Hi I am new to this site. I have been addicted to pills for about two years now. I first started with just taking a few tylenol with codeine a day then went to vicodin then to percoset and norco. I am up to about 150 mg of hydro a day max,but now I am coming down from a 2 week binge of percs and norco.I have been trying to kick this habit for about six months now and the closet I came to it was recently I stayed off ops for 2 weeks, but I was taking gabapentin which helped me with the withdrawal a lot.
Last night was my second day off the norcs and percs and this time I didnt have the gabapentin to help and I can honestly say I seriously felt like dying. I was so restless kicking and wanted to scream so bad my whole body hurt. I got gabapentin today so I hope this will help me. I never though the withdrawal from pills would be so harsh I never had a physical withdrawal symtom before recently. I really want to stay off these pills,but I dont know how to do it on my own.I am 22 and shy when it comes to events such as rehab or any classes . I hope this site helps. Thanks
