I’ve been reading the same comments over and over for over a year. Its almost 2 years now that i’ve been addicted to vicodin..norco. my doctor knows, they all do. but they don’t know what to do. my orthopedic doc. upped my dose, and said its okay if you need more than prescribed, we can give you a higher dose, but when it stops working…when the tolerance gets to high, then we need to move on to something like pain management…but i tried that when i was in the hospital, dont work. first time i took vicodin….it was as if all my problems had been solved…i did better because i didnt have any pain. 2 years later, i lost two jobs and quit school after 3 years…lost my grade point average of 3.5, failed 3 classes. havnt cleaned my room in months. today i’ve already taken over 20 valerian root pills. its my first day without it. but i know i have a doc. apt. with a new doc on monday. i’ve been getting them on the street cus i lost my insurance like 3months ago, so yeah, i dont have any money at all. i ask my bf for money but he gets pissed and says no. i think about killing myself all the time. i wonder what else there is. taking vicodin is the the only thing that makes me feel good enough to do anything. i’m lost. i’m pretty much a loser. sometimes i dream that i just had barrels of vicodin…like an endless amount. i’d just be chillen in my room…away from everyone, cus it makes me hate everyone. i get annoyed by everything people do. you dont need friends when you get all your stimilation from 20 pills a day. yay. the only reason i havnt killed myself yet….? idk. maybe i’m scared of what will happen. but i hate life, and the people and places in it. vicodin never lets me down…when its there it says and does all the right things. it always agrees and is on your side. damn. lame. dancing white vicodin everywhere i look. wish i could put dresses on em. haha, or little pants. and everyone asks, “why do you do it if it does this to you?” ahhahahahaha yeah, what in the fuck do i say to that? “cus i’m an idiot who loves the torturous pain of withdrawal. I’m broken to the point where i dont know how to fix myself. do doctors only save the lives of people who are worth saving? i dont think i’m worth it. what will i do for society, sit here and get high…then die from my crazy addiction. wow, i’m a winner. i dont even know why my bf wants me?…sex? haha. thats not even good anymore. wish it was monday. wish i was stronger. wish i wanted to quit for good. it’s easier to withdrawal when u wanna quit for good. in the summer you can lay out in the sun is the best place to be when the withdrawals are bad. tomorrows thanksgiving…i’m dreading it. i wont even enjoy the food. lame.

Riki – It is hard but the pain ends – if you decide that this is what you want to do and it sounds like it might have to be if your sources are dried up…..just make up your mind that today is the day – take one day at a time – and say just for today, I will not take a pill – I am still saying that each day after 15 months and just yesterday as I cleaned my husbands den, I came across an old subscription he had back there of about 20 or so pills. I want them – don’t get me wrong – but I will not go down that road again. Once an addict, always an addict! Do it for those kids. There is never a good outcome to pill addiction. Just get those Thomas Recipe ingredients, plan on a week out of commission – and it is all up hill after that. Thanks for posting and keep on posting if you will. I always need reminded that there are a lot of folks like me out there in various walks of life and various ages that are in the same predicament.
God Bless you

Hey everyone, I’m about to start my withdrawals. I want to get off of them, but I’m scarred to death of the withdrawals. I have two kids that are with me everyday, which makes it even harder. They need me at my best, so it’s pretty much impossible in my eyes!! If l had someone to take them for a week, it would help. My husband has already contacted my suppliers, and told them to cut me off, because it’s gotten so bad. Anyways, I’m 23 years old, have a 6 year old and a 2 year old. Need any advice, that will make this go smoother. Been on large amounts of opiates for almost five years now. Need to be able to take care of my little ones while going through this. Thanks for your time, and support.

Immodium ad in large amounts is a miracle for opiate withdrawal. I was on a severe ammount of opiates and used this method to kick with little wd synths. You must wait for the withdrawals to come on first then take the immodium.

Hello all,
Well I’m about 50 hours into w/d from a wicked Opana (oxymorphone) habit. (60mg a day insuffulated). Like most on here I started as simply as everyone else. Back injury, surgery, oxy’s yada yada yada…. I’m done with this crap. I had about a weeks worth of Opana left and flushed it. My mind has been numb for so long that I just dont even know who I am anymore. I have a beautiful fiance’ who has no clue of my habit, so I’m going this completely alone. I’m even sitting at work as I type this. W/d sucks but if I can make one suggestion to everyone its loperamide and zantac. At least for me it makes the w/d tolerable and I’m still able to function. Anyway, wish me luck and I wish all of you who are kicking the demon the best. God Bless.

Native,
I got through detox from taking 12 to 15 per day so it is possible though difficult. I used the Thomas recipe of vitamins and minerals and I have nothing to compare it with, but it helped having the regiment of taking the stuff and each day got better and better and your body gives up the craving after a while. Sleep depravity sucks and the restless legs are the worst but all and all I was over it in a week and went back to work after that. I was probably a sissy in the fact that I took a week off from work for “the flu” but is helped not having to put up with all that. Have you started yet….if not, just get prepared with all the stuff you will need per the Thomas Recipe and take a day at a time. You can do it – many on this site have got through to the other side of pill addiction so we know it is possible. Let me know if you have any questions – kittymom001@gmail.com and I would be very glad to help you.
Take Care
Good Luck
Kitty

Developed a little bit of a problem with lorcets and it’s been one year. Do about 4 a day….in order to safely get off this and not go insane is it recommended to seek medical assistance to ease the porcess. Tired and need to move pass this sh*t and get back to life on life’s terms. Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated-
