Can someone please give me some advice on how to ease hydrocodone withdraws?

[Justin925]

I've been taking lortabs/hydrocodone the 10's for about a year now I consume about 8 pills a day. I found that I've spent crazy amounts of money of these pills and when I don't have them I feel like I can't do anything. I have a family and I just want to be clean not only for myself but for them also. So today is my last day taking them and I'm already feeling the wrath my body aches my stomach hurts I can barley eat anything when I move around it feels like I'm gonna throw up my head feels out of it. I guess what I need is some support I have no one to talk to about this so I'm basically all alone no body knows I was taking these pills I'm starting to feel depressed. If anyone can just talk to me about this I would greatly appreciate it.

Way to go!!  Don't be surprised if you don't have much energy for awhile.  You also may feel some anxiety and also have trouble sleeping.
You also may have none of the above lol.  
Just don't panic and come on here to post.  
You're doing great.

Today is day three and I'm feeling way better then the last two days but I still don't feel 100% yet, I have a huge day today so I'm hoping I can manage with the withdraws. I wanna thank everyone for the amazing support this community group has given me in the past 3 days it means the world to know that people can come together and support a complete stranger. I know that I won't be back to my full self and the withdraws are still going to be there but I have to get up and stay strong for my daughters birthday today. Thank you all! I will keep you all updated on how I'm feeling through out the day.

Well it sounds like you are on the upswing.  Keep taking good care of yourself.  Lots of fluids, vitamins, eating light bland foods.  
Like I said before it will probably come in waves now but you know it will pass and then the waves will be less frequent and pass totally.

You are doing really well and I'm glad you hung on through the tough part.
Keep us updated.

I am feeling better then yesterday. I feel like I might be able to get some sleep tonight I hope! My stomach is feeling better and the diarrhea stopped because I'm taking Imodium. But over all today is better then yesterday but i still don't feel 100%

Yes that is true being sober is a very good accomplishment, I did feel better for about 2 hours and then when I started to lay down about ten minuets ago I started feeling flu like symptoms again. Imodium is helping a ton with my stomach and the diarrhea, my head still feels a little out of it but I can honesty say that I am feeling better then yesterday. I flushed down the rest of the pills I had earlier today and I felt really good about it. I am never going to use these horrible pills ever again.  Thank you all for the continued support especially you mommymarieme for constantly coming back and checking on me. I will continue to keep everyone update with how I am feeling.
