like all of you i am looking fwd to the day of non-lortab use, on my 2nd day of 2.5mg after a week of 20mg every day, and it is h--l!!! which is not much but since i have done pills for so many years, i just feel so lost, all i want to do is hibernate and cry. i am trying to do this alone, small steps i am taking and tomorrow is the day of no lortab, which do not know why i even take the 2.5, anyway does nothing,just  all in the mind.tks 2 all of u who post, for i do not feel alone or think i am "losing"  it. a bad day for me, just needed 2 "vent", helps 2 get it out. trying to hang in here man tis "tough" good luck and prayers to all of us for we /i need them.

This is my first time on. I have been in w/d for about two weeks now. I had to reduce my meds everyday until i was out. W/D was very very bad. My friend turned me on to this websit. Thank God!!!! It really helped alot to know i was not the only one with this problem. I have been junked up on lortabs(10-15)a day and Soma (10-15) aday and xanax about the some for about 4 years, I finally came to a point in my life that I had to get off them. No thanks to my doctor who prescribed all this **** to me.Then justleft me to hang out to dry. I have gone cold turkey for about a week now. I still won't drive I am still in a fog my eyes are still unfocused and still a little shakey on my feet but feeling better today. I just had to thank all the people going through the same thing out there and had the guts to get help. I am looking forward to getting my life back from the world of addiction. Too many lost days that i can't even remember.Good luck to all of you trying to get clean i will continue to read your posts it really helps alot. Keep God close it will help more than you know.

post as much as you want!! it helps me too, it helps me soo much to be able to post to other people who understand. my head is a little clear now and it fells good, but i remember what they say when you forget the pain and how hard it was to quit, you could use again, this did happen to me about one year ago, it is true.
