Hey, everyone, don't know if ya remember me or not but Hi! I've tried to quit before and that was only because I ran out of them. This time it's conscious decision. I've been on about 5-6 10mgs of Lortab a day since late 2003ish. Today is day 2 of cold turkey. I pretty much knew what to expect symptom wise, but the depression, no energy/motivation, and cravings are driving me absolutely f'n nuts! I feel like I lost my best friend. I do get 7.5's for rx'd for chronic back pain and pain from a possible ovarian cyst. But also have access to the 10's. The worst part of it all is 2 family members that I live with are prescribed Lortabs! I can't move out. That is NOT an option. And it's the other people's house. I'm in the middle of getting on disabilty for Bipolar/OCD...you name it. Hubby is also in the midst of a disabilty claim because he is Bipolar too...with some built up rage.

Anyhoo, When ya'll were on Lortabs or other opiates like it, did it make you gain weight and a belly? I don't eat much when I full of Lortabs.

Please share your 2 cents because I need to read 'em. I'm NOT seeing the light at the end of the table. Not even a glimmer. I need someonr to tell me that it will get better. I've been depressed since I was a child and now going through these w/d is making me depressed times 10.

Thanks for reading my story. Any advice and reassurance that it does get better much appreciated. :praying
