I did a fast taper from lortabs...was feeling pretty much back to normall by day5...but went out with some frinds night 4 for a while...I also would have a glass of wine or a corona at night and it helped me alot...i do not abuse alcohol tho so not everyone can do this i guess....during the day, get some exercise even if it is just a brisk walk...it made me feel more at ease and helped me sleep better...also helps keep the achy legs away which i did not experience...u guy are doing great
I ALSO did the fast taper and am on day 3 now. I am feeling MUCH better tonight. Looks like a lot of us ladies and mommies are doing this without telling anyone. Its not easy to hide wd. I even had to pull off a job interview today! I totally understand where you are coming from because I am looking for work to help with the finances, hiding my addiction, taking care of 2 small children. You arent alone. Thank you for posting because it lets me know I am not alone either!
i did a fast taper too and am about 3 days out. i started to feel great halfway through the day so take comfort that you are almost there! good luck!!!
Like you, I've been going through this w/o my husband knowing. The people on this forum have helped immensely...just knowing that you're not alone makes a big difference. While it may be tougher without spousal support...its still possible. GOOD LUCK!
I agree, I can handle my liquor, (yes, liquor), but rarely ever drink, but I got hooked on these nasty devil pills too.
Thank you for keeping me in your prayers!!!
I appreciate that very much.
I actually have had two glasses tonight-- but I dont want to over do that either-- because hangovers lead to anxiety-- and to me anxiety is one of the worst things about the opiate withdrawel.
BJ - I don't drink wine, but like my beer. When I was detoxing, I couldn't even drink 2 beer without it putting me to sleep. So if you have trouble sleeping, drink some wine?
I need all the prayers I can get-- Prayers up to you also
thanks for all the kind replies
it is funny because I do drink wine on a mostly regular basis-- but I can go a days or a week or more and dont have any issues-- but with these pills they control me--
2 days is great! I also did a very fast taper and I think it helped me also. I will put you on my prayer list and hang in there. Whoo-hoo....2 days is really good!! Keep up the great work!
Awe Cher BJ,
You're just at the worst part. Soon, it'll be gone. And you'll get your life back.
I loved my lortabs too. They're now my enemy.
Just do small things in the beginning. Make yourself. Like just empty a trash can. That's it. You'll see how a little thing like that makes you feel good.
Love to U.
