Hi I know there's a million threads on withdrawing and they've been really helpful.heres my question and story
I've been taking 30-60mg hydrocodine for the past 5 months and its starting to ruin my social life and my bank account.all I wanted to do was go home and take pills and chill at home.well it's time for me to quit because i just got screwed over in a deal and before I start moving on to other drugs since hydrocodine dosnt do nothing to me no more besides make me feel normal.
I have 1 10/500 Watson left and I plan on taking it tonight.
I have some more pills that I've been hoarding because I knew that I was going to quit eventually.
I have 2 750mg methocarbamol
3 ibuprofen 850mg a peice that my mom gave me which she gets prescribed for arthritis.
And I have 2 1mg Xanax
And I'm also going to go buy some loperamide since a lot of people says it helps..

Ok question is how do I use these pills and get the best out of them?
Should I use the methocarbamol first?or Xanax first?lopermide first?and how long should I wait after taking my last hydro pill before I start useing these pills?
Thanks
 
What you have is a muscle relaxant (methocarbamol), a benzodiazepine (alprazolam), and hydrocodone.

I would leave the muscle relaxant out of the equation until your done with the hydrocodone. Maybe split it into two halves and use it for one day as a step down drug.

Following that (the next day) use 0.5 mg alprazolam x 2 daily for 2 days, and 2 x 750 mg methocarbamol for 1 day.

This is the best possible utilization of these medications that you could possibly muster up. They're not much, so use them wisely to get over the first days of acute withdrawal.

Good luck.
 
i usually find that 8-12mg of loperamide help tremendously the first few days of withdrawal, but that's just a suggestion.

i have a similar tolerance/habit/addiction/whatever, so you can use that as a stepping stone. don't take it for too long though, your body can become dependent on that too.
 
Thanks chromophobia..I took my last hydrocodone 10/500 15 hours ago..do you think I should take 1 of the methocarbamol pills now or should I wait?im starting to feel like crap but I think I can handle it for maybe another 10 hours(I'm working a double shift at work today)
I only have 2 Xanax and 2 methocarbamol pills

I just want to make sure that this is immdioum?right?
I was looking for loperamide at Walmart this morning and I couldn't find any but after some google searches it said that immdioum is the same thing

Well I just deleted all of the 5 pill dealers out my phone so I won't cave in and call them..I felt good doing that but now I'm starting do regret it..anyways now I'm stuck because there's no way to get intouch with them with out there numbers in my phone.fuck that shit I think I know i can do this

I would initiate the mentioned regimen as soon as you feel the withdrawal kicking in with some force. 15 hours is probably ideal for that but if you can handle another 15 hours it would do your ration a world of good.

Imodium is just a brand name for loperamide, so they are indeed the exact same thing. Usually people buy generics because it's much cheaper. The loperamide can wipe out most of the withdrawal symptoms but be very wary of the dosing as if you take too much it could end up extending your withdrawal symptoms.
 
Ok I think I'm Gona try and tough it out with out useing the Xanax I have very low tolorence and last time I was on Xanax I woke up at a red light with 10 police cars surrounding me..so I don't think takeing it during the day would be good for me.
Now lets just say I complete this withdrawl process and a week or 2 later I decide to take 1 or 2 hydrocodne just for the fun of it,will I have to repeat the whole withdrawl process over?i can't afford to get sucked in this mess again so I highly doubt ill take them again but it's just something I was thinking about earlier

Unfortunately it's highly likely that it could trigger some form of withdrawal again, and prolong post-acute-withdrawal symptoms. In addition to that, chipping rarely works post-addiction.
 
Boy boy boy, here we are 6 months later, went from 30mg of hydrocodone a day to 220mg of OXY/ROXYS a day, empty bank account and all I have left is 1 more 30mg of roxy left..
My connect went to jail and im assed out and will be forced to go cold turkey..the longest ive been clean for was the 8 hours that I sleep a day and wake up feeling sick as hell..I cant imagine the pain im about to go thru..this is gona suck BIG TIME..im so dumb I shoulda quit when I posted this thread...
Wish me luck..
Real quick, im not sure how to explain this part of withdrawl but when evee it starts kicking in my body feels very twitchy while laying down and I stretch alot to the point that it hurts, is this something I have to deal with or can I take some vitamins or something to stop this?
Ps.going to the doctors office is pretty much out the question, I actually dont even have a doctor that I go to..when ever I did have to visit a doctor its useally threw the ER so im out of luck with anything otc that can help me threw withdrawl.

get some loperamide. do some research on how to use it properly and it can save you a lot of the discomfort. if you're itching, take an anti-histamine, preferably hydroxyzine.

if you do happen to run into some money, definitely see a doctor and invest in some pregabalin (lyrica). it erases most of the withdrawal symptoms.
 
Well guys that 30mg habibit turned into a full blown 300mg plus oxycotin habibit..im on day 5 of WITHDRAWL and it has been very hard but yesterday( the 4th day) I started to feel very good and I didn't even want to be near any pills..BUT I screwed up big time today..pill man called me and I brought a 30 from him and took half..im looking at the other half now as I type this and am wondering if I should throw it away or not..the reason I got clean was because i came to terms that I am an Adict..im 30?years old and sence 15 years old I have never went to sleep sober..I would either pass out drunk or on Ecticy pills or lsd etccc...im 30 and it's time for me to admit I'm an addict (which I have last week)and get off of all drugs completely...
Anyways now that I've broke my 5 day sober period by takeing a half of 30 oxy,I am TERRIFIED That im going to have to start over in withdrawls,please God no...another reason I had to quit is because Monday I have to head out over seas to a place that is DRUG FREE and probably only has some low grade maryjane(which I don't smoke anymore because it makes me paranoid for some reason)..good thing is that I'll be gone for 2 months but last time I went overseas I had enough pills to last UNTILL i headed out and i withdrawled on the plane coming back WORSE FEELING IN THE WORLD,being stuck on a plane for 18 hours withdrawling..fucccc im so god damn stupid I wish I didn't take that oxy and stayed clean
 
Oh also I know some of you guys will probably give me a lecture but I cold Turkey a 4 bar XANAX a day habbit and im on week 3 with that..week one and 2 was hell and to be honest I probably caught a seizure and didn't even relize it,im not sure but from reading up all the XANAX withdrawl threads,I had it in my mind that I was going to catch a seizure if i CT XANAX..I just remember on day 6 that I went home and everything got very fuzzy so I laid on the floor and next thing I know I wake up 5 hours later..not sure if I passed out or if I caught a seizure but I'm glad I'm over XANAX and on week 3
 
Im clean now and will be FORSURE for the next 2 months which should be enough time for my brain to forget about all opeites..im suffering from really bad insomnia,Im only ably to sleep 15-20 mins a night and it's starting to make me feel burnt out..ever night I tell my self im goin to sleep all night but it never happens..tried all the over the counter stuff and still not working
 
If you're not working at the moment. Cold turkey with food, fluids, and hot showers helped me along with loperamide. It will suck, but it will be at the comfort of your own home. If you're working though, speak with a doc about your situation. Just think of it as a food bourne illness. Keep your mind off of your fix if you're not working at the moment or were able to get off work for a bit. I hope you really are off the xanax. You can't cold turkey that if it's severe
