As of this moment I am in my 15th hour of withdrawl from lortab and the aches and pains are getting worse. How long does this last?
 
a few days at the worst. Things like Advil Aleve help with the aches, warm bath with the twitches and Immodium for the runs... Sleepy Time tea and benadryl for insomnia
 
Thats wonderful and please keep up the good strong fight,thats what it takes to get thru it all.I been in here back and forth knowing i am in the same boat,one day i will get strong enough to do it.
 
Okay, so 22 hours are passing, and I just keep doing alot of praying that I can get thru this. I have taken massive amounts of lortab over the past 3 years and I just didnt think addiction would affect me, but here I am just like everybody else searching for answers and trying to not let everyone around me know whats going on. For the most part right now, the pain in my back is the worst...but I can feel the twitching starting and thats where I end up failing...I just cant handle feeling like Im coming out of my skin...thanks for answering my post Lifeaftr40...great to know someone is out there to talk to about all this.
 
Today was my fourth day...I have felt pretty crappy all day and just laid around and did nothing...God I hope this is almost over...I appreciate all the support that Ive gotten and reading the other posts helps alot too, to know that I am not alone in whats going on in my body, and my mind...thanks!!!
 
I would think you are already going thru the worst and should start feeling more and more normal,the thomas receipe has the l-tyrosine and i went and bought 2 bottles they seem to help a lot.I hope you are trying some cause it will help,hang in there and keep the good fight going you are almost thru it.
 
Well I woke up this morning around 6:00am....I feel pretty good so far but its still early I know...I have started taking vitamins, and was suggested to try the SAM-E stuff and I started that as well.....I got rid of the tabs in my purse, so I think Im doing good...I really have to say that I have done alot of praying thru this and not that Im into religion, but I truely believe that God has carried me thru the worst part thus far.... now for my Monday...stayed in all last week to fight this but I have to get out today as my obligations are calling...I hope that being around the people who so generously shared the stuff with me is no where to be found today...as Im not strong enough to interact with them at this time....keeping my fingers crossed....
 
Hi there.....
I hope you are hanging in there alright. I also have a history of lortab abuse. After 10 years of abuse, which started out innocently with me taking Lortab for chronic pain, I entered myself into a detox facility this past sept. You are very brave to do this on your own. After I got out after 9 days in Detox, I went straight into counceling. I searched for a Suboxone Doctor. Where I am, there are so many people trying to get it, there are waiting lists. My primary Doctors office finally just got me into one at the end of May. It really is amazing how well that helps with any cravings and to help you stay off any opiates while you work thru why you started abusing pills. In the last cpl weeks, I have felt better than I have in years. My goal is to continue being this positive and get back to a normal life without pills!!! Did you see the "sticky note" they have on this site that has a home detox? I just scanned over it quick. It may help you.
Good luck to you...... you are never alone on here!! And dont be afraid to call your Doctor for help, and you also need to be open and honest with family and frienRAB. They are going to be important in your recovery. You need that support!!
 
I really appreciate getting the support from this site. It really means a lot to know I'm not alone in this. I am coming into 48 hours of withdrawl and the pains come and go but the twitching is still by far worse for me than anything so far. The suggestion on talking to family and frienRAB about this isn't an option for me. I come from a family of alcoholics and I was always the one who would try to get them help until I stopped being an enabler. As far as frienRAB, don't think I can go there, that's where all of the drugs came from so on this end I am alone. Today hasn't been bad so far but I have to make a deal to buy for my boyfriend and just doing that is a hard thought. I guess I can manage it. For 2 days now I have carried a couple lortab 10's in my purse and its like proving to myself that I don't need it and won't use it. In my area there are many people seeking these out and last time I went to doctor they acted like I was an alien or maybe they look at everybody that way and I'm just paranoid ... Lol ... Anyway I just wanted to say that 48 is rolling by me and I'm still here. I am determined to regain my life thru a set of clear eyes again.
