Thanks...I Need Some Help!

[peande]

Hi, i have been on vicdion 5/500mg, 10 or 12 aday, for 13 years, i am so finish with taking these pills, i had to have a ultra sound done,and a microscope placed down my thorth last week, and i am a ok..liver is great, everything was great, but i can't live like this any longer, this is my 1st day of being off vicdon, and i am scared, of the W/D'S, i am lucky in one way, i own my own shop,and i can take off for as long as i want, plus i have no children, [just a hubby], anyway these pills are my life, i would freak out when i was running low, hoping my dr would fill them, i have lived for 13 years with my life surrounded by a PILL..and it's awful, the sad thing is this, my dr would ok 120 pills like every 10 days for me, i mean he should be looking at my file, to know when he lasted filled them, i could call now, and he would ok them..but i am [not] going to do it, i went as far as to tell the phamacey if any pain pills are called in for me..don't fill them, now back to what to do, how long will i be sick from this, i feel like living in the hot tub for a week, but i know that could hurt me..but when you get all crazy feeling you will do anything to stop the pain, thanks to anyone that responds, i really need to feel i am not alone in this,cuz my family thinks i can just stop,and the next day go out and have a good ole fun day, they don't understand, i feel like i don't have any blood in my body, and i know within a day..the hard pain is on it's way..thanks again

this is my 3rd day, of being off the way to much aday of vicdon for 13 years, i still feel ok, i  haven't had any wd's..don't get me wrong, i am so happy about this, i asked my hubby is this normal, he said i could start having them later,why??? i don't understand that, i would think if it's been 3 days..i would of had wd's..all i know is, i am NEVER going back on that drug, i have a dentist appt coming up, he is cutting out my wisdom teeth, doing in-plants, and placing caps on all my upper teeth, but i am telling him, don't give me any pain meds, i can get through my mouth being sore, i am staying away from vicdon, i know the lordwanted me off it, caught i would tell my husband, i wasn't taken it, and he would find out, by werid things, one time my sweet doggie, had a recipt in her mouth, it was for the vicdon i got, now that was werid, he would find bottles i had hidden, i am still scared of wd's but i don't have them, and i hope i don't get them,thanks to everyone here.

[peande]

ok, it's been about 53 hours...and i have a bad headache, but i am not that sore, i can fuction pretty good, is this normal????..to seem ok??, if i had no wd's in 53 hours..are they to come?..i am freaking out a little, onething i did do, i have a new dr..not the one that gives me vicdon, this dr knows better..anyway he did call in a RX for RLS..for me, he said it was [not] a narcoic, and the pharmacy told me the same....i think this is what is helping me..i have had RLS sense i was 12 years old..i was hit by a car..and he mushed my knees into another car, has anyone been off vicdon for 53 hours with no wd's..then they came later..thanks so much.

Hello and welcome
There are a lot of great people on this site.
It's what me thru WD from Oxy 30mg CR 2 daily and Hydro ( norco) 10/325  
6-8 a day stright for 3 years and on and off for 10 years give or take.
I too have RLS and that was the worse for me. But everyone is different.
A hot tub is wonderful. I went thru WD on the road with my truck driver husband so he couldn't get away from me. LOL
No he was awsome thru it.
Larrry is right if you husband is willing he can help you a lot, but that's up to you.
You have alot of great info above and so far your sounding good.
Only thing I can add is I did drink a ton of Gator Aid and VitaWater (revive) and nutrition drinks and ate sooo many bananas so thought I was gonna turn into a banana tree... LOL
If you need someone to talk to I keep crazy hours out here on the road so feel free to hit me up.
Congrats again, you will feel so much better, I know I do.

Peace Out
Lesa

Hello and welcome to the forum,
That showed great strength to tell the pharmacy not to let you get the pills.  You have the right atittude already so run with it.  Getting in the hot tub would be one of the best things you can do to help you through the physical part of the w/ds.  I went through w/ds at the smokey mountains once and I spent 5 days in the hot tub jumping in as soon as I got up and staying there most of the day :)
You will find a lot of support and advice on here from people from all over the world and different walks of like.  You don't have to do it alone and please come back to let us know how you are doing.  Is it an option fo you to go into treatment?  I don't know that your enabling dr would help you with this but you can check with him and hopefully he/she might.
I often w/d isolated from my wife but if you allow him to help, he can run baths for you and encourage you while you go through this.  Either way, welcome to the forum and keep coming back for support from those who have been doing this for a long time and knowledge from people who are just starting off because treatment for this keeps changing and resources for w/ds along with new coping skills are changing as well.  We can help you through the physical part and when that is over assist you with getting your mind back at ease once those are over.
