Just a quick little note..... I find that while I'm on my lortab high.... I smoke more. Otherwise I'm not a heavy smoker. Any comments on this? Just curious.

Anyhoo.... the main reason I posted is that I am ready to quit the tabs. I am sick of it all. Going to the doc just for a tab rx, finding street tabs when I run out, the nervousness when I get low and/or run out.... believe me... when I run out, I usually find some within 24 hours. The first withdrawals I experience is fatigue and restless leg... ugh! AND.... the money, money, money! geeez!!!! I finally admitted it to myself and totaled an average of what I would spend a month on tabs.... not pretty! ~
I posted here once before and was averaging 4-5 tabs daily... now it's 10-15 tabs daily. My rx of 60 runs out in 5-7 days. And I can only get that rx every 2 months.... so I spend a lot of money on tabs!!!!! OMG! What a terrible reality! $5 for the 7.5mg and $6 for the 10mg! Around $250 in the last five days alone! What an idiot! ~
I found a list of MDs in my area that prescribes suboxone... definitely want to try that. I have a terrible addictive personality... that's one reason I have never really drank or used other drugs. ~
How free it would be to never take another tab again! Excites me just thinking about it! ~
Oh yeah..... does anyone else experience migraines? It runs in my family... but until I started taking tabs regularly... I haven't had a migraine in several years. Now I get a few a month. Hydrocodone=migraines????????? ~
Plus as everyone knows... even with more and more tabs.... the great high just isn't there anymore.... no matter how many I take. I am scared of overdosing! ~
Guess I'll be hanging out here often.... I am weak and I am strong. The strong part of me wants to quit and knows I can do it, maybe? .... the weak part of me wonders.... why bother?!?!? I don't really even take the tabs for a high or for energy anymore..... I take them just to cope. Now I'm getting depressed..... I was actually sitting here with hope. *sigh~
I should also add that I take an antidepressant and I have for years. Depression runs rampant in my family! ugh! ~

Thanks for reading such a long post.
Have a good weekend!

You should definately look into the suboxone (buprenorphene) as you're a perfect candidate for it.Suboxone will eliminate your cravings and withdrawls allowing you to get your life back on track.You should plan on staying on it for at least a year and probably longer.It takes a long time for your brain to get back to it's normal production of endorphin's and other vital chemicals.This is the mistake most people make when they get on buprenorphene.They think after a couple months that they're cured and they detox to quickly and find themselves relapsing in no time.So start calling for an appointment and get in there and start your recovery.Good luck to you.....Dave

My Gosh I know what your talking about!!!! I too get a pers and its for around 60 but I do not buy them (Yet) but I have tried to stop Cold Turkey and I cannot do it but I start a new job Monday I have been off work for about 2yrs my job went to Mexico and I drawed my benifits out and went to school and I'm done with all that now, so I knew I needed to do something so I thought if I got a job I would not take as many but then I think that how in Gods name will I be able to work my legs hurt me so baddddd and my back just kills me and I have no engery at all unless I take the tabs. And as I said I tried to stop but all I did was get sick and sicker I could not stand it I swear I would of done anything for a Tab when I feel like that. But as I said I get them legal and I have what they call Degenerative Bone Disc Disease and it hurts like hell. But the I will be going to is not really hard but it is Hotter than hell in that building and I told my husband I did not know if I could do it or not but I have to try but for some reason I seem to only turn to God when I want something but I'm going to pray that he can help me get thru this and that I can hold up to do this job. I wish you the best of luck and I feel for how it feels to know the money that you must thro away for the tabs as I said I do not buy them but if I got hard up who knows.
