20 5/325 Norco a day-Withdrawls

Guest over a year ago

I am on 5/325 Norco for

Spine and Neck Pain. Legitimately prescribed from my neurosurgeon for pain. I get 180 a week.

I have been on Norco/Vicodin/Lortab etc for almost 2 years now.

Currently I have been taking between 18-22 5/325 Norco a day. Yes, for pain but obviously with this do it myself dosage it's also just for the benefit of euphoria. It has gotten out of control. I usually don't even know how many I take. All I know is I had a bottle of 45 on Friday midday filled and now I have none.

I had my last four last night about 10:00pm. I am currently in Hell, Hell that includes pain both physical and mental. It SUCKS!

Every part of my body hurts and burns on a scale of 10. My back feels like it is breaking from the outside in. My head hurts, my bones in my hand are in excruciating pain just typing this. I am sweating and then I start freezing. I feel like the back of my neck is so tense that it's going to some off. I want to sleep but I am wide awake. I am so blurry and unfocused that I am chugging Cherry Coke trying to "wake up." Is this what slowly dying feel like?

I am well aware NOW that the pills don't get me high anymore, they just make me feel functional. I am up to five pills at a time and I know soon it will go up. That scares me. I can't keep doing this.

I purposely didn't get a refill yesterday so I could get "clean" and start to wean off them and go back to two every four hours. Haha. Is this even possible? How do people do that?!

I have taken 8 Loperamide and two Dayquil to try to ease the pain and trick my body into feeling better. getting any benzo for anxiety is not possible. Any other ideas and things I can do to ease this Hell?

Also any info on weaning myself down tomorrow when I refill AND info on self control. Not letting the drug trick me into thinking, "Just a couple more and you'll feel great."

Thanks.

Unfortunatly you can't trick your body into feeling something that it is so used to having. I know how it can be to be addicted to something and having loved ones addicted to pain medication my advice to you then is if you have a loved one or someone you trust who does not take them, hold them for you and give you a reasonable dosage. I understand that you may not want to quit but if you have no self control entrust in someone who does. That way your medication can last longer before you run out and possibly lower your tolerance to maybe quitting in the future. Also if you can get a hold of suboxine that may help with the withdrawel.

If your dr.is prescribing 180-5/325 a week, I recomend you find another dr.He is frying your liver with that much tylenoll. That is crazy. You are telling me that he is giving you 25 a day? I going to pull a Dr. Phil. I dont buy that. It doesn't even make since. He is either a "pill mill" doctor or he has lost his mind.You may not want to hear this, but you know it is true. No dr. should be writing anything whether it is a 10/325, 7/325 etc etc.......more than 4 a day because of the tylenol. He would be better writing oxycodone 5 with no tylenol. My friend you have a bigger problem than withdrawels. I would be having a liver profile done to see how much damage has already been caused.............

Also, I would recommend getting a certifed dr. to start you on suboxone. They will try to tell you you need to start on 2 strips a day and wein down. That is BS. Start with a 1/3 or if that doesn't work use 1/2 strip. Go 2 weeks on this dose and cut 10% every 2 weeks until you are off. If you don't get on and off quick, you will become dependent on the suboxone and it is worse than withdrawel from the hydrocodone. If you will do it like I said above, you will not have any withdrawel symptoms at all. At the end of the suboxone you will have a couple of days of just not feeling well, but nothing severe enough to keep you from working, etc. Just don't feel good........ Good luck!!
