Default Pain Killer Addiction

I have been addicted to Lortabs ever since last year at this time, when I had sugery for a hernia. I am trying to quit, and have been sober for about two days now. But ever since I stopped taking the amounts that I used to consume, which has been about two weeks I have been going through some pretty nasty withdrawls. The anxiety has been overwhelming. I start to think about not having the drug and I have bad panic attacks. Just the thought of going a day without makes me freak out. I really want to quit and would like some advice on what to do and if anyone has gone through this before. I would be open for advice.

You need to get some immodium ad and advil gel caps.Also if you can get some short term that will help you sleep.Drink plenty of fluids and take lots of hot baths.After about 5 days you will start to notice a marked improvement this is the time when you can talk yourself into taking just one pill.Don't do that or your back to square one.Your already half way through this so hang in there and believe me you will start to feel like you never have before.Good luck and hang in there.....Dave

You may also try Tramadol and Immodium. These tend tend to keep most of the w/ds away while you detox off hydro. The key is to not replace hydro with Tramadol. Get one of those weekly pill containers so you can measure out what you can take each day of the week and cut down by 1 a day each week. It won't cut all of the w/ds out, but if it did you would easily go right back. But it will keep you functional and able to lead a normal life!!!
