I have been reading these posts for 4 days now while tapering down off my Lortab 10/500s I've been taking for 3.5 yrs. now. My story is similar to a lot of viewers of this site. Like a lot of people I have legitamate pain that started this escapade. At one time I was going to 3 of those so called not so legitamate clinics, (very costly) I was spending about $400 a month on them until I got caught.
Now my "real" Dr. prescribes me 240 a month @ a 3 month script, which @ the time I saw as a major score. That was a year ago, well like everyone I started eating them like M&Ms and last month I went thru 480 tabs. Long story short, my wife figured it out and now has control of my consumption. (Which is probably a good thing) I told her I was really ashamed and irritated with myself for letting that happen. Absolutely NO self control.
I am currently down to 4 a day and working my way down to 0. I am 45 yrs. old and I've quit crystal meth, cocaine, weed, smoking cigarettes, even drinking all in the last 5 yrs. and by far this is the hardest. Hydrocodone is some bad s***. I have a 5 yr. old daughter who is the center of my world and the other day I couldn't take her to the park because I didn't have any pills, there goes my father of the year award right?
I have at least 3 times in that period edured the beginning of the WD and I wanted to die. You think you are okay when you are taking the pills and couldn't fathom getting that sick until you "run out". It forces you to realize you DO have a problem and this illness is all the result of what you think is your "Best Friend" while experiencing that buzz we all like.
It's NOT. It's your worst enemy pretending.
The best advice I read on this site is the tapering method, it's working for me so far. F*** that withdrawal c**p. Can't deal with that. And if anyone has any other home remedies I would appreciate them, thanks.
Hang in there people, at least reading these postings I don't feel like I'm the only one with this horrible problem. Good Luck!

I wonder if regular exercise may help you wean yourself from your dependency. I have read that acupuncture may also be helpful.
