vicodin 7.5 twice a day

[ltparties]

I know that seems like not much.  I had kidney surgery 10 months ago and have taken 7.5 twice daily.  I am now trying to stop and feel horrible when I don't take them.  HELP?!?

[ltparties]

yes.  I didn't take it daily one every few days but no more.  I really want my life back and kids want their mom back.

You can but you have to cut that script off if you want to succeed . You do know that you cannot stop taking the xanax abruptly though right ?

This stinks.  I am reading all your stories and your so strong.  I hope I can do this...

I did but now I think its just because I of dependency.  I need to clean my body out and feel human again..  I can't function without them now.  I got to the point I would take one as soon as I wake up.  They also have me on xanax and ambein.  Ive got to stop it all..

Do you have legit pain? Why are you trying to stop?

Hi..I am very proud of you for wanting out now before it gets too out of hand and your 2 would be 20 a day and years would slip by. You should not have it that bad..Like Ricart said drink lots of fluids..Maybe get some Electrolyte and Protein powders to drink..Start taking lots of good natural vit/min..When we take pills we deprive ourselves of vit/min. So start drinking and taking vit/min and try to do some kind of exercising..All of this will help fire up the Chems in the brain again. I wish you the best..You can do it..Just take it min by min and except the stages as they will go away in Time..Have patience too.
Bless

this is day two and its so hard. with my kidney issues I keep trying to find excuse to get some but I know I can beat this, but its so hard..

I know where you are coming from friend. The good news is with a small habit of two per day that it shouldn't last too long. Are you staying hydrated ?that is of major importance.  Keep posting and there are lots of people here who can help. Have you tried taking a hot bath with epsom salts ? Do you have imodium? If so take liberally. It will help all of your symptoms a lot.  How long has it been since your last pill?    You can do this.  Sorry that it is kind of slow here tonight
