I need to get my stupid mind off this crap. Maybe someone could explain things to me better.
Why does are body feel like this all the time???? Why do some people take the pills(any kind) and not have any troubles getting off of them at all and i have no choice but to continue for now because of how horrible it would be if i went cold turkey.???
My friend called me last night and asked me for just one pill because she was haveing the with drawls and i told her that i had none and then she told me that she was just gonna go to bed and sleep it off. This morning she called me and told me that she was much better than yesterday and all she took was some Nyquil and it help sooo much!!! Now she feels great and she says that she was just haveing some little with drawls and its all over now.
Mine last about ...well......FOREVER!!!!
WHY???
Your Friend, Christina*~~~*
Well Miss Christina,
Everyone is different when it comes to withdrawls. Maily flu for everyone. Some are mild, moderate or severe. Depending on the length of time she was taking them, how much she was taking daily and what OTC drugs she is using to relieve her symptoms. Some people take longer depending on the type of medication they are taking too. I know about a methadone, percocet and vicodin. They were all a little different. Well honestly methadone was like a slow death and vicodin and percocet just made you feel like death warmed over with the lack of energy. I think the fact that I always tappered to the lowest amount each time I quit , really played in my favor. I couldn't imagine taking 10-20 pills a day and then qutting, that is crazy in my opinion but people do it all the time I am sure.. I am on day 9 and just went grocery shopping and finallygetting out of the house. I still have a lot of depression but I am doing much much better.
So how are the kids? What's up? Rae

This is day 7 for me and all I can think about is vicodin. That I am over the Physical stuff and now I can take 1 or 2 and it will be OK. I'm pretty sure thats a lot of c***. I know I cannot take just 1 or 2. But like you I just keep thinking about it. To make things really bad I have 5 of them sitting on my table. Sounds like were in the same boat. Lets work together and keep this sucker from sinking.

Hey Frank,
What a horrible place for your vicodin to be sitting. You need to flush it, bury it or give them to someone else. I don't trust myself that much. I miss my vic's a lot. They were the only thing for many years that I really enjoyed doing. As messed up as that sounds. I am pretty bored already..I liked cleaning and staying on top of everything, it is just ashame they are so damn habit forming and bad for your health. . Anyway you have done great keep up the hard work.. I have faith in you...Rae

Christina and FSGuy.....What's going on here? You guys having a hard time?
Christina,,,,,,you can do this. You've been through it before, I think, and although you know it's gonna kick butt for a day or two, you are one strong chick and I know you can handle it. You have to think about what's going to happen if you don't kick it, OK?
FSGuy....run, don't walk, run to the bathroom and flush those babies. You should not torment yourself with that temptation. Once they are gone, your hands are tied and you won't be having that brain battle anymore. Just do it. You don't want this past week to be in vain, now do you?
Both of you keep posting, and let us help you instead of letting the pills.
Terrianne,
I'm OK for now Just needed to get back here.
Christina,
I cut down over a couple of weeks. When I finally stopped last Saturday I was down to 3 to 4 a day. THIS REALLY HELPED FOR ME. I tried to quit 6 mos ago from 25 a day to none. Do not try that on you own. This time the w/d's were not nearly as bad. I actually feel like I have a life again. Its a great feeling. Some of the high's I'm feeling now are far better than when taking the pills. They don't last long yet but I'm sure they will.

Frank,
You a stronger guy then me. They would not be sitting on my table, I would have taken them--then I would be on a roll. I would be right back to taking 120 every 3-4 weeks. And I guess once that started, I would start living the way I used to--and acting the way I used to--Damm Just writing that makes me want to say--bud, dont have them so close--it's your call.

Hey Lady it slipped my mind 2.Try & have a wild time to tell us about it in the morning....mj
Christina, I'm sorry you are having such a rough time.....
The reason that some people can take opiates as prescribed and not have a problem and others cannot is because of our chemical makeup. Some people are just more prone to addiction, whether it's because of a certain gene or a chemical that's missing or just our past behaviors.....
Since I've gotten addicted to pain pills, I've never really had a day where I didn't think about them.... The sub and Wellbutrin take away most of the cravings, but I still find myself cleaning house and thinking "This would be so much better on Vicodin." I know I will be battling this in my mind for a LONG time to come.
Good luck and hang in there.... Are you off the pills now?
