Please help

I've been looking for someone that knows what I'm going through to talk to for support. I'm going cold turkey off hydrocodone 10/325 taking about 10 a day. For 7 months now I've been taking some form of opioid. It went from hydrocodone to dilaudid to oxy back to hydrocodone. I need to be off of these. Pretty much my only way to do this is cold turkey. I only have ER 40mg hydrocodone and I really don't want to take those. I've never taken ER before. I'm throwing up, very nauseous, can't stop going to the bathroom, in pain, very hot but very cold, high anxiety and so on. I took some early today at about 11 and I'm already feeling this. I went off dilaudid cold turkey until I relapsed back to hydrocodone and it wasn't like this. Please help.

Thank you for replying. Having support right now means so much. I've been throwing up and feeling terrible. I'm laying in bed now trying to relax as hard as that is. I'll just be happy when I wake up tomorrow and know I made it through the night.

Take deep breaths, slow the thought process down if you can. I know it's hard sweetie but you can do this. It seems like no end to it but believe me, it will get better. The days will pass before you know it.

I've tried the bath and shower a cold pack a heating pad stretching and laying down. My anxiety is sky high at the moment. I'm feeling so weird and sick. I know this is all normal but everything is hitting me at once.

try and hit the shower or take a nice hot bath sounds simple but it works and not sure whats hurting but if you can get on a soft surface try an do some simple stretches an use hot pack cold pack on the sore area but for now every small pain is magnified and its just irritating just hand in there right now you need to be like a warrior and fight through the next few days.

Holy crap I have to say the night has not been nice to me. I've been in crazy pain for 8 hours and it will not go away. Also so tired but couldn't nap. Feeling depressed. Not good.

I got out of the house for a bit because I needed to pick up my prescriptions. It's so hard to even leave the house right now. My dr prescribed me lyrica and it says it's a controlled substance, I had no idea but not looking forward to a new medication. I always hate what they do to me. Unfortunately I do have to take something as I'm actually in real pain that hasn't been able to be fixed yet.
