i am very nervous about being in here..but i am 27 and i have 2 small kids.i had a teeth desiese that caused alot of pain and for almost 2 years i was on 750 of vicodin and percocet and i had my mouth taken care of but i found my self wanting and getting more vicodin and percocet and tylenol 3 i want to quit becuase of my kids but i feel like i will flip out and take it out on them.my husband has no clue only my friend and she is not able to help me go through this.i am on day 1and i have not had anything in almost 24 hours.I did have to take a 1/2 of xanax that i have been prescribed for the past 1 year and that helped calmed the edgy and mood down...what can i do .i only took 2 pills a day i usually took 1/2 in the am then 1/2 after lunch and then 1/2 about 2-3pm and then  the other 1/2 later.i did not think i was addicited because i was off them for 2 weeks before and never had a problem but then after i ran out i discovered i was asking friends if they had any.and now i dont know..my legs hurt i am moody and all...please

I cant believe I did it...i hit day 22 yesterday and I found a pill 7.5 lortab and I held on to it and then yesterday I took it.It made me so mad that i did take it and regreted every second of it.I did not feel a thing though...i think it may have been expired..so i wake up this morning on day 23 and feel good and dont want nothing.I hated myself so bad for taking that 1 that i have no desire for anything now.I feel like a failure.But now i know just because i had a bad day(car broke down,kids acting up,husband being a jerk,and everything else)the pill did not help at all so i am back on track...I did so good for 22 days and caved with 1 expired pill that did nothing whats so ever!! today i am going tanning and going shopping and then come home clean my house and go to my sons baseball game...no more darn pills....i thought i would feel better taking it because the day was so rough that taking that darn pill made it worse............
UGH!!!
i am back though and i have no more pills and i am not caving ever again!i did this for 22 days and i can do it alot longer and for good...atleast until the dentist yanks these other teeth out which i dread because i do not want to be on pills...
everyone is talking about not having energy you may not like this or how it tastes or anything but energy drinks (sold at walmart and anywhere)the best one is Monster in the green.i get tons of energy and i dont crash later in the day.it really helps to get you up and going and get busy so you dont worry about anything.
I hope i did not discourage anyone because i was doing so good...but with your help it will never happen again and i did not even enjoy the pill...it only pis**d me off...

Flush it...one pill is not gonna help anything and mentally it is the pits to give in and cave like that..it will take a couple of days to get over the depression you will feel for caving..flush it

Congrads on your soberiety. I too am on day 8 and expierenced exactly what you did. Just when you think its over it comes back up on ya. Just one day at a time. The depression and anxiety are the worst portion now. I never had much issue with the pain related or stomach, it was all there but didnt bother me. The rls and sleepnees did though. I cold turkeyed about 120mg oc...least that was my last dose 8 days ago but i wasnt an everyday user until 3 weeks ago and thats when i put the breaks on this quickly. I played with these for pain and rec for 10 years and been on off them years at a time. This time however it finally caught me, im as strong as the get and it caught me as well. And the w/d is crippling even to the strongest, it will reduce any man to tears many times.

As you approach day 21, remember how strong you are, you have done something 75% cant and wont. The job now is to remember life and what made you happy and forget what doesnt. Your gonna have good and bad days but thats life, not pills.  We gotta learn to cope again it takes time. Some people bounce quick, i thought i was one and maybe still am since its only day 8 but man im getting some anxiety at times and i suffered a panic disorder for ten years until i decided no more and quit zoloft ct as well!! I like suffering i guess. Today i was barely hanging on at 5am but doing ok now, hour by hour. STay positive, exercise(im a bodybuilder) so its life anyway but i trained since day one in W/d and trained hard on purpose, i would sit in my car and just not want to get out and go in but i did and man it made me feel better day to day. Wish you the best.
