24 hours
I'm exactly 24 hours right now. I take about 3-4 norcos a day but after my grandfather passed away I was up to 8-10 a day. I'm done. This is my 2nd time trying to quit. Last time I got 2 weeks. I don't want my grandpa looking down on me and seeing me pop pills all the time. My question is, how bad is it going to get. I just remember last time was horrible. I'm 24 hours and feel okay. Really tired and restless. But nothing I can't handle at the moment. Will it get worse?
You HAVE to push fluids or you will get dehydrated. You also have to push to get through this hun, it will only be a few more days.
Try the hot bath and get into some comfy clothes. Get comfortable on the couch or in a chair and watch an old movie. Try and relax and get your mind off of it.

I went for a short walk yesterday. I haven't been eating or drinking anything because I physically can't.
I am sorry that you feel that you can't do this. Going back should not be an option. At some point you will do this again and I promise it gets harder and harder each time. You have come this far---don't throw it away!
Please hang in there and get it done this time. It IS worth it.
Have you been taking hot baths? Keeping hydrated? Exercising? Tell us what is going on and we can make some recommendations.
Hang on, it is almost over.

I'm still clean. I feel horrible. Couldn't go to work today which is a big no no. I don't know if I can do this.
Now you have more hours than your original post. Please tell us that your still clean????
You are having these thoughts because your obsessing about it. You have to turn your mind off, keep busy. Also, I visualize getting my pills and taking them and then I ask myself how do you feel. Plus I'm taking this one hour at a time.
Why do you have those thoughts? That's your brain trying to trick you into taking another pill. You just have to keep reminding it that YOU control the brain, not the other way around. It has no arms or legs, so it needs YOU to pick up a pill and give one to it. It's just another organ in the body that YOU control, it serves YOUR needs, you don't serve its needs. Everyone goes through this, so it's quite normal.
You will get through it. Yes it will be uncomfortable, but you should be thankful they aren't worse. Your dosage wasn't that high, so 3-4 days should be the most of it.
As mentioned above, there are things you can do to be more comfortable. Keep well hydrated with an electrolite replacement like gator-aide or a vitamin water, take a good multi vitamin with the full B complex vitamins, and extra vitamin C. Exercise moderately, don't ever so it.
And take some immodium for stomach problems. It will also help with the wd's in general. Take only as directed however, and stop taking them as soon as you start feeling better. They are very handy to have especially if you have to work.

How are you feeling? I'm so scared. I have to work this whole week and can not miss any days. I have the leg thing happening as I type. I have pills for that for the last time I tried. I wish I could be like you and not be scared.
And...everytime I go to the bathroom, I visualize the opiates leaving my body. Do I want a pill, yes but that's my addict brain and body. This is so much about the power of our minds. I'm just telling myself this is all part of the process and every hour that goes by is another hour that the pill didn't win.
Hope that helps.

It's tough to say how the withdrawal will be. Everyone's experience is different.
But I have to tell you it's FANTASTIC that you've decided to quit. I think your grandfather would be very proud of you.
So keep your expectations for feeling better low for a while so you can handle whatever might come your way. And there are a ton of home remedies offered here (thomas recipe/amino acid protocol) so check them out. Lots of great suggestions. They were a huge help for me.
Good luck to you!

Hi, what I have done is taken advice from so many others. I'm going on 35 hours so we are in this together. We can do this! Ok, I'm drinking a ton of gatorade, juice, water, taking vitamins( Look up Thomas Recipe on main page), I'm taking a liver cleansing herbs and exercising a lot
I hope this helps. I'm seriously not allowing myself to obsess about the withdrawals. My fear is one of the reasons I kept using.
Hang in there! Your not alone. I'm here with you. We can do this!
