oh my god!

Hey everyone! I know its been a while. Sorry everyone! Well...all is well, I just am freaking out! Its been about 20 days now, clean! And I am having a backslide! I still have no access to meds, so I haven't slipped, but my body feels like crap again...achy, bitchy, hot flashes, diarreah, I feel awful! I keep thinking. "One wont kill me, or set me back too far!" But, I know that is not true, and my boyfriend will have nothing to do with that! I just need to know how long this will last! I got some colodine but didn't work...I need some help!

Hey tram
I've been on lortab 7.5 3 X daily....(for about 11 years) for awhile, I was doing maybe 6 a day, maybe ten, but sharing with the boyfriend, we would run out, or get low...so for about the past year, it has been no more than 3 a day, mostly 2 1/2...so it seems weird to still be feeling so crappy....is it?

Good!  I think you have a virus and will be better soon!  It's not WDs.  Unless you were on methadone or something long acting!

It IS entirely possible that you have a bug!!!  ImDONE could be right.  BUT.....could be nothing whatsoever to do with WDs or with addiction.  

Go to a meeting!  Get a sponsor.  Or do some kind of aftercare.  You can't keep looking for a "fix it pill" or you will end up in a very bad situation again!  There is no such pill anyway. Just looking out for ya.  Try exercise and aftercare!  I promise it helps.

Try the hot showers for tonight - that will help with the anxiety more than anything else.  And valerian root can help with anxiety too.  Also, certain foods can help calm you so try a glass of milk and toast with peanut butter - these foods help promote sleep which in turn will help to calm your nerves as well.  And just think, by midnight you'll have another day under your belt and that means one day closer to feeling better you'll see.:)

Yeah...it is a mental thing...please don't take this the wrong way...cause I've read a ton of these forums...but is there anything my doctor can give me. .....NOTHING NARCOTIC...and I've read horror stories about ultram and tramadol...but anything to help...I do have a goal..I am trying to get a job overseas, and I want to be clean and healthy....the pain and being so uncomfortable brings me to tears and to my knees! And then I look at my sweet man,who is home with a 5 mm kindney stone, ready to hit the chute,and he is so comitted to his sobriety, he wont even take anything for his pain! So who am I to complain?

Clonidine? I don't know if you are aware but that is a bp medication to be used during the detox phase, like the first 4 or 5 days...only. So, I am not surprised it didn't work.

You have heard some members here talk about aftercare and how it works to help stay clean. this is a good example. This mental battle you are going through will get you using faster than any physical symptom ever will. It is your mind telling you that you are sick and one will fix it.It won't fix it.

You are "stuck" right now and you need to begin healing your mind. Would you agree?

Well you're going to hate this answer - but it's NORMAL.  SO freaking normal.  I too thought in the beginning that the symptoms, as they subsided, would be gone for good - but nope - didn't happen like that for me either.  So not sure if that helps but just want to tell you that I went through the same thing.  And you are right - you have come TOO FAR to go back now.  So continue to stay strong and trust that this is just part of the process and it will get better.  A LOT better I promise you!!

And CONGRATULATIONS on the 20 days!!!  Well done.  :)
