Anyone remember me?? I'm back AGAIN..

I CT'd about 2 months ago and was successful for only aout 10, 11, or 12 days.  I forget.  Anyway, here I am again.  I CT'd again after Saturday (last dose about 3 pm) from about a 8 a day 7.5 hydro habit.  I felt bad Sunday morning first thing and sick all day.  Monday the "comcast powerboost" of withdrawls kicked in and I was out for the count.  I took two 5 mgs to make me feel better and it took the edge off but by no means did I feel great.  By Tuesday, again I thought I was dying (which I logically knew I wouldn't die) and again I took two 5 mgs to make me feel better.  It took the edge off, again.   I took one 5 mg this morning.  I have none left.  I don't want to take anymore.  My question is will the WD process start all over again?  I know no one can really know, but in your best guess?  I just want to be past the worst part but don't really think I am.  What do you all think?

I guess I answered my own question.  I'm feeling the WDs but not like before.  I guess the very minimal amt during intense withdrawls DOES help.  I guess that's why those that can do a taper say it works.  UGH!  Wish I coulda did it the right way.  Oh well, the quick taper didn't kick the WDs completely but it did help.  I'm on day 4 off of my USUAL amt of hydros.  I feel bad, but it's manageable.  Everytime I go thru withdrawls or when I was "in need" of a dose I get really bad jaw pain.  Has anyone else experienced jaw pain?  I've never seen anyone on this forum state jaw pain as a WD symptom.  Anyone?

Thanks in advance for the answers!
