I want to quite taking hydro

Question

I just want to see of there is anyone out there would can help? I have been taking the hydro pills for S* I don't a long time. Today is my first day and I know What is coming, the WDs. I hate it and really don't want to but I guess I will. What really ***** about the WDs is how I feel. All the pain, no sleeping, and just feeling like I don't want to do anything but just lay around.

I will stop here and see if there is anybody out there who gives a ****?

I just hit the yr mark of being clean from Hydro...It is so hard...the wds are bad...I went cold turkey...If I can do it you can..You just have to want to quit...Just take it one day at a time....lots of HOT baths...MAKE yourself exercise...I drank lots of green tea...to flush my system....There were days that I felt I could not move...but I did...I am so lucky...I am clean...and love having my life back to normal...Hang in there....you can do it...

Hey, you still there? How's it going?

BTW, I am in a neighboring state and will resist the urge to give you crap about the OU avatar...   : D

Good timing, the worst days will be on the weekend for you- if you have access to any Klonopin to take 3-4 days it will be easier to handle the anxiety aspect. 

Hang in there!

I do give care but sometimes it feels easer to give in then up. I've been reading what people have posted all over the internet and I wish that it was as hard as it is. I know what you mean by WAR and that is what is a war. 

Tonight well be first night. I well take any tomorrow. What scares me is that I have a lot going on and the last thing I need is for everything to come crashing down. The WDs come with a feeling of being lazing. I have school to deal with. I'm in the  engineering program and the last thing I need is to feel that way and give up because of the WDs. 

Is there something I can do for the next couple of days while going through this that will help me stay focussed on school. 

Thanks for replaying back I guess there are people out there at 2:00 am

Puff, Sure plenty of people will come by and let you know we understand and care about what you are going through.   I quit hydros seven years ago but went on another synthetic opiate which did me no favors either.  

Withdrawal is HELL, there is no getting around it.  You don't want to try to quit, but you guess you will (try)?   Here is my two cents, nobody who has been addicted to hydros or any other opiate CASUALLY decides to quite and then walks away without a FIGHT.  If you are not prepared to do battle with this addiction and commit 150% to the WAR, you won't make it.  

So let me ask you, "do you give a ****?"   Nobody else here can do what you can only do for yourself.

I'm rooting for you though...

Courage, strength and HOPE, fred
