day one lortab detox

I took my last lortab last night around 10pm. I was a little sore and achy this morning, but I have a little detox stash to help with the withdrawl. I took a soma to to help and it is working great. Much to my surprize, I actually feel okay. The other times I detoxed were horrible. Maybe its because I have my mind made up this time. I am going to an NA meeting tonite at 7 oclock. I may feel like **** tomorrow, but I am just gonna take it one day at a time.

ive been sober from alcohol and cocaine for 8 yrs and very active in AA, but 2 yrs ago after playing lots of tennis tournaments i developed shoulder pain and needed pain meds such as Tramadol to ease the pain, well, the addict in me started to take more than prescribed and then started taking Loritabs afterwards..a total of 8 tramadol a day and 3-4 Loritabs..it's just getting to be more of a headache to have to take a loritab and 3 tramadols just to get going in the morning...should I go into detox for this?..also does anyone know how long detox would be??  i tried tapering and dammit i just cant discipline myself off of it...help!! please

Hi, I am new to this. I am an army wife, I have 1 yo twins, 4 yo daughter.  Severe migraines, bad sciatic nerve, and a torn ligament in my knee, oh.. and moving to Europe to be with my husband. I am also addicted to Lortabs.  I have taken anywhere from 5-7/ day for approximately 5 yrs.  It's hard to quit because I've had 3-4 actual migraines a week.  They help me function.  But I don't like the way I feel when I go 2 hours without 1.  I have a VERY low tolerance for pain and I don't know if there is anything out there that will help the pain without going with something stronger.  I don't like taking them, but I don't want to have a day where I can't even pick up my children.  Can someone please help me?  I don't know what to do.

I'm very addicted to loratabs, Ive been taking. 2-4 10mg a day for over 2yrs. I want to stop. I have 4 left. What do I do to make the detox as painless as possible and stay off of them ?
Any advise. Food? Vitamins. ....Its destroying my life. I so get the fact that I think I have to take a pill to have fun or be happy of just function.

where do you get suboxone?   is this something you take if you are quitting cold turkey or if you are trying to slowly come off lortab?
