How is it possible I am withdrawing ??? IT CAN'T BE

[restlessinseattle]

Hello everyone,
  I am truly in a bit of a pickle.  I was given 60 hydrocodone from my doctor.  They were 10/325.  I took them over a 7 day period.  Today is day two of nothing and I swear I am withdrawing??!!!!  I haven't taken any painkillers in a while....like a LONG while.....and is it possible to become addicted over just 7 days?? I have the cold sweats, hot flashes, can't sleep, awful rls and rlm, extra high blood pressure, depression, anxiety, stomache cramps..it's awful.....what the hell happened here??

Hang in there....i guess we live and learn as feeling bad again is not worth it...perhaps if u ever have to take them again, u could let someone give them to u as prescribed....i would not think it should last too much longer

i'm not really sure how long they were supposed to last.  I got carried away as usual.  I've been clean for a year up until this point.  I was passing a stone and as we know we always find a justification to our using.  Anyhow, now I'm suffering hardcore.  It sure doesn't feel like it will be quick....feels just as bad as when i took oc for 2 years and withdrew.  yuck...y do i do this to myself.....

That is also 85mg/day. That is a hefty dose for just 1 week. How long were the pills supposed to last you? My guess is about 15-20 days.

I agree with mimi 60 in 7 days  is alot that is most liekly withdrawl.yeah thats 8.5 a day . it should be quick it should not last very  many days .  Before you know it you will be feeling better.

It sure sounds like withdrawal. 60 hydros over a 7 day period is a lot though. So maybe that's why. Hopefully it will be short since you only took them for a short time. Look in the health pages on the right side. There is a section titled FLaddict's Amino Acid Protocol.  It is very helpful in taking away some of the symptoms. You may also want to call your doctor. He may be able to help and give you something for the symptoms you are experiencing.
