how long does no sleep last

Hi all I have been reading the forams the last couple of days not thinking I had a problem well I see now that I do, Little background, My husband gets 90 per 10 each month for his back and 150 50 mg ultrum , when he would get them I would take them also, we have 2 boys 1 has cp cant walk so I have to pick him up and down to move him, so I would take my husbands meds to ease the back pain this has been going on for about 4 months now, I started noticeing when we was out of them I was real moody sick all the time no energy, It would last a week or so well then it would be time to refill his script and back to the same cycle, I didnot realize till this week that i was going through w/d. At one time we were addicted to cocain, And i didnt have w/d from that,So surly i didnt think Iwas addicted to pain pill,boy was I wrong He kept telling me I was addicted and I would turn it around on him and tell him he was the one addicted,we became so hateful to each other but once we got the pills everything was good again. I have made it now 5 days now,  I think I am through the worst of it still have a little stomach cramps in the am, I have more energy now the only thing is I still cant sleep and if I do its only for a couple hours at a time. We have both decided no more I cant go through this again, this ***** plus my boys need me, I know now I am alot happier now, I think about takeing a pain pill and it makes me sick knowing what happens after there are no more.
Thanks for letting me share
Rhonda
