Norco withdraw
I really need help. I have been a heavy addict to norco 10/325 almost 3years since I had my youngest son I was an addict to vic before that and went to rehab but now I have chronic back pain and now I'm up to almost 30 norcos a day and No one knows about it the last time i went through this i lost the respect of my family cause my mother was an addict to oxy and i belive that's what killed her and now I'm in a new state with No insurance i have to go back to california for my meds now I'm out and cant get at until the 19th i have been through the withdraw before and I almost lost my mind but the person I live with does not understand what I'm going through and tells me he will send me away if he finds out I'm abusing them again I can't go to rehab again at the risk of loosing my boys I'm just so alone in this I'm now out again and terrified of what's coming what can I do?
I know it is hard at first but you have to stay strong! In order to change the way things are now you have to change the way you are going about them. Nothing good in life comes easy remember that. The worst part will be over in 2 days that is 48 hours and then you will began to see light at the end of the tunnel YOU CAN DO THIS ! Life can be better then how it seems right now but you have to be strong! I understand time moves slow the best thing to do is sleep if you can it will pass....
Today is day one I only had 3 Vic yesterday but today I'm having shooting sharp pain going through my head my heart is racing and beating hard and I feel like I can't breathe my anxiety level is high as well I'm trying to hold on but I might break and go to the er I took a 50mg trazodone and 4 sleep aids I hope it calms me down enough to sleep for a while I pray I feel better when I get up I found the Thomas recipe but I don't have half of it so I can't use it...
If you are on your phone you have to go to the full site I think the link is all the way at the bottom. Then I think it's on the right. Also you can google it it is all over the Internet. Hope you are doing ok. I just kicked heroin cold turkey at home and like you at first believed I could not do it. It can be done. It's not easy but worth it.
Try the (Thomas Recipe ) It has helped a lot of people! I pray it will help you as well! Keep us posted on how things are going for you !
Sleep well Kari. Please, if you need me just send me a message or go to my page. I'll try to keep an eye out for you on the forum. Hang in there, girl.
Thank you it's very helpful to know I have someone to talk to to help me through this I'm still doing good for now I found a couple sleep aids and me and my son will be taking a nap soon...
Kari, you have friends here. In fact -- I extend my arms and my heart to you. You're welcome to PM me anytime, my friend. Please, the first thing you must do is to start believing you CAN do this. Many folks here have been alone and believed they couldn't do it and DID. We become what we believe. We make our own paths. You're worth it & your children are worth it. You deserve to push through this to a 'new you' - a you who doesn't have to feel so down on herself. I know, I was there, for years. Stay with us!
I really wish I did have someone to reach out to I don't have any friends and my the only family I have is my two sister's and they don't want nothing to do with me so I'm really alone in this it is very hard I would love to go to a rehab again cause I know I'm not strong enough to do it on my own but that's out of the question...
Kari, is there anyone you can tell, my friend? It's hard to be alone with this kind of thing. I think it might really help if you could reach out. I know you're doing it here and that's wonderful. Proud of you, but it would give you extra support if you did it with someone you know, even if it's over the phone. What do you think?
I wish I could tell him what's going on but then he will send me back to California and then I will be in worst shape than I am now he seemed OK this morning and I'm not feeling the withdrawal yet but I know they are coming I took the last of what I had yesterday about 6 pm my son woke me up about 5:30 this morning so it's going to be a really long day...
the best way to do it is to keep your mind off of it I no easier said then done another way is to sleep as much as you can better days are ahead!

Don't beat yourself up. That's why you're here, because you want to stop. Ask your guy to take the Vic's and flush them. If you own up to 'sneaking' them, you'll prove to yourself and to him that you're serious about this. Take this key step. You can do it! Stay with us. We're here.
Thank you all so much I don't feel so alone No I don't have anyone to reach out to but I'm thankful for this site God has brought me here I'm not working right now but I have my 3 year old with me my 8 year old is in California with his dad both my boys live with him so having him here helps me but also makes it harder the man I'm with takes care of me fully but if I need something besides the pain meds he will get it for me he got hurt a few days ago and got some Vic and I have been sneaking them and he counted them witch I didn't expect him to do I had to lie and say I have my own but he knows I did it thank fully he just said OK and dropped it I feel so ashamed he does so much for me and I betrayed him I'm depressed now and I feel so low.
You can do this......check out the Thomas Recipe and Amino Acid Protocol (links for both on the bottom of this page) for additional information and suggestions of remedies to help lessen the detox and w/d symptoms. As both of the above members said, you will find a lot of support here. Many people that have done this, or are doing it now. A lot of this really is a mental 'game'; I think that honestly the fear of the detox and withdrawal is actually worse than going through it. The physical discomfort is temporary - but the rewards you will receive for doing this will last for a life time. And you only have to go through this ONCE! Hang in there and post with any questions you have. We are here for you . . . good luck :))
Just wanted to add my encouragement and second the above information by evolver. You can do this. STAY HYDRATED. Do you have any way to get a few supplies like imodium and some sports drinks and protein shake powder? Hang in there and take it hour by hour. Try to watch some movies or something to distract you for the first couple of days. Lots of people on this forum are happy to help.
Hi! & Welcome, Congrats on Posting. You're in the right place. Everything's going to be OK. You can absolutely do this if you want it. You have to know deep, deep down that you'll do anything you have to to stay clean. If you're not working, it could be a blessing in disguise. You'll be over the hump within 5 days or so. Is there anyone around you that you can reach out to? Even over the phone? Try not to panic because the fear and the anxiety make it much worse. Think of all the agony and consequences you've incurred as a result of your use and then think of how low a price 5 days is to pay for your freedom. Please, use this site. It will help you through. You will get the support you need. We're here. Hold Fast!
