Withdraw question...already posted a min agon might have put in in the wrong thread

OK So if you read my profile you can see my history. I left out a bit on what it was and how much I was using. First I used mostly vicodin or Percs. I never over took them just took them as if they "were" prescribed 2 about every 4 hrs several times a day. I need to get clean I can not keep doing this to my family or myself anymore....I am the mom/wife I never wanted to be. I basically have to be high to function eww I hate that word. Anyways here are some questions I have  First On the the 1st I had a few vic's I had previously decide when those were gone I would go cold turkey and just do it. Tuesday I woke up feeling OK but as the day went on I felt like death and had ALL the sometimes of WD. I had taken my last Vic on the 1st at 6pm. I had made it 24hrs        YEAHHH!!! Around 7 or so my husband got a call and brought me a few vics I was very upset at him but then again I new it would make me feel oh my gosh sooo much better so I took them. I had 7     those 7 lated me until 3 yesterday. So basically I took 7 from 7pm on the 2nd till 3 pm on the 3rd.......now I have not had anything since yesterday at 3 and honestly I feel good. This is where my question comes in I have been clean for almost 24 hrs and why am I not feeling any WD? Maybe because I went through a horrible WD on day 1  but I though it would have just pushed me back considering I took 7 in between example I took 2 at 7pm on the 2nd took 2 at 11pm on the 2nd then the next day the 3rd  at 8am  I took 2
then at 3pm I took 1. I know guys sorry kinds confusing   so why do I not feel anything yet? I'm not complain is this it   am I going to not have WD's or will it still come?    The only thing I can think of is that I'm not a heavy heave user and I did WD 1 full day  and maybe thats it.   Anyone have any suggestions for me?
I'm so excited/scared to be clean but I know I can do it

I do take all the responsibility for it and no one made/shoved anything at me. To start and to stop was my choice 100%!! What I meant was he knew I was happier when I had them and when I did not he knew I was scared to death of the detox so that's why he would get me some more.....and I took them with no questions asked! I did feel sluggish yesterday but no "pain" or "flu" like symptoms were ever there besides Tuesday! It is now Friday morning I have a headache but no other symptoms! I'm 42 hrs into it and still clean w/o the typical symptoms! Yes I do understand I could still hit some wd's but honestly I feel good, better than I have in a very  VERY long time!!  Thanks for everyones support

I hope you don't have any more, but realistically.....by tomorrow evening you'll probably be getting miserable.  If you are REALLY serious about getting and staying clean, you'd better tell everyone around you NOT to give you anything....no matter how much you beg them.  Especially your husband!!  IF you start to have w/d again....he will have a really hard time watching you be miserable.  He may have brought you the pills (which you say you were 'very upset' at), but he didn't shove them down your throat?  Take responsibility for your part here.  Its going to be soooo easy for you to just take a few pills and get rid of the symptoms, but it just puts you back to square one.  

When you were in w/d before, the level of opiates in your blood dropped below a certain level which in turn gave you all the physcial symptoms of w/d.  When you took the 7 pills, you brought that blood level back up to where your body thought it should be.  As that level begins to drop again, you will begin to have the physical symptoms again.  Whatever you do, DO NOT take ANY more pills!!  If you do, you start the process all over again.....at day 1.....not day 3, or 4......DAY 1.

I hope for your sake you have miraculously dodged w/d, but its really unlikely.

I just have to say it is now 9:45 and I don't think I'm going to have any more WD'S!! Since last night when I started to feel a bit restless I took Excedrin back and body and I have had 2 doses of multivitamin and lots of orange juice and water. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's over and now the real challenge comes             staying clean!!!

Absolutely right ---  Lisa knows what she is talking about ---  Just thank the good Lord that you are not experiencing W/D's right now ---- Stop while you still can ---- Yes, you may begin to feel some W/D's but they will not last too long -- just tell friends or co-workers you have a case of flu and get through it.  You were really right when you said you can' put your family through this anymore --- they deserve the best 'you' that you can give them.  Tell you husband he is doing you NO favors by bringing you more Vics -----  Please, now that you found the site, come here often - read and post your experience.  It will help you and others.  All the best.

Well, you definitely can do it. But 24 hrs is not enough time to w.d completely. But you were at a small dose. So maybe that is why you are ok. When we detox, if we go cold turkey and wait a day or two and put more opiates in our system, it only delays the process. You body and mind have been functioning on those opiates, that is why when you stop them, you go into w.d. So when you put those opiates back in, your body and mind think they are getting them again and they usally stay in your system for one day. I hate to bring you bad news, but if you took your last one at 3 yesterday, odds are you may start to feel something soon. Maybe not though. You can do this. I would just tough it out. Don't go 2 days w.o and then take some when you can't handle it, cause it only delays the inevitable. Just get through it and it will all be over in 4-5 days, maybe less cause your addiction wasn't that high. GL and if you need anything, just ask.
