Loratab withdrawls

Can someone please help me out??? I’m 41 and have a wife that just realized that she was addicted to loratab - both mentally and phsycially. She is signing into a drug rehab but I was wondering if there is anything more I could do to help her... I mean, this morning when I was talking to her she was going through severa withdrawls. I think that she is up to 15 per a day!!

To be honest, what she needs most are your prayers, support and letting her know that you love her and that you will be with her all the way. The good think is that se signed ito a drug rehab – it is the only thing that will truly help her... But during rehabilitation she will need your support, love and understanding. That is all you can do to help her. Whis you both all the best... Keep strong.

i just stop having withdrawals from my hydrocodone addiction. Generally speaking vicoden,hydrocodone, loratab, are basically the same. the main thing for anyone, from my experience, can kick an addiction habit. Because for about 10 years now ive snorted a lot of pain pills. And recently i was snorting at least 10 hydrocodone 10mg a day. The first thing you have to do is want to stop. Then if you do then the main thing in non use is not to have it. Get away from the people who have it for awhile, at least 14 days. Keep your mind occupied on something, this is very important, because being away starts the process and then keeping your mind off of it ultimately does it. Dont sit around dwelling about all the things you lost and all the money you spent on it. Think about things you are going to do when its gone. You dont have to have it. Codeine is the addictive property in those. Your body turns codeine into morphine and morphineis what stimulates neurotransmitters to produces your bodys own pain killer,Dopamine. That is what actually gives you the sensation you get from the Loratab. Insomnia is one of the main withdrawals i experience, and its very important not to take other perscription medicaton for sleep. They are just as addictive. Ive been on the web a lot recently trying to find ways to help others. I hope this works for anyone who reads it, because its all mental. i am a strong believer that you can control yourself mental, if you try. Beacause ultimately who the one controling the intake of those. Get away from it for a while, and dont put yourself in the situation to get. you cant take if it isnt there. Make sure you eat and stay hydrated and take at least 3 warm to hot showers everyday until your done. warm showers make your body warm when the withdrawals are making your body cold and your sweating. Stop drinking carbonated drinks(soda) drink water and I used the Powerade Option. Make sure at drink some sort of sport drink for your electrolytes. And again keep your mind busy. look on the internet about the effects of codeine. And one last thing Loratab contains quite a large amount of acetimetiphine, and it has been proven to cause liver problems. so maybe try Motrin for headaches and fevers. If you snorted it, get 1 box of sudafed from pharmacy. ephedrine is not exactly good for you if abused and will keep you up more, but its honestly the only medicine i had ever found to help a sinus infection. dont get addicted to it take 1 every 12 hours like it says to do. Hang in there i hope this helps at least 1 person. i am now starting all over in life, i have nothing because i like the feeling, but do something you like and find that natural adrenaline rush because there isnt any drugs that give a high like that. good luck

thank you for your help i have a problem with pain meds as well im trying to kick it now but i feel as if i cant im so scard of what im about to go threw im gonna try to go cold turkey ive tryed so many times but fell every time what can i do to do it on my own please help me

I used to be hooked on pain killers. I took lortab, hydrocodone, and even oxycontin. I tried to wean off, that never worked. I tried cold turkey, that was pure hell. Like the other post, you have to want to get off of them, nothing can make you stop, if you dont want to. I finally had enough. So I went to my doctor, and told him. He put me on Suboxone. Wow, what a miracle drug that was, I never suffered any withrawals at all. I couldnt' belive it, i could still function, go to work, no shakes, shivers, diaraeha. None of that that usuall goes with getting off hydrocodone. I suggest anyone to take this drug. Its a wonder drug.

Have you tried to get off the suboxone yet? There will come a time when you need to get off that to! You need to feel the pain of withdrawls so that you don't go back to the pills. I was addicted to loratab, oxycontin, and methadone. I was up to as many as three to six 40mg oxycontin a day. I went to rehab and have been clean for a year. If you find the right rehab they will do whatever they can to make her as comfortable as possible, including give you suboxone when needed for the time needed. I feel that if she was to choose suboxone it would be trading one thing for another, but she would have a prescription.

im 26 and i dont know what to do to get off loratab 10 i have been taking them for almost 10 years im trying to see if a sllep aid will help i have not started yet but does anyone know how long and what i will be going through should i tell my doctor?

I am currently in my 4th day of cold turkey of 4 to 6 loratab aday. The first 3 nights have been hell. I lied to everyone and strategically setup for Thanksgiving weekend so I would have 5 days to beat this. I lied and told everyone I have a flu. I feel somewhat better today and hope tonight is easier.

Good luck to me and everyone.

This can happen to anyone, I am a successfule business person and Realtor.

I used to have a bad pill addiction. It started with snorting Tylox, usually 3-4 times a week. Before long, I was snorting 4-5 pills everything from Tylox to Oxycontin per day. At one point in time it was around 3 thousand a month work of money right up my nose. The way I kicked the addiction was completly removing myself from the people that were fueling my addiction. It was not easy but because I wanted to stop I was able to do so.

I am a 31 year old mother of 2. Today is my 3rd day of giving the lortab habiti up. This has been the worst experience of my life. I feel so weak., tired! All I can do is sleep. I am cravin for them. I have even called all the people I know to get them from buit my boyfriend has done made sure to let them know not to give me any. Theres one person I can go to but I am to weak to g. ALso I am fighting this craving with all I got. The main reason I gave up I realize all the money I was throwing away for them things. The doctors around here would rather watch you die in pain before they prescribe them to you. I was just wondering if anyone can tell me how much longer will thisshitty feeling last? I dont know how much longer I can hang on!
Please help
