I am right now actually admitting to u that i am addicted to Hydro. i feels so great to be able to finally say that. i have hiding this or i think i have from everone but i know my family is not stupid. i am now up to 10-13 10mg if hydro a day. at first i thought i could be supermom and wife taking these, but only after one year i can't quit. i am desperate. i tried to stop one time and oh my god i thought i was going to DIE. i have never chatted on line please accept for i am so alone in this. what is anyone thought on Methodone treatment to help with withdrawls?
I will tell you right now. I know you hate being addicted to hydro but do not go to methadone!! My fiance was addicted to hydro too and she went to methadone and now she can not get off of that because if she doesn't have her medicine she could have a seizure or a a stroke if she doesnt have her medicine. It might seem like good idea, but it really is a lot strong and harder to get off of than Hydro. They seem like they are helping at first because one pill can last 10-12 hours but then you continue to take those thinking you are getting off the drugs but in actuality you really are not.
thank you !! i hope your fiance will be ok i will definitely pray for you and your family. my other issue is that i buy the hydro from people 10's for $6 or 7.5 for $5 and i will take 10 a day easy. i thought spending just $13 a day would be better because it's fixing to be discovered. my husband thinks i stopped and i am could spend $60 every other day. i have such a beautiful little girl and i am so scared and desperate. i can't stop these horrible pills. at first they gave me energy now i have take so many just to get going. IT SUCKS GOOD LUCK
i am new at this chatting i hope this gets back to richard.

Yes it is cheaper to go to meth but a lot harder to get off of. I think you should also tell your husband you are still having a problem because my fiance tells me and I am a lot more understanding than if she doesnt tell me whats going on. I wish you the best of luck no matter what you decide to do and I hope that I have helped you a little. You also need his love and support because I know it is no fun going through it alone for my fiance so I support her no matter how much I hate it that she is going through this hard time. Good Luck and we will be praying for you.
I know exactly how you might be feeling this evening.
I have had about the same experience as you: duration and usage (10-15 10mg Norcos per day for 1 year)
Welcome to this site...you will find a lot of wonderful helpful people here who can really help you through this process. I am on day 10 of cold turkey w/d. This is my 2nd and hopefully final recovery.
If I can be of any help maybe it is just to say that you can do this....you have to want to do it because you care about yourself, your family, your future......we are all out here pulling for you too. Here are some things that I have learned and people on this site have taught me that I find valuable as I go through this:
1) Remember that for most of your life you have lived free of this addiction. So you can live a full and great life w/o pills. Dont let your dependence cloud your perspective about who you are.
2) I imagine that like me, after getting a quick dependence on the pills you probably werent feeling that much of a high anyway...just using to avoid feelind the w/d. Try to remember this as you progress: these things are a huge waste of money and time that ultimately do not make you "high".
3) W/D is not fun. It can be the hardest thing you have ever tried to do....but it can be done and you can do it. There are many helpful suggestions about methods, treatments, etc. I have gone c/t because I could never seem to taper..but a lot of people seem to do it that way. If you go c/t......you will feel pretty lousy for about 3-6 days (Day 3 has been the absolute worst for me) but around day 4 you start to feel better each day than the last...and some great things start happening...you feel proud and strong and you strat to notice all the things that were going by while you were focused on your use....I dont know what lies beyond day 10 but I know that the physical w/d is mostly gone and now it is mainly the emotional and psychological work to stay clean and not relapse. Remember the w/d as a good tool to prevent you from relaqpsing...you dont want to go through that again.
Bottom line- you can do this. Just reach out to people and make sre you have someone you can talk to (even if its a stranger on this board)
I am wishing you good luck and good thoughts from a hot and sultry NYC.
Peace
Brian
