A little preface...I was taking between 50-80 mgs of hydro for about 2 years. Last May, I decided to kick the nasty habit as it was destroying my relationships, money, etc. This stupid shit controlled me. I went cold turkey because I didn't have it in me to taper, and I also had a big drug test coming soon and no script. Long story short, after 5 days of absolute hell, and lots of help from bluelighters, I had kicked it. It took another week or two to really get over the mental issues, but within a month, I was clean! I stayed clean for about 6 months, and besides the occasional urge to take some, I was fine. I had gotten married, started a new job, bought a new house, got my wife pregnant!
THEN...about 5 months ago, I started having really bad hip pains, diagnosed as bursitis. Might not sound it, but it's really painful! Anyway, the doc prescribed me, you guessed it, my DOC. I got 30 10mg hydros every 10 days, then eventually went to PM, and got 60 7.5s every month. For the first few months, I did well. I might have taken a few extra every now and again, but I was handling it ok. Then the shit hit the fan. I slowly felt myself slipping back into it, and I could do nothing! At least it didn't take me two years this time, only 5 months or so at about 50-70 mgs a day, but I'm on day 3 and I feel ok. Much better than day 3 last time! I guess the length of taking them really matters?
I've seen many people talk about how Loperamide (Imodium) will cure almost all of your WD symptoms. As my wife didn't know I had a problem, I didn't want to be laying around for a week like last time, so I decided to try it, and although I have definitely felt like shit, it has been much milder than last time. I've read some people who take like 20-30 2 mg pills twice a day, and I'm not brave enough for that. I've taken like 5-6 pills a day for the last few days, and I want to know if I'm setting my WDs back since it is an opioid?
Any chemists/pharmacologists or people who are more informed, can you please help me?
