Day 2 of no hydrocodone just took imodium no more diarrhea so far

[redeye99]

I took my last 3 10 lortab on Saturday. Yesterday I woke up cranky anxious took two advil and then drove on a 9 hour turnaround trip. I didnt start having issues with my stomach until I got back last night. Spent the entire day until I finally got some imodium around seven p.m on the can. I have been abusing vicodin norco lortab in any and every quantity for 5 years. No doctor, straight cash 3-5 dollars a pop. At my peak I was taking anywhere from 10-15  daily. I gradually have been weaning not by choice but by finances for the past 6 months. I have lost alot because of my addiction. Ive detoxed and gone off twice b4 just to fall back into it and even other pills. I have three .5 valium sitting next to me. I havent taken one yet because I took the imodium passed out got up took a shower gave thanks I didnt have to diarrhea my whole soul out again smh. and forgot about them. I look amazing for a corpse. I swear I have lost at least 8 pounds!!! Im so glad I found this forum because alot of what kept me hooked was the diarrhea and sickness of detoxing.. Im ready to take my life back. Im moving out of state this weekend hoping and praying that by saturday which will be my day 7 im no longer having the nausea or diarrhea. My mind feels very clear. Im not tempted to take the valium or even look for norc's. One of my "friends" called with the connect and I turned her down she kinda got an attitude but eff her ya know? Im tired of the relationships ive developed due to this addiction anyway. It has been the only common bond ive had with alot of people who are worthless. Please pray for me. Im physically exhausted carpal tunnel in my wrists and hands are screaming for relief. As long as my stomach stays feeling just this ok I can deal.

The gatorade is helping...I got rid of the valium. I am not having trouble sleeping at all actually my energy levels are so low I feel like doing nothing else im dragging myself to do the simplest of simple things. What can I do to give myself more energy? Oh yeah...I think I lost about 9 pounds since saturday? Already not a heavy person...so im feeling a little frail.

Thanks for the advice. I just got the message. For now I just have to go through the pain. Im dead broke. Not gonna be buying anything for awhile.

I almost feel human today. I did my makeup. Went for a long walk. Drank Gatorade. I havent been able to eat again since the oatmeal. Napped. My stomach feels weak. I have little to no energy but a few more days hopefully i'll be feeling stronger. I havent had any imodium since this morning. I still had diarrhea just not as much. Thank you so much for being here. This has been hard to go through alone.
