vicodin withdrawel help

[frank44271]

i have been a vicodin user for 4 years. I quit last summer and had a 90 day sobriety period. I though it was free from it, but it crept up on me. I have used 60 mg  a day fore each day i have evr used. i just started my CT again for the 2nd time. i was back on the junk for about 4 months after being clean. heres my question,  bc i had 90 days of sobriety will my WD be as bad now as they were before?  before i was clean for 90 days i was using for almost 4 straight years. I am on day 3, entering day 4 of CT and i feel miserable.

please help me people....i need as much help as i can get

You can always jog in place :) Everyone is different but usually the worst is what you are going through now and tomorrow.. You will have sleep issues for the next couple of weeks but hopefully you are experiencing the worst...

last time day 7 was the killer for me.....but will my wd nowbe more "acute" than befoe because of the 90 days of sobriety i had?

I think your Dr. probably had it right. As addicts we will find a reason to use when we let our guard down.. As you stated the headaches would go away in a hour the stress is what you were stifling.. Exercise works wonders for stress also helps with the symptoms after wd cravings and emotions..

Welcome to the forum.. Congratulations on the decision to take your life back.. You are on day 3 it is one of the worst day's 4 is the other.. How does it compare to last time.. Day 5 and 6 you will be feeling better.. Have you been taking hot baths/showers. as that will help a lot with the body aches rls and the mental.. Although I know you do not feel like it but you should try to walk or exercise anything that get's your body moving.. It helps with the symptoms and speeds up healing.. You are doing great making it to today. time moves slow for sure but it does move.. You might want to check into a support group when this is over and or make some changes in your life like friends who use.. your connection.. keep posting and reading as you will receive a lot of support from peps that are in all different stages of recovery...

by the way.....the reason why i had  a relapse, was at about the 10 week mark of my sobriety i was getting these scary fcking headaches.....not migraines...weird type brain pain tht was coming out of nowhere and would last for about an hour or so....SCARED THE **** OUT OF ME!


i read alot tht maybe i damaged my brain

i was going thru a TREMEDOUS amount of stress at that time and my dr (who has no idea about my addcition)  said it cld be attributed to stress/tension headaches......since i stared up with vicodin again no headaches....

i was smoking little bit of weed during afternoons, and drinking a martini cocktail, nd a cold beeer every nite (never more 2 drinks)  also i take xanax .5mg morn......1mg before bed


cld those headaches be attributed to some type of endorphin problem with my brain?  even after almost 90 days of headache-free sobriety?
