Hydrocodone addict
Hello I've been reading the posts for a few weeks in preparation. And I'm now only 24hours off them as I write this. At this point I feel a little restless but I'm confident I can do this with the help of my love. I was reading the posts and crying this morning because I kept hearing my all to private and debilitating secret being told over and over. It's really comforting to know that I'm not alone. So the main difference in my story from the others I've read is the number I take every day. Up until about a year ago I was pretty steady at 15-20 a day. I'm at the point now that I'm not really sure how many but I'm sure I took 30 a day at least on average probably up to 45 or more even. I stopped keeping track, probably because I didn't want to know how badly I was/am treating my body. So I guess I don't have any questions really, just wanted to share and hopefully help someone. Please comment, it would really help me get through this.
I'll take all the help I can get :)
Thanks,
Sean

You may probably be one of the rare ones who are extremely lucky to have only mild withdrawals. With Hydrocodone you should be way farther into some unpleasant symptoms by now and on top of that you are sleeping. That tells me you will probably get off lucky this time. I have not slept for 8 days before even on just hydrocodone! Even though it is easy this time you should never go back because it may not be so easy next time and that is also a poisonous dose of acetaminophen you were taking. Great job on getting those 37 hours in friend. ! Keep it up and never go back ;))
That would be great, but I'm ready for much worse... I'm never going to waste all of my money not to mention put my life in danger again for those stupid pills, by the end I was taking them just to function normally!!

P.S it seems like the nights are the worst because of the lack of sleep.... Anyone else feel that way?
Another question... Did anyone have tremors or "shakes" at all? I'm assuming if I'm gonna start feeling worse it's gonna be any min now. Also I am taking an over counter anti-acid, I'm not sure if it's helping or I'm just not to the stomach pain yet? It's been 37 hours since I took any of the god forsaken pills. Thanks again for your support.
I'm hanging tough ;)

I've been taking a bath pretty regularly... Going to get Epsom salts today. So far the hot water is good enough to calm my restless body down for a little bit. Is it really better with Epsom salt?
