Lortab Detox NOW how?

Please take one minute from what you are doing and post some help for me.  I need some answers ASAP.I have not taken any Lortab since Friday, today is Tuesday.  My body and mind feels like I am going through a panic attack.  My question is simply..what can I do at home or otc to help with this right now without a doctor.  I have convinced myself to quit, cannot afford a doctor, and want to be able to work this entire day without taking a Lortab but need immediate relief from this sense of panic.  It feels like a giant  panic attack and pain, not going to take a Lortab after taking them every day for two weeks.  I need to do something immediately while at work, otc, or something to relieve this panic/stress.

since you worked in a psyc hospital you know that opiate detox patients take vistoril for anxiety, the otc = to vistorl is benadryl
but the anxiety is going to stick around for a while, i know people who had to stop driving their first few months clean, because of anxiety

Being able to relax will help you through post-acute withdrawal. When you're tense you tend to dwell on your symptoms and make them worse. When you're relaxed it's easier to not get caught up in them. You aren't as triggered by your symptoms which means you're less likely to relapse.

Remember, every relapse, no matter how small undoes the gains your brain has made during recovery. Without abstinence everything will fall apart. With abstinence everything is possible

Do something to burn that energy off - take a walk if you can - different herbal teas can be relaxing.....chamomille and mint especially ......valerian root or theanine ..... do you have access to any benzo's? Might be time to try a valium for a couple days....Just dont stop quiting!  This feeling will come back if you dont face it now. You are already several days into detox - you are so close to doing it by yourself and winning the battle. I am a Nam era vet - and I have seen people do things to survive that might seem impossible to most folks - you can do this. And now is the time.
