Vicodin Withdrawl

My doctor had me on 4 10-325mgs pills a day for 4 years now I had 13 surgeries (plus 2 kids) since I was 13 years old and I am now almost 30 so I have so much scar tissue built up I hurt it's even on my spine (or right next to my spine). But I am done I am done having to make sure I have them in my purse or with me on a trip etc...I have never abused them by taking more than told at one point I was at 5 a day but had meningitis and doc told me to up it. Anyways I always always tried to get off them but knew each month I could fill them it made it hard when pain was bad to be like no no i'm done WELLLLLLL doctor moved out of town right after he filled my last Rx so I did one week at 4 a day 1 week at 3, 2 weeks at 2 and 2 weeks at 1.5 a day now i'm out I am still very tired (in pain but trying different things aleve, ibuprofen, tylenol, vitamins, natural stuff whatever) and very anxious my stomach is upset but not like running to the restroom upset. Today was day one without them and I did get out got a gym membership hoping to work out through any WD symptoms took my kids to a bounce house place and worked some. I have no support at home at all my husband always told me no matter if it was prescribed or not if I was WD from something then I could do it on my own as he would leave hes also always gone working so I have the kids on my own so no nap time for this momma! How long should I expect to have the tired/anxiety? I just need people to talk to me so I can read things when I want to find some...

Fathers day I start 5 days off at work...I also am gonna start a detox from percocet. I filled for the last time last week and will have a full bottle and almost a full bottle of nucynta that will be out of my reach as of sat night. I only filled cuz this will be onmy terms and not cuz I cannot get more. I did not schedule a future pain mgmnt appointment and I want my life back. I used to be an advid runner and ive become lazy and unmotivated. I started running again a cpl days ago and have read enough posts to know this is gonna be a great challenge. I also know that ill need support from people who have been there. Finally I've grown close to jesus and know through him with help from this forum that I can do this. My scripts are legal and I wanna conquer this and show my kids that with help and faith yoi can accomplish anything. I'm really pumped to start this and have made it 30 hrs several times but anxiety at work caves me. I'm using 5 days off and have tapered my nucynta 250 s to one a day so far. Sunday I'm goin cold turkey on my percocet and nucynta shldnt b as bad since I've tapered them. I'd be lieing to say I'm not scared or nervous but I'm excited for the future and have read enough posts on here to know I've found a good group of helpful people... see you all sunday for day one. Ill need prayers and luck:)

Thank you for replying I was thinking I was gonna be the one with no comments haha...Unfortunately with the 6 brothers I have and 7 brothers my husband has I have seen what drugs can do. But fortunately that stopped me from going further but then I realized I was hooked and didn't like that fact. I think I can handle the mental part (hopefully because I don't want to be like that I want to be the mom I always wanted to be ) We stay busy in the summer I work from home so I am always working, we go out and do things and today I got a gym membership so now hoping to be the drug free not obese mom too! It's just really really hard with no one to talk to to text or email and be like ahhhh it's on my mind and get distracted...I'm hoping the WD aren't bad and I can handle them!

WELL let me be the first! lol  I'm on day 4 on the same thing you were taking of vikes.plus an added oxy binge that was dumb *** pure and simple.

I have pain in my lower back-premature scoliosis they say- and I was only prescribed tramadol ever...well...addiction is my middle name, I wanna say WAS! so I binge on all opiates...I've bought, stolen, you name it the pillls...

Finally...ran out of my boyfriends...and I've been deathly ill again...have before.

I'm glad you tapered. WISH I had. You came to the right place for support...I have the same issue with NO ONE at home helping/caring/understanding...


I feel for you....And I get you completely. Good luck. I'm day 4... <3
