Hey i just went on a 10 day binge on vicodin for no reason. i was taking 12 pills a day and now i am out and have no will to get more even though i can. i am wondering what i am going to have to expect. it has been about 14 hours and i have the chills/sweats and nausea.
am i going to have to go through the whole 9 yards of withdrawal? or since it wasnt that long of a duration will it be less worse? any advice would be great.

Hey parsimony,
At 12 a day for almost two weeks, you are going to have withdrawals. Maybe a little less than the long term user, but you are going to feel yucky for awhile. You could try the Thomas recipe by googling it. Otherwise, hang in there, you will get better.

Thank you Laurie. I think i can do it i just need to stick to it and know that it will all be over soon. I have the ingredients to the thomas recipe. I always psych myself out because i have been doing this so many times in the passed year that i keep expecting the worse. I have been really bad with abusing and then stopping. I keep telling myself that the withdrawal is going to be worse than going off of suboxone when i know in reality that it will not be like that.

my relationship is going in a downward spiral because i keep withdrawaling and going crazy that this is it. i am ruining my liver and sanity by doing this to myself. I have so much potential in life and am blessed to have a boyfriend who loves me and am going to school for a great degree and working i just dont know why i keep doing this. I think i need to be on anti depressants. I cant ever relax and i always turn to narcotics to help me relax and then i fear the withdrawals so i keep taking them and then i get myself into a hole and dont want to stop taking the pills for fear of withdrawal and then its just a cycle of crap! i am so over it! i just want to wake up in the morning like normal people feeling good and go through my day not needing a pill to take because i am angry at my work or stressed at school or in a fight with friends for being too busy. :(
Hey parsimony,
I would like to recommend you get into some kind of counseling for addiction. You could address your issues and reasons for returning to the pills and learn some tools for staying clean. Just a thought hon.
