Default Help with Oxycodone/Hydrocodone Addiction

Hello,
I posted this in the wrong place earlier....this should be the right place now.
Anyway....
I need help. I was originally prescribed Vicodin 5/500 6 years ago for a torn ligament in my left knee, and back pain (ciatica). I was up'ed to Lortab 7.5/500 in January. I also have been using a friends Oxycodone to boost the pain relief and lets admit it, get high sometimes. I have been taking (2) Lortab's with (1) 15 mg oxycodone 3x a day for the last 6-8 months. The oxy well has finally dried up. I have been off the oxy for 8 days now. To keep from going completley nuts I have been taking (3) Lortab's , 3x a day. I know this is alot of Acetominaphin for my liver to handle....I don't like it. I have become an irritable asshole. I can't sleep very well. My wife and kids can tell that something is going on. HELP. How long will the withdrawl from the oxy last? Can I get back to taking the prescribed dose of Lortab at some point or am I a lost cause? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tom

[QUOTE=tkclary;181789]hi tom, i went cold turkey on oxycodone exactly 14 days ago today and this morning i feel that at last i have turned the corner. my stomach and abdomen is much better and the diarhoeaa has gone. i was taking 2 20mg slow release and on bad days an addition of 10mgs instant hit every 4 hours, since feb this year. today i am left with a very swollen and sore throat and my glands under my chin and back of neck are achy and swollen. going to dr's tomorrow to see what he thinks and whether i should cancel my op or not which is due in 3 weeks. i stopped all my medication as well as oxycodone 14 days ago (with the exception of my blood pressure pills)
so i'm waiting to see what happens there with my o/a. at least if you are same as me you know you only have 5-6 days to go
good luck
rosie
