Hello, I had a spinal fusion on L4&5 years ago and now need another on L2&3. I am not going. I was given oxycodone 5 mg which I was taking 1 a day at night. IT WORKS. But, the next day my head felt foggy and I didn’t like the feeling in my chest. I stopped, and by day 3 felt so much better in my head and all over. These OxyContin’s take the pain away right away, but you feel lousy in another way. I now take half a Valium 5 mg at night before I go to bed. It helps. I feel better this way as the OxyContin is poison. I hope I don’t go back. I noticed tho, if you take 1 OxyContin just now and then, not everyday, it won’t bother you. If you take it everyday, it will bother you.
Hey Fellas
i know fellas its hard but remember nothing comes easy
this of it like you're life's first day at job as day progress you are learning
and days will get better just do it. Twice I Was at your similar condition
but like i said First Day at your new job always bit scary but when you
come home its better. Cheers All.
I’m going on 72 hours..I don’t seem to have any symptoms of wd except the horrible restless legs some depression and everything hurts! Battling an abscessed tooth also so it’s hard not to grab half but I haven’t yet
I took my last dose feb 22,2018
I was taking 2-3 325 mg hydros for over a year now from a back injury I had surgery for back in July . I never fully recovered from the back pain and just started going to church with my wife and kids for the first time steadily for the last couple of months . I’m afraid that I’ll never be happy again . Today is the 28th so it’s been about 5 1/2 days since I last took any of my meds and today I feel drained . I’m having a hard time believe that god will rebuild my spirits because I can’t find any joy or peace because I’m constantly thinking about getting a refill and thinking about how terrible these whithdrawls feel . I’m wondering if I’ll ever feel normal again whatever feeling that may be . The thing is I didn’t abuse my meds but notice they would where off faster the longer I took them and the more in a day I took the more my body relied on having it .
I make music for a living and can’t seem to find any inspiration or even feel like writing music lately even when I was taking the meds so I’m praying that if I keep going on without the hydros that god will restore my natural happiness and motivation to write and perform music without the feeling of being depressed or unmotivated . Thanks for anyone who posted I literally read every post so I know what to expect a little except the part it I will ever feel natural happiness again .
I'm on day 16 and yesterday and today have been the worst will it ease up again?
All that should subside by day 4 and you should be feeling better physically anyway. This is day 4 for me and. The detox trots has stopped. I only vomited once thank goodness and have actually ate a little. You can do this and I hopefully can do this. It’s the mental part that sets me back. Good luck
Hello going on 110hrs I can't believe I'm eveb typing that so almost 5 days no pills one step/min/hour at a time so day 4 soild &right now is Tuff for me the anxiety & cravings is what's getting the best of me I feel like I want to cry the 2 seconds later I don't my body just feels sooo weird & off... Oh yea coming off a 30 to 40mg a day habit for a year Honestly I am so proud of myself that I've made it this far But it is hard!!!

Also today my legs are sore as if I have been working out riding a bike or something is this normal like a part of W/D it just came out of nowhere on day 4 my body is pissed at me I can tell but deep inside thru all the pain discomfort a part of me is enjoying this NOW almost day 5 because I know I almost there almost over the hump! I just took a Clodine to help relax me been taking for the last few days helps a lil but I am still not sleeping pass 4hrs before my body wakes up with is pure hell. My mornings are the worst because of the anxiety of just having to get thru another day Hopefully Morning and Sleep of Day 5 will be better trying to stay hopeful. In this hopeless feeling situation. Also thank you all for sharing your stories yall truly don't understand how much yall have help me just by sitting here reading all yall stories. I also want to say (sound cliche) But if I CAN DO IT SO CAN YOU!!! I've been reading for months (high) & thought I would never be able to say I'm going on day 5 but I am & you can too... Blessings Family Never Stop Fighting to get Your Life Back!
How are you doing now? Its been awhile from this post. Just looking for success stories
I am on day 5 of hydrocodone withdrawal. So far this has been the worst for me. I have a couple of pills left in my script and I really want to take a half of one just to ease all of the physical symptoms. My question is, will this make my withdrawals start over? I don't want to go back to the beginning, but I need some relief today.
I AM AT HOUR 50 of MY ROAD TO RECOVERY. AS FOR THE (I ASSUME GENTLEMAN) that is on day five of Sobriety, PLEASE DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT TAKE ANY OF YOUR REMAINING PAIN PILLS. You’re guaranteed to relapse and start it withdrawals all over. It’s not worth it. Don’t do that to yourself please right now I could really use the support team behind me.
All you can do is go forward. I find that the mental side of the withdrawal can be just as hard to deal with as the physical. The only thing you can do is remember that you can do this. Keep strong and well done for getting this far.
I hope somebody is still around, as most of these post are pretty old.. Day 5 for me and I can definitely notice a difference. Been taking 10mg Vicodin for the last 6 years now, 50-60mg daily. This is my second time going thru withdrawals and I must say it is much worse this time. The Fever symptom for me are the worst! Along with the reastless leg syndrome, diaareah and Anxiety. Days 1-4 were horrible, but finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. Does anybody on here experience lightheadedness/dizziness and shortness of breath, with withdrawals? I can barely make it to my kitchen without almost falling over. I hope this ends quickly, cause I want my old "Self" back. Stay positive guys/gals!!
I'm wondering same if anyone still active. Day 5 here and its been hell but I sleep. Been masking pain for over a year and my brain/ body gave out last week. Meds from neuro keep me sleeping and only 1 minor seizure but I know I'm 5 days into withdrawal. No intense cravings like muy failed attempt in March to get clean but so ready for life back
KBec I just came across this too!
Day 5 here, and the lightheadedness/dizziness has been pretty bad today. I lay most of that on the fact that I have not been able to sleep. Hang in there, you're just about past the worst bump in the road.
Hardest thing I've ever done. "doing" feel helpless,any natural herbal remedies to ease the aches???
Yes, L-tyrosine and valerian.it works great.OTC
Hang in there brother! Just found this forum and I need support too. DAY 3 here too!
I went through everything for about 2 weeks before I could sleep at night and feel normal did you complete your mission ?
Hi all I over Dosed on Thursday on codeine I've never had any since Thursday which is 4 days ago. I've had horrific stomach pains sweats leg twitches vomiting and now I've got the poops. And terrible anxiety. I haven't got any desire to even go bk on them or take any to take all this away . I'm just wondering when this feeling will go and I get bk to my happy jolly self. With my two children. Keep strong everyone we are in control of this xxx
I am currently on day 2. I have some on me but I refuse to take anything as I have made it this far. It's not comfortable... that I can honestly say. I have had to run to the bathroom numerous times! I am just sick and tired of it hurting my finances and keeping it a "secret" from everyone and anyone. I can honestly say I don't want to go through this ever again.. but I'm able to type this so I must be doing okay. I'm alive.. above ground and that's what matters. Just going to take it one day at a time. If your going through it.. know you can do this! I never thought I could. Wish me luck... and good luck to all of you!
Hello, I will be on my 7 day without taking Norco tomorrow! Its been hell! I have had the worst anxiety ever! If you drink Sleepy time tea, no caffeine.. That will calm the anxiety down! Its been working for me! You will get better and get through it! Focus on why your doing and who your doing it for! Taking pills for the rest of our lives, is No way to live!
I have been on Norco 5-325 for about two years, back arthritis, budging discs..was taking up to 7-10 per day. Am down to 3 a day to wean off them. I hope to begin WD by Sunday... all pills will be gone from the house, I currently have enough foe two more days at 2.5 per day. Hoping that helps before I begin the WD
