my story. im 14 years old and have recently discovered the bliss, beauty, and joy of lortabs. my mother is a nurse and would never suspect me to do any thing like this thats what makes it so easy. we constantly have lortabs morphine, xanax ect. at our house and one day it sounded like a good idea. im up to about anywhere from 4-6 a day. im scared cuz i know im addicted to them now i tried to stop and it worked for a while when my mom moved them one day but i found them again today and now the whole thing is starting again. im scared cuz im so young but i keep coming back to them and i dont knwo how to stop. do any of you have any suggestions or anything on how i can quite or anything? any advice would be great.
Hi, wow you are sooo young, i am a nurse as well, but i never had so many drugs in my house. why does she have all those pills?, and doesnt she notice that there are so many missing?, u need to tell her, those are a nightmear to get off of and u can not do it alone at this point, she will know, shes a nurse honey.. how are you doing know, how long have u been using?
Hey sweatheart- we are all with you. When you stopped taking the Lortabs before sid you get sick? If not, baby stop taking htem now. You son't want to end up like the rest of us- taking 15 - 25 Lortabs a day, that is DEATH to get off of.
How are you today?
Why did it seem like a good idea to take that medication?
How are you today?
Why did it seem like a good idea to take that medication?
the reason there at our house is cuz the company she works for is a home care for disabled ppl and she has to do charts on them and deliver them to the people and so they go in and out of our house she also has back pains which she has her own perscriptions for. i dont know how she hasnt noticed but she conered me about it the other day when my pupils were really dialated. then she put them in a new place and i was doing really good. but today i found them and i got this rush when i saw the bottle and thats what scares me the most. but if i tell her i know that i will be really skrewed over and never trusted with anything again. im just trying to find a way to stop without her knowing.
Kids get board and its the thing to do drugs atleast for me it was, i hope he is still here?? i wanna help him and you as well, we can all talk just the three of us, evryone else is gone..
i didnt get sick when i stopped but everytime i take some i get stomach pains i just read that they damage your liver. and i dont know i have a friend that is completly hooked on them to she says there great and so i just thought i would try them.
oh yeah u can hurt your liver all that Tylenol, my liver was damaged because of my addiction, but its getting better know. please tell your mom! and why does she have all those meds and doesnt she notice them gone???
Jasmine- how do you know your liver was damaged? Mine has got to be a pile of tar. Over two years of Lortab...
well she has them cause of her job there constantly in and out. and then the lortabs are her own perscription because she has back pains.. i just am scared to tell her
well i dont know if it is damaged but im scared it is but i cant stop. but my mom is telling me to get off of the computer. but please still relpy to me and ill get on tomorrow and read and if u have any suggestions on ways that helped you stop it would really be helpful.
Tell your mom if you need help to quit taking them. If you can live without them, please quit taking them. Please. I don't want anyone to go through what I'm going through from being addicted to Lortab. We can talk. I'll be here for you.
I had blood work done in rehab and i was abusing for 6 in a half years, i think you will be ok, liver wise, but you need to get blood work done, to know for sure and you dont have to tell them its because of your addiction just tell them you take a lot of tylenol is all, thats what causes liver damage not the narcotic, see how easy that is and if it is there are ways to fix it, eaither time depending on the damage or medicine that is your doctors call..
Thanks, Jasmine. One day at time...right?
Right, thats all that we can do..
Lipstick,
14 years old -- you couldn't have known what you were playing with. If your Mom is a nurse, she will understand how easy it can be to get addicted, and she will also be able to help you develop a plan to get help. You need to tell her hon, plain and simple. I'm sure she loves you and will respect you for coming forward on your own. Of course she may have some anger, but I guarantee you it will be small (and short-lived) compared to the love and caring that she will feel when her daughter is in trouble and asks her for help. If you don't tell her now, and she finds out on her own, trust will be harder to earn back. Also, if you keep stealing pills from her, she will lose her job, and then you'll have even more problems. So please hon, tell your mother and, together, you two can figure out a way through this. And you will succeed, and grow from the experience. God Bless, M.

telling my mom would be my last resort.. and how can i go to the doctor to get my blood tested or wahtever you were saying to do but i just need to do it without anyone in my life knowing
sweetie, u r in troubl and you need your mom, i am telling you, please, please. i am 28 years old & i needed my mommy to help me detox, see it is ok..
honey 14 is very young. you can't go to your doctor without your mom knowing. you are a minor, by law they need your moms concent to treat you. i know you are having a really hard time right now, but please try to get help. i have been using heroin since i was 13. i'm 23 now- yes 10 years!! honey trust me you don't want to be like this. please think about talking to your mother. after all she is your mom, and will only wantthe best for you. i'm sure it would kill her if anything happened to you. good luck

Hi I just wanted to say if my 12 or 16 yr old had to tell me something like you need to tell your mom I would probaly be real mad and real hurt but I would also be glad she told me so she wouldn't feel alone.I would want her to feel like her mom is where she should go you know.At 14 you shouldn't have to be alone....Hang in there and really think about telling your mom take care......Mollyjean
I totally agree agree with the advice everyone is giving you. You have got to tell your mom. You are playing with drugs that could end your life. You have got to get help now if you really believe you have got a problem and cannot stop on your own. I have a daughter that will be 14 in a couple months and I can't imagine her keeping something that big from me. Yeah, I may be upset and disappointed at first but she is my baby and I would get help for her immediately. Your mom will know what to do honey. You may be surprised at just how much she can help you. If she gets her own script of lortab each month and she is a nurse that deals with pills everyday she will know. Please I urge you to confide in an adult(preferably your mom) that will help you-asap. Don't go any further with the drug use. Stop now before it's too late. You are soo young and your body is still growing and you could overdose on a small amount not to mention an allergic reaction or even death. Please think about talking to you mom about this situation... Good Luck honey,Rachel
