Want 2 b off tabs
Ive been on lorotabs & narcos for for 2 years. I started snorting them six months ago. My tolerance has gone up to about 15 lorotab10's a day. I feel so terrible that I have let myself get so bad. I have wasted so much time & money on this habit. I did about 20 today and I am now out. I dont want to get anymore & I want stop. Should I try to go cold turkey tomarrow? I have never tried to get help before so this is my first step. What should I do & expect in the next few days?
I just answered another post so I did copy and paste some of this post from that.
as far as the withdrawals, the worst of the physical is usually over in about 5 days or so. You will feel like you have a very bad flu. You have to remember that it is temporary and it will get better as each day passes. What's one week of your life for a lifetime of sobriety? It is worth every second of the pain! It's not a easy ride but so worth it.
Here's what I posted in the other thread....Hopefully it will help you make it through a little easier. I usually answer each post separate and don't copy and paste but I'm getting ready to crawl in to bed. So I don't mean to be rude by not taking the time to type to you personally!!
If you look in the health pages you will find the amino acid protocol or the thomas recipe. It lists some vitamins and supplements that can help your mind and body get back on track a bit faster. Be sure to pick up some immodium for the runs. Sleep can be a issue also so get some melatonin. It is a natural non addictive sleep aide. There is also a product called Highland's Restful Legs that will help at night. Also be sure to eat healthy and drink plenty of good fluids. I can't stress exercise enough! I know it may seem impossible to muster up the energy to do so, but force yourself. Make sure you don't lay around all day thinking about how miserable you feel. You have to keep occupied. Try reading a good book, watch some funny movies, do a puzzle, any kind of hobby to keep your mind elsewhere. I once worked 12 hour days, 7 days a week while going through withdrawals. It was tough but I think it really helped by not giving me a chance to dwell on it.
Most importantly, stay mentally strong. You have to want this more than anything. Tell yourself every second of every day that failure is not a option! Many people have done it in the past and many are currently going through it. Be sure to get on here and post, read posts, and answer others posts even if it's just a few words of encouragement. Go through this forum and read away. You will learn so much and realize you are not alone. Also be sure to post every chance you get to give you something to look back on just in case you ever get the urge to use again. It will remind you of the fight you fought. This is one fight that you will win if you want it bad enough and I can tell from your post that you do!
Just hang in there and take it a day at a time. Know that each day will be a little better than the last. I'm pulling for ya!!
Best of luck!
