Hi everyone. Posted my story earlier this morning but Im sure a lot have not read it yet. To make a long story short.. I was taking about 60mgs of Lortab every day for about ten years  I am on my second day of Cold Turkey. I can honestly say I feel like I am in another world walking around the house. My children are doing their homework and the wife is cooking. I feel like I am not a part of it all. I would rather be myself. One symtom I have is really bothering me and I wonder if anyone else has expierienced this: There is like a white aura in my field of vision. Its like everything is very bright. almost like you turn up the black white on tv.. is this normal. I feel like I am freaking out

YEah, you're right worried, but his story just sounds soooo painful!  I don't know.  Tough call.  I couldn't do it.  Yeah, you're right.  If someone was holding them for me, maybe.  I'd probably choke them til they gave me the whole bottle though!~

Can people really detox and start over at a lower dose?  Just wondering about that one,,,guess it depends on whether you are addicted or not...I cant see myself being able to do that....wish i could tho!   Kinda like an alcoholic going out drinking but sticking to wine...for a while

Mike,
I just read your story...truly you are stuck between a rock and a hard place.  But the opiates do trick your mind on pain....I've had SO much less pain than I used to when I was on the pills.  It kind of pisses me off actually.  But, then again, I have no where near the problems you do physically.  We're always here for support.  I liked the advice of if you do really need the pain relief, maybe detox and start over at a lower dose and stay there if possible, for as long as possible.  Good luck...keep posting.  Withdrawls are the worst!!!!  My son kept asking why I was crying so much, he said he was allergic.  My husband just happened to be working the longest hours ever-he owns his own business....it was horrible.  So, at least your wife is making dinner-I AM THAT WIFE!  I was in tears every time I had to do it.  I would just literally throw a piece of meat in the crock with already washed carrots and some potatoes and call it good.  So horrid.  We're here man.  Peace out!

No vision problems but totally not with the program for a few days...may not have even noticed it if i did...it will pass...hang in there...if it does not after a day or two...check it out with your doc

Withdrawal does something to your pupils.  It's temporary.  Thats how doctors can tell if you are in withdrawal.   I remember before I knew about this and was detoxing. I was driving a few blocks to sisters and could not read road signs and everything was way out of focus.  I thought I had lost my distance vision. It should be gone by about day 4 or so.  It is freaky.

No I have not experienced flashing trying to get clean Years ago yes but not from withdrawals. I did feel like I was in a fog though felt very strange like I was high but not the kind I would like to have. Felt very distant can't really explain. Hope all is getting better for you.
