Hey Ben!!
I am SOOOO proud of you for not taking that pill today!!!! ((((((((HUGS)))))))) I KNOW how hard it is. When I stopped taking Soma, I didn't sleep for 3 whole months. I was OBSESSED with getting more. Same with the Fiorocet. I didn't have the luxury of withdrawling off of them slowly.... both times I was caught with them & my family & the cops (2nd time) took them away. I was so sick the 2nd time, throwing up all night, sweats, shakes, night hallucinations.... it was awful!!
I've never taken Lortabs, but the best advice I can give you now, since you haven't taken any today, and the dosage is small is to just stop taking it. You should be fine. The only reason my symptoms were so severe was because I was on an extremely high dose and wasn't able to wean off, like you.
You said yourself in another post that you thought the cravings were pretty much all mental, didn't you?? So keep that in mind. IF you have the strength, flush those pills!! I myself could never do that, but I hope you can. You should be fine to completely stop taking them now.
As for your moods, that's perfectly normal.... I was moody as he!! for the longest time, lol. I don't know if there's a way around that one!! I'm on an anti-depressant and an anti-anxiety.... both non-narcotic. BUT.... they don't start to work for a few weeks after you begin taking them. IF you need them
Please keep posting here & let us know how you're doing. You're in my prayers Ben. I know first hand how impossible & overwhelming this seems. It's SO easy to just give in to the desire. Please don't. It just gets worse. Trust me on this. I almost died because of it. I don't want anything to happen to you.
