Norco/Hydrocodone withdrawal?

I really wish I cld tty on the phone bc I have alot in common w u. I know what your dealing w/, & I am 35 & had an addiction to vicadin so badly that the DEA was @ my front door 10 yrs ago w/ a list of every Dr. I had been to in the last 30 days, which was alot, & said if he sees my name pop up for any controlled substance he will take me to jail. I learned about methadone & that saved me b/c of no withdrawal, it handles pain, and blocks any other opiate from working. 11 Yrs later I live in a diff state, am married, and am OK. I still struggle w/ addiction, though. I also need pain control b/c I was in a motorcycle accident as the passenger 1 year and a half ago w/ no helmet & was hit @24 mph and was thrown off the bike and into the rear rim and exhaust area of the car. I hit my shoulder, elbow, and rt torso. That's what took the full blow.

My right elbow shattered completely, bones in my arm blew out of my arm lik a bomb, & my shoulder was torn off and I broke all ribs & punctured my rt lung. I now have titanium for a rt arm, welded elbow @ a 90 deg angle, and a shoulder that moves a bit. I have full use of my hand though! Since I was already in Methadone, they bumped it from 200mg to 360mg, dilaudid drip as well, and anything oral. When I came home 2 months later I was still @ 360 mg methadone and oxycontin 80 mg as needed. The accident was 1 yr 1/2 ago, and now I'm only on the methadone. Sometimes I run low on Methadone & get sick for a few days b4 returning to the clinic. I don't know, I can't handle withdrawal. makes me crazy. I have gone to the ER b4 for coming down! Be strong, and I added u as a friend. If u need to talk, I'm here. Jewels480

nessiepooh, same here with the pills and withdawls and addiction. i started taking vicoden for the worse case of tmj from a broken jaw in the past, and it went from vic 5, 7.5 to percocet 5, 7.5, 10. at one point i was taking like 18 pills, then did a taper and came to 16, and the 13 pills making it 130 mgs daily. for some odd reason, i would get stuck and never able to get lower, would actually go higher. well enough was enough and i got a different type of taper from a friend here on dc, also doing massage, treadmill and stretching and its helping some. i also have zofran wich is an anti nausea medication that is now used to help reduce the withdrawl symptoms from opiate and illegal druf withdrawls. and it does help. i get the insomnia and rls, and i use to just toss and turn and get all irritated.

i found that just getting up, and going on the computer, facebook, come here or doing my devotions and having a cup of coffee and starting my morning, because its usually about 1 am hawaii time allready, eventually the rls goes away and youll get sleep. hang in there, and be in touch. leanne
