Hello everyone . I have a question. My fiance has been taking hydrocodone, xanax, and colonopin.. I just found this out for sure the other day.. I have however noticed the last month or two she has been laying around not doing much of anything around the house at all. She has had severe mood swings and has never cussed me like she has before, just over the smallest things like shutting the car door the other day.. she went off.. said I slamed the door. In which I did not. The funny thing was after fussing at me she gets out slams the door and goes inside. Ok moving on, the other day I am at work, she text and calls me flipping out.. I was thinking omg my kids are with her. I could not leave work due to the nature of my job. So I had enough. I called her sister to go get the kids so she could go get help. She went off on me.. not at all like herself.. she has always been a very kind hearted person. Anyways she gets into the treatment center they evaluate and come to the conclusion she needs to be detoxed. So she was cranky the first couple days. And then I got to talk to her. She was sounding better, told me she loved me tha whole 9 yards.. two hrs go by and I get a text from her saying all this is my fault she don't want to be with me, I was the reason that she had gotten on all this in the first place and that when she needed me the most that I didn't help her, I mean tha whole bit..then she has my calls blocked at the rehab center so I can't talk to her, but a few of her friends do. They had ask about me and how I was dealing with it and she tells them she is done with me, she's not happy, I make her life miserable and how all this is my fault I never pay bills don't take care of my kids, I'm talking crazy stuff.  Is this common of withdrawal or what, I don't understand at all.. the only good thing that I have found out is where all the money that I gave her has been going. She has now been in for almost a week. Still the same old stuff.. will it get any better when she gets out? I just love her soooo much and I want her to be better but I am stressed out. I have lost 15 lbs since she has went in. Due to stress. Has anyone else been down this road.. please help me understand this.. will she come out and still blame me or will it be better. Thanks for any advice.

ITs really hard to get off addictive meds, you need to get on  lexapro it helped me alot ive been on almost every anntideprssant there is and that one was the best, but everone is different, but you will always want the hydrocodene, and you need never ever touch it again. there is medications that doctors can give you to help you detox youself so ask your doctor , it will be the best thing you have ever done and you will be very proud of yourself when you are clean and stay that way!!!

I was addicted to the 7.5's for a number of years.  I had a devil of a time getting off of them.  I don't remember any real bad side effects once I stopped but I am on zoloft now and it works great for me over all.  I've been off pain pills for over two years.  I wish you the best of luck.

Hi Chrosty,
I truly feel for you.  Recently, I found out that my beautiful sister is addicted to hydrocodone as well.  I can't tell you how this tears me up.  She has so much going for her, but right now, she can't see past this messy addiction. It's controlling her life.  All I can say is that I stumbled upon this awesome website and lots of others struggling with this issue, too.  Please know that I'm going to be praying for  you.

Blessings~
Kel

Withdrawal is going to be difficult, and the best thing you can do for yourself is to ask your doctor to start you on some antidepressant medication like zoloft, or paxil, or lexapro to cover you while you withdraw, and then withdraw from the antidepressant which you will have been on for only a short time at a low dose.
