I'm at the end of my rope. I've been taking at least 10 lortab a day for a while now. Saturday I took 5 at one time. I don't need them anymore and I'm sick of it!!! I'm tired of the way they make me feel. I'm scared to death of the withdrawal. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I only get on this site once every day but it does help to read everyones comments. I am having kind of a hard time. Stomach pains started. Muscles are aching, head is hurting and the lack of sleep is horrible. I'm also having very vivid dreams....can anyone relate to this???

the WITHDRAWAL MONSTER is NOT half the bad a-- I had it built up to be in my mind. Of course the first 3 or 4 days is nothing to look forward to. but I bet you spend more than 3 days suffering in a active addiction to opiates.  You can do it.  I never took loratab but did vic, hydro, oxy, percs daladid codine   not loratab or tram.  How did I miss them.  Anyway babe.  You can do this !!!!   This site rocks for help!!!!!

Thanks for the advice. I am new to medhelp. I created an account back in 2008 (when my problem first started) but didn't keep up or maintain it. I will keep posting. It's awesome to have a place to talk to people that you know are going through the same things as you.

  I too am a wife, mom and a pain med junkie.  I quit cold turkey 3 d ago and haven't really slept since.  My  body feels achey and I am sooo depressed.  I cry over anything.  My addiction is to percocet.  I was taking up to 12 a day.  I feel like I can do anything when I'm high.  Unfortunately my body has become so numb that I have to double up just to feel a change.  I ran out and have promised myself no more refills!!  I have gone through this before and always give in.  I too am sick and tired of being sick and tired.  I really have to force myself to get up and get going and the days seem longer than ever.  Many times during the day I think about how I can get my hands on just 2 pills to get me through this.  I continue to lie to myself time and time again. 2 more pills, ya right!!  Soon I will find joy in my life without these pills.  I pray that God holds me up while I am feeling so low.  I want to be clean, I really do, but God do I miss my pills.  It's so sick, I have a bigger love affair with the pills than I do with my family. It's time to get our lives back on track one day at a time!!

Hi petal,

Fuzzy here. I am addicted to codeine well I was, 16 days clean I had the same thought as you. You can either taper reduce or go cold turkey. I tried to reduce but I have no self control. I would take thirty tabs a day shovel ten down the throat and think nothing of it. I am unsure of the withdrawals for Lortab, but I wish you all the best. Keep posting and reading past threads. And if you fancy a blether just keep posting.
