It's been 11 1/2 hours since my last 1/4

And surprisingly I feel good. I took my vitamins this morning, I do have back pain and no energy until the vitamins kick in but mentally I feel accomplished!! I used to wake up in the night to take another 1/4. Not last night! I bought the hylands restful legs hopefully it will work if I get RLS, Im sure it's not completely out of my system yet but I still feel better. But my body can't handle a lot of the L-Tyrosine:-/ I can only take 1 350mg. I took 2 yesterday n it really gave me the jitters. Will my wds be worse then this right now? I don't know how long 1/4 of a hydrocodone will last in your system!

I would honestly have the drawn out WDS that I can tolerate some, then horrid ones that I don't want to be to short with the baby.

I gave in and took a 1/4. I lasted 14 hours. But I can't handle the weakness and irritability with a teething baby. I just can't;( I will cut my dosage down to hopefully 1/2 less a day and then jump off and Sunday night will be my last one. I will need the full 5 days before my bf comes home and this week I have 3 appt to go to for my baby and others that I cannot reschedule:( this feeling is the worse and I feel like death, who knew a pill could make you this way if not taken. Blah. But Im not giving up nor will I get anymore. Sunday is it. I also have to get a few more things off the Thomas recipe and since it is a blizzard outside I will go tomorrow when I have my appt. and also get imodium.

I'm not too familiar with you journey but I could never taper and when I c/t I knew it was the only way out of the addiction for me. I agree you are prolonging the withdrawal. keep posting and try and prepare to stop completely try and stock up on everything in the Thomas Recipe it worked for me.
You're in my prayers, Sharon

Ros - once you stop completely and you are probably just prolonging this as I'm not sure how much good 1/4 pill is doing except keeping you from just getting through withdrawal - as long as you keep taking that 1/4 you won't really go into full withdrawal.  I say time to jump and just get this outta the way - you'll feel pretty crappy for about 3 days, on the 3rd day of no pill FORCE yourself up and walk a little, no matter how much you don't want to get up and moving.  by this time next week the withdrawal will be over and you can start moving ahead!

You know I'm pulling for you!
