Today I have run out. I have been on pains meds ranging from percocet to vicodin. I usually take 6 vicodin or more a day to cope with my chronic pain due to being rear ended in a serious car accident 2 years ago. I am going crazy now from the pain. I am shaking, can't concentrate can't control my insane thoughts. I would give 100 bucks for a few.vicodin. Dr.never gives me enough, so now I have been ordering crappy vicodin on line. It is costing me a fortune, but I don't care. I need these pills to function. I will always have this chronic pain due to receiving 2 herinated disks in my neck, spinal cord compression and a pinched nerve. Before this accident I never even took an aspirin. I cannot work, do not receive any type of income and am only 35 years old. As far as I am concerned, my quality and excellent health have been taken from me. I need a pain pill so badly right now. My prescription didn't come today, and I cannot handle these cravings. Any advice on what I can do today to cope other then blowing my brains out.
I HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!!!! ALL I CAN SUGGEST IS GET SOME MOTRIN FOR THE ACHES, IMMODIUM IF YOU HAVE DIARREAH AND LOTS OF HOT HOT BATHS TO HELP WITH THE ANXIETY AND PAIN....I9 KNOW OTHERS HAVE USD HERBAL STUFF BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS..... DRINK LOTS OF WATER TO HELP FLUSH THE TOXINS FROM YOUR BODY...
I FEEL FOR YOU..... TAKE CARE.

Hi grftgirl,
Thank you so much for replying and your advice. I have had about 64 ounces of water to today to flush my system. I took some celebrex hoping my pain might calm down, but nothing. Thank you for taking the time to post a message back to me. I am so alone today. My thought process is very clouded right now. I hope you are doing well.

I am on edge. I am sweating like crazy. My vision is blurred. I have never felt so horrible in my life. This widthdrawl is starting to override the pain. I am so alone right now. I have been reading through all these other topics and at least I know I am not the only one hurting right now. I feel for everyone who is going through this horrible time right now. I hope we all can get through this.
Anisa - you hang in there, girlfriend, you'll start to feel better than this, but it will take a few days. In your post, you mentioned blowing your brains out - are you thinking about hurting yourself, or was that just an expression? The last time I came off of Vicodin, I was suicidal; not that I wanted to die, I just didn't want to feel that pain anymore. Listen, if you feel that way and think you really may hurt yourself, you need to get to a hospital so that you can be in a safe place while you're withdrawing from the drugs.They can wean you off the Vicodin and give you other medicine that eases the withdrawals a little. Please don't ignore or forget what you're going through right now, this is your WAKE UP call to action. Please investigate other pain management methods and get your body clean so that you can have your life back. I want good things for you and I've been where you are - my thoughts are with you. Raquel
I can't give you any "miracle" cure, but this is what I used:
vitamins, kaopectate/Immodium, Ibuprofen (but only once a day), HOT baths, xanax (for the first 3 days, but only at night), lots of water, LOTS of vegetables, and exercise...
Mainly, you just have to go through it like everyone else.....
It also helped me to read lots of articles about drug addiction and withdrawal and to talk to people on here.... somehow, talking about what I was going through made it less scary and helped me through the whole process
