I'm a 26 year old mom, that has become addicted to Hydroco/10/650. I take 6-9 a day. I want to stop, but when i don't take them my mind goes crazy, i shake sweet, throw up and cry. I'm getting were i don't even feel the pills anymore its just keeping me from getting sick. My family and friends have told me how much i have changed.  I started geting them from my doctor about 6m ago. And they made me feel care free, and i had so much more energy.  And i started losing weight. In the past three m alone iv lost 38 pounds. I want to tell me doctor that i need help, i even called this morning trying to get in to see her, with no luck. Iv gotten an appointment next Tuesday.  The holidays are so close, i just want to be myself again.. I don't really remember much of the last month are so. My dreams are really vivid, I feel like i'm not really sleeping at all. When i wake up in the morning, if i don't swallow three pills right then i started getting aches chills runny nose, and stomach spasms. I am on xanax too. I don't talk these but a few times a week. I have not needed as much as i used to before i started the pain pills. I just want to be happy again. I want to feel something besides sadness, I feel real sad at night and in the morning i guess because the pain meds are waring off. I just need to know if i need to go to rehab are if i can do it myself. I can quite cold turkey, But i heard you could die. I'm also on a heart pill called metoprolol, for erythema, and palpitation, thanks for any advise.

You may very possibly want to add an antidepressant to your regimine. See if you can get in to your GP - tell them what is going on. Hopefully the prescribing Doc will take some responsibility. Meanwhile take inventory of your personal resources. Check insurance for coverage and for detox options. Most people here have had to get past the physical withdraws themselves. Thats the time to get the ingredients on the Thomas Recipe and the Amino Acid Protocols. If you are not taking an AD - the amino's 5-HTP or SaMe can help. Consider your home situation. You may well need a hand while you take 4-8 days off. Its really just flu like symptoms that you will experience. The ingrdients in the Recipe will help. Immodium for stools, emetrol for stomach - stuff like that. Most people try to taper off the first attempt. Not usually successful but its certainly worth trying. Have someone you trust hold your pills and dispense them in a controlled manner. Most of us would continue to use if we were left to try to taper. Cold turkey is semi-brutal but everyone is capable of doing it. Remember to feed your body. Using takes a lot out of you and really depletes the stuff that supplies serotonin in the brain. Need to replace that. Be sure to intake enough fluid. Loose stools and vomiting will put you in a negative state pretty rapidly. Dehydration is serious and it kills. Replace fluids lost. Lots of good people here that are either in your position or have been there. Stay in touch with everyone for suppost ans new ideas..........and congratulations!!! You have taken the first step to getting your life back in control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Dont stop here - continue quiting and posting.....

If you are feeling that bad, I would go to the ER for help, especially if your doctor will not see you until then.  Do you have any help or support from your family?  Anyone to help with your kids?  The holidays are coming up, and you do not want to be sick at that time.  Can you tell your Dr to work you in, that you are i desparate need?
