Vicodn Addiction If I can do it...so can you

Wow! I can’t believe I've been clean for over 48 hrs! It’s been 54 hrs…and YES, I am counting! I feel like I’m really done this time. I don’t know my heart had enough! I couldn’t be miserable like I was anymore. I finally broke down and told my Dr's family and friends…and I’m sticking to it. I went cold turkey, but I also have Clonidine. I used it last time. It helps! I had a bottle with 45 pills in it and 2 nights ago, I emptied it down the sewer outside. I had to! In the past I was clean for 8 months. It was hard, but I did it! I know what it felt like to actually be genuinely happy, without popping a handful of pills. I have so much to live for. I’m going to go to real NA meetings. I relapsed and I have a problem that’s bigger then me right now. I have to give it my all…otherwise I know I will be cheating myself. I was taking 25 pills a day.  I’m going on…I know…jumping all over! But if you told me 2 weeks ago I’d be doing this and making it through…I wouldn’t have believed it. I pray…and when I do I don’t ask for life to be easy…I ask to be stronger!

Hey, eringobrah,
I started detox off of Norco10/325...which is Vicodin less Tylenol. I started cold turkey and it hasn't been that bad for for. I mean its not great. The first day I ad bad anxiety and cold ,burning skin. I didn't have restless legs. I have severe leg cramps and muscles spasms all the way up to lower back. My back is Killing me and I am taking some amino and an antidepressant. I can't relax or sleep. I detox off the powerful drup in the world which in Fentanyl. Its a 100 x stromger than morphine and 50% stronger than herion. The first 2days I wa fine and then all hell broke lose. I woke up the 3 day and fely like I had the flu times 1,000 and was in non -stop excruciating pain for 4 days straight. I was to doe and felt like I was going to die. I have fever, buring skin.everything smelled and tasted bad for 10 days.I didn't sleep for 2  weeks and thought I was ofing to lose my mind...well I did. I tried everything and nothing work. I went to the ER and I had totake a bunch to sleep 3 hours and then I started sleeping alil longer. I was and so scared about the anorco w/d b/c of how bad the fentantl w/d. Since I feel better on my 3rd do ya'll think it eillget better or worse. Im stared!!!!! Help!!!!!! Thanks,Shell
