Hi this is very hard to do. I am sick as a dog and can't stand it anymore. I have been taking lortab for a year. I am day 3 of this torment.  Been trying the home remedies but nothing makes me feel ok. Was so dehydrated I went to the ER last night and got some fluids put in me. Oh yeah and some demerol and toradol for the migraine I had developed. I felt good for about 2 hours then the drugs wore off. I tried to eat but it just stuck in my mouth very hard to swallow food. Gator aid goes down better.
I have scripts but too soon to fill them. Guess whos fault that is. Mine of course. I have fibromyalgia. it hurts so bad but honestly not as much as this withdrawal does. this is so sick . I take lortab 10 twice a day except when I am really bad then I take 3 in 24 hour period. I thought I was safe because  I dont take handfulls of pills.
My question is when does it stop.

If you don't have the strength to cancel it. don't pick it up yet.  Let yourself feel better first.  You are almost out of the woods.  If you pick it up and take them you will have to go through this all over again when you run out the next time.  You will just become more and more emotionally drained each time you have to go through this hell.
This is about my 5th time doing this so I know how hard it gets.  Think long and hard before you get that script.
Hugs

There are several here that are in the medical profession in one way or another and they are just like the rest of us.  Doctors don't always have all of the answers.  My doc thought she was helping me with my severe back pain and for awhile she was.  But, at the end I told her what was going on and she helped me get back on my feet.  

Telling her was the HARDEST thing I have ever done.  But, by doing so I cut off my drug source.  

Keep coming here to garner support and strength.  I promise it helps...it sure helped me!

Is there anyone else that you can have do it?? Your husband? A friend? Trust me honey, IMO if your not strong enough to cancel an rx, then there is no way your going to not be able to get them filled and take them! Somehow, Someway, you need to cancel that rx!

  I know I am not strong enough. I am feeling really bad again.  I don't think I have what it takes to cancel the scripts.
