can lortab withdrawls cause death?

I am so disgusted with myself for ever taking this pain medication. I feel that it has given me energy. when I run out of the pills I get very week and tired and go hunting for them. I will go 2 or 3 days before I can find a few till I get my perscription. I start feeling bad and the thought of being without them consumes me. I read the postings and felt better to know I am not alone. I felt better when I read that I will feel better without them and regain my old natural energy back one day. I have got to make up my mind that cold turkey is what I have to do. I just hope I can keep up with all that I have to do. I am not a young person and I still have to support myself and my 9 year old niece. I also have my husband who is disabled. I think I have thought too much about the withdrawls and how sick I am going to be to carry on. Please pray that I can do it.

i am a mother of two who is a recovering crack addict of 4 years...... i lost my kids my life my family and my soul to cocaine.. but after 2 years of being clean of cocaine, i went to the dentist & was prescribed lortab 10/500mg. I started out with 1-2 a day now i can take up to 20-25 a day. i cant stop. i have tried but only made it to day 2 before getting more off the street. it is such an expensive habit and it is ruining my relationship with my husband and my life seems to be spiraling out of control again. i have read A LOT of posts and see that most everyone says by day 4 you will begin to feel normal agin. i am the same the sweats and that uneasy feeling in my stomach, the tingiling in your head,body aches , and the worst NO ENERGY! i feel i cant care for my kids without them.. i mean i cant even barely get out of bed in the mornings. i know if i can stop smoking crack i should be able to stop this BS. i am scared to stop cold turkey and have heard a lot about suboxone and am curious about it. but i am very scared to let a doctor know i have been buying them off the streets and am addicted to them and want to stop. i am scared because i cant let anyone know or there is a chance my kids could be taken from me again. PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO BRING THIS UPTO A DOCTOR OR HOW I CAN STOP AND NOT BE AFRAID GOD BE WITH ME AND PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME GOOD ADVICE!

I have been on lor tabs for almost 9 months now due to a serious back injury. at first i was going through 60 7.5s a week, then my doctor upped my dose to 10mg and i get 120 per month. So i was taking a c**p load of tabs. I cant feel anything if I dont take atleast more than 6 10mg at a time. This is my 3rd day of not taking any and let me say the first 3 days are the hardest, i mean seriously. I get aggitated at the easiest thing and just feel like hitting a wall. I have restless legs and arms, and I wanna just die. This withdrawls are by far the hardest thing i have done in my life. But i get 120 lor tabs a month and with the pain I am still having I cant say that i wont take them again in the week or so I get them. Just deal with the sweating,puking,insomnia, pooping on yourself and try to seclude yourself from others cause they will see you and ask you whats wrong and just talking about the withdraws makes you want to find more. Stay in bed, I find that advil PM works quite well, dont take tylenol pm cause it has acetopetophin in it and another drug that reacts to the lor tabs and your withdraw symptoms will be worse. Advil PM is ibuprofen and works good for me.

It seems like many people experience this, but no true answers, besides the hot baths. Which I  am sitting in one right now. So, first this is something you have to want - And I mean truly want!! Or else you wont make it. I think the worst is my stomach. I bleed everytime I go to the bathroom. I read to remember the BRAT diet. Bananas, rice, apples, and toast. So Im trying to do that but Im not sure if it helps. Good luck to everyone 

Well, it is like this for me, my wife had some back surgeries and got ahold of the good stuff.  My back hurts constantly and she would tell me to try some of her pain meds.  then I ended up in a pain clinic, getting shots, and scripts for pain pills.  Up to 3 lortab 10 a day.  Ocassionaly I may do 4 or 5.  But, stopping them???  I hurt my thumb, and they did surgery.  I screamed because no pain pill known to man would help that pain.  after that, when I got well, I decided that pain pills were for when you really needed them.  While on them, I took my other medicines, Klonopin, ambien, Gabapentin, Keppra, and did not tell my family.  We went out, and while leaving, somehow I had drank some tequila, and gained the keys.  I outran the law, went to jail for fleeing and eluding, and DUI, 2 counts each.  All of it has ruined my life.  Not to mention, as everyone says, withdrawal from Hydro is bad, and oxy is just as bad.  But, sometimes you may need help, it is dangerous to stop taking 15 tabs in one handfull and not have a doctor to help you. 

And if you hang with other people who are helping you get the drug, or other ways of getting you money, they may have to go as well for you to get clean.

No one said it would be an easy road.  I am no where clean my self.  but I am proud to say that I only use around 5 a week after a hard few work days.  I am vowing not to get up to my 8 or 9 a day I had when I hurt my thumb.

So you see, withdrawal could be the easy part, look at me, I can't vote, have a gun, drive again, I am a felon, and luckily I did not hit or kill anyone or my own family that night.

Do not destroy your life...GO TO REHAB...your home and family will be proud, and be there to support you.

I have been taking loratbs about twenty a day. It is kiling me.... I am an alcoholic and have had borderine serociss of the liver. I am twenty eight years old.. I have a child that I dont want to grow up without a mom.. During my drinking Iwas already an absent mother.. I went to treatment about a year and a half ago. I stayed for 90 days and that is the longest I have been off of them in 10 years.. I have not been drinkin since then. Thank God. None of my friends and faily know that I am back on them.. I can't tell them either because everybod thinks I am great. I feel like they are always in my mind. I feel like they control my life. All my money goes towards them as well.. I am thinking about trying suboxen.. My liver cannot take mch more and neither can I.. I wish you luck..

VITAI know no one wants to hear this but the best thing is go into a place for detoxing my daughter was hooked for years and that was the only thing that helped her. Don't be ashamed Your at the first stage and that is getting help!!! You can do this. Your family will stick with you cause you are realizing whats happening to you!! I am about to go myself cause I have been on painkillers for 8 yrs cause of one reason or another car wreck headaches because of car wreck and 3 knee surgeries I started having the same fears and now know thats where its the safest place to start!!!! God Bles You Do it if not for your self but your baby my daughter has lost all 4 of her children.

Hey all, ive been taking opiates for about 7 years now. I've gotten to the point to where I can take 8-10 of the 10/325 a day. I've quit 2 times the past 3 years. And every time I start back its even harder to quit. I'm not ashamed that I've become an addict, just feel like I SHOULD be ashamed. Its like once you get soo deep into them you lose your conscience and sense of self. I've stolen them, stolen money for them and even ran away from my own wife and claimed to be out on business so I could bail out and go on a binge. It all started with taking the codeine syrup theyhad given me for strep throat, then just kind of escalated to the point where I wanted to try something different than hydrocodone and went to oxycontin. Ivwas snorting a half at first then went to a whole 30mg every 7 to 8 hrs. I had recently injured my back and neck working offshore and I now have a legit reason to take the pain meds. Dont get me wrong but I love the fact that I have a legitimate reason to take the pills but I'm disgusted that I have to take them at the same time. Just recently I have decided to completely quit it all cold turkey and do away with the poison. Which leads to my purpose of writing thisto everyone to see. I cannot take these pills with me offshore because there are people out there that are just like I was as far as stealing them. So I managed to plunge into an amazing workld of research and development. I've seen where people have been using this "Plant" to kick thier opiate adiction and even get off of mthadone, saboxone and even heroin! The plant is called "Kratom". I've been experimenting with it lately and I CAN say it does deliver what it is intended to do. Dont go looking for it to give you a high because it does not do that. It simply makes your body think you are on opiates so youbdont have the withdrawals and its not addictive itself. It cures chronic pain, migraines, fatigue, muscle spasms and many other disabilitiesnlike fibromyalgia. It really is a miracle plant. People who are wanting to kick the habit I strongly suggest you google this and do your homework with it, find where you can purchase it, and begin your new life. I wish you all the best in the world and I appreciate your hospitable time. But please remember like i said, please don't go into this plant thinking you will be able to replace the high because it doesn't do that. Use it wisely and responsibly. It may save your life.

I also wanted to add this, the less amount of the kratom you take, the better chances you have of kicking the habit. I beat the w/d's and cravings with this amazing god send plant. It truly is a sacred herb. It IS legal in the U.S so don't be afraid of it. It will not show in a drug test either. So no one even has to know you are using it to kick the addiction.

I have been taking lortab 10 for most likely 10 years. I took them like i was suppose to, then it wasn't enough. so instead of taking 2 3 times a day. It took 4 10s at a time. I am tired of fighting this problem. I have just made my mind up that enough is enough. I can't afford to go to rehab so i have got to do this on my own. Today is my first day, i feel like sh**t and don't know what to do. I need some good advise. I hope my family will stand behind me, i can't do anything except stay in bathroom throwning up and other things too. How long this last? i have a lawn business and have got to get back on my feet.
