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.

Justin, you've probably cut yourself, don't worry about it unless its a lot. Your almost half way through the physical wd's. Just hang in there and think of the great Christmas gift your giving yourself and all who love you!! keep posting and God Bless you

I just wanted to add that when i go to the bathroom (diarrhea) when I'm done and whipping my self I see that there is a small amount of red on the toilet paper in thinking blood? Is that normal since I have had major diarrhea for two days already? Is constant whipping giving me a little cut or is this something that I should be very worries about? I am scared out of my mind right now. I just bought Sam-E and just took 2 pills witch are 200mgs each I hope it makes me feel better the depression comes and goes but when it comes I loose it all. Please respond.

Thank you for the motivation unfortunately I cannot take hot baths because my bathtub does not work but I can take hot showers witch I have been doing. I am trying my best to overcome this and it is so hard day 2 and I feel like pulling my hair out I keep tossing and turning at times I feel like crying and that happens back and forth. Thank you for listening.

You just hang on with everything you've got...day 2 s*cks eggs for sure..you're in the "thick of it" right now....but PROMISE...if you hang on...it WILL GET BETTER!!
A year of using 8 pills/day versus 5-7 days of detox....we just have to be willing to go thru the nasties....to get to the goodies.

Epsom salt baths (Eucalyptus Spearmint or Lavender) will help you in more ways than you could imagine....it will be the best $4 you can spend!

Sounds like you are staying hydrating and re-focusing you mind as much as you can.  Hot pads....not watching the clock.....distract..distract...distract
yourself all you can.  

I promised myself I wouldn't use even if my butt fell off.....and I moved the dang clocks around.  Sure hope you cut off any sources for pills.....
Keep on keeping on....you CAN DO THIS!!!

I've just been watching movies all day trying to keep my mind off of things but it is so hard. I have my one year old daughter here so I have to get up every now and again. It is just so hard right now. Thank you for talking to me.

Hang on Justin.  You are probably at the worst of it now and it will pass, I promise.  It will stop and then come in waves.  Just hang on tight.
Are you able to try and distract yourself?  Funny youtube clips, shows, or movies?  
Keep talking to us if you want.
