When will the withdrawl pains stop?

[Lookingatmyfuture]

Ive been taking 1000mg of loretabs prescribed by my doctor for roughly over a year for nerve damage stemming from my back to my legs.I am a drummer and im afraid I cant perform without taking painkillers but its became I problem and I just want my life back.im on day 1 1/2 of trying to stop cold turkey and im in agony.most of my pain is in my legs and absolutely cant sleep...im just in such pain.it seems every minute its getting worse.how long will these withdrawls last?

The Immodium will help you plus the Hyland's Restfull Legs. If you have some vitamins withe magnesium in them, take two!

You're well into the second day so it's almost over as far as the terrible feeling goes. Try to hang on.

thank you for the kind words and the insight.i too will pray for your health and recovery.right now I feel if someone would just break my legs id get some relief from these cramps and restlessness.besides the not sleeping thats been the hardest part for me.im proud of you for going this far and in seeing that i know somehow ill make it too.

what kind of surgery did you just have, if u dont mind me asking.  You can do this i am way older than you and yes, sometimes we all feel like giving up, cause it is so brutal on our bodies and minds, but your gonna make just like all of us are. I ask my husb everyday if i have lost my mind lol  hang in there

I havent had immodium yet,i just cant bring myself to get out of my slumber other than to take extremely hot showers or baths.im on my 3rd 32oz bottle of water because it seems thats the only thing i can keep down.ive read about this tapering thing but im afraid 1 or 2 will lead to 7 or 8,then so on.this is absolutely brutal.ive tried the exercise thing lastnight and tried to stay preoccupied but it didnt last very long.at this point im feeling quite hopeless.i dont want to give in but sheesh at some point it has to get easier.

i also have been on the same dose of lortabs as you for about 2 yrs.  i quit cold turkey march 21st or so.  I am having terrible w/ds.  I have alot of anxiety,muscle tension, and cannot be still. my dr. gave me some adivan, for the anxiety, but it is also addicting so  what do you do,pray to god, i just thought i would give you some insight as to what ive been experiencing,hang tight buddy, try to be around some support for you. I will pray for you, remember as hard as this might be  This to shall Pass. take care of yourself, and try to eat, and keep the fluids going in.
