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.

Hello and welcome. You got it this time. You can beat down this demon. Stay strong. Stay hydrated, get some gatorade. Dizziness comes from being dehyrated. Tryy to force yourself to eat something light,soups,crackers,yogurt
Smmothies,milk shakes. I have bad carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists also. I have wrist guards that helps some,I especially wear them at night.
Walking will help you. Keep yourself busy. It was good that you weaned yourself down by choice or not. You will feel better each day. Time will heal you emotionally,spiritually,physically and mentally.
Keep the faith.
Sending hope,hugs and prayers
Debbie
