Withdrawal set back

[blondiecat84]

Been on norco for about 4 yrs off and on. The amount taken gradually increased. Im turning 30. Getting married. Wanting kids soon. Moving to a new house. My fiance has nooo idea. He is recently dealing with his fathers death a yr ago. Then had to take his mom ti rehab for alcohol abuse. She is doing great. I feel so guilty all the time. I believe dependance on pulls have given me depression. I am not who i used to be. It makes me sick im living this huge lie to my family while i need to be his rock. Yes i treated the norco as my vitamin. It gave me productivity. Chatty in nervouse situations. Bur i have been a dissappointment to myself i let it get this far. I decided to go to an addiction facility. Enough is enough. I dont want to ruin my life on dependancy. For what?!? A high for an hour? Eff that. I mnot even in pain. I went in on tues eve. Was precsribed clonodine and atavan. I was ok til thurs afternoon and all day friday. I experienced severe weakness dizzyness and was a zombie. Couldnt even walk. My mother took me to lunch and said whats wrong with you. I broke down and confessed. Thank God for her and her deep understanding and support. Friday night i came hope and the way i felt was unbearable. I caved in and took 4 norco. It whipped me back into shape immedietly. Of course i regret it. I prob should be better by now but im not. I did realize i took too much clonodine and atavan on friday. Anyway. Today is sunday. I have been extremely careful with the clonodine and atavan. Just very very weak. My fiance doesnt understand. Obviiously cause hes in the dark. I tell him i have the flu. From my friday relapse how long will this take. When and how can i get my energy back. My body is lifeless. Thank god for the clonodine. Helps with chills sweats and achyness. Minor diarrea. Im just so weak. When will this go away? When can i go back to my life? I called into work mon. Have a doc note from the addiction clinic. I will never ever take too much clonodine and atavan again. That was scary. Ive learned to take in small doses far apart.  Please help me.

Well I would say the physical withdrawals will prob last anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks ... But you can do many things to make them more tolerable! Check out the Thomas Recipe it helps tremendously! What did you mom say? Also what did the addiction clinic say?
Everyone on this forum is awesome and can help you! You can do this! You really have to want it!
How did you feel when you didn't take them? Everyone swears that hot Epsom salt baths work miracles along with lots of fluids small meals and anything to distract your mind music, funny movies, reading etc.
you will need support if I were you I would tell your fiancé I didn't want to tell mine but I did and he has been awesome!
You will need ppl you can rely on to support you!

Its really hard to say. Recently the last couple months id take 4-6-10. Never ever consistent. The yrs before that were 1-2-3. Id go a month of being clean, then fall back. Just the recent months have been my max

Hi and welcome!!!
How many Norcos were you taking daily? Withdrawal depends on the length of time taken and the amount?
