing GREAT!
