PLEASE KEEP IT UP!  You dont have that much longer!  I promise!  I am on day 6 off from 4 years of lortab 10s.   Today is the first day i have been able to eat, and still feel alittle week, probably from not eating, but other than that i feel amazing!!!  I am so excited to start my new life and you will be to.  it is sooo worth it...just another day or so...I will all be over soon.  Just remember you never want to go through this again...and that is what i told myself the whole time.  And what i will remind myself the whole time!
Hang in there...i want to hear hwo much better you feel in a couple days!

You said your cataprass patch is 1mg?  I am sure it is different then the pills, but my pills were 0.1mg.. Do you have a blood pressure machine?  if they are making your blood pressure to low, that can be a problem..
Try to eat, or drink some ensure...hang in there

i started taking percocet 5- 3 years ago ,then in went into oxycodone 30 mg for the last year and a half. i tired to wash clothes today and almost passed out !!! dont know if it from not eating or from this catapress patch.

found your post!! please hang in there, i promise you it will soon start to ease, like the others said i also found day 4 awful, it took all my strength to get through the day.  try keeping busy, music, books a good film maybe.  as for being unable to eat, i didnt have that problem, i ate everthing i could get my hands on!!! your appietie will return, just make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids you need to keep hydrated.  keep posting, it really helped me, reading all the posts of people who have come through it, it helped spur me on knowing there is life on the other side. hugs emma xxx

Ensure is also good.

Sorry, your OP was right there and I didn't see it.

"how much longer will i be able to eat?"

Do you mean unable to eat?

There are some products that endurance athletes use that are a complete food in liquid form, and are easier to get down than solid food when your body is stressed.  Clip2 and Perpetuem are two that I would recommend, and you could get them in a running store or bike shop, or over the internet.  Gatorade is more easily available, and will supply some carbs and electrolytes.

whats ur dose?  i mean before u quit?  I was at 100 mgs a day and it took 4-5 days for me to come out of the physical part..day 4 is usually the worst for most..but we r all different...so tomorrow will be a better day..hang in there! u can do this..do not turn back now..this stuff dont get no better..only worse..u have come too far to turn back now..keep moving forward..can u go to a meeting tonight?

Day 3 and 4 were my worst days...I was taking up to 20, 10mg of lortabs a day...You are Almost there ..Don't give in please...Try to keep your mind busy, I know it is hard.., read as much as you can...you are so close!!
One day I wrote down how much money i had spent in my 3 yrs of addiction, and i was sick to my stomach...I promise you that helped me to not want to go back there!!  
Try to drink alot of fluids, that will help so much..I had to force myself to eat, but you will be amazed how that will also help...I am here if you need!!  hang in there, god bless
