I have been battling this addiction for over 4 years now. I started out taking a 1/2 of a 500mg vicodin once a week, just when I got a really bad tension headache. I quickly realized I felt “good” when I took them, so gradually started taking more often. That continued for about a year & a 1/2. Then I got pregnant. I was able to stop cold turkey, however I did take a total of about 5 pills throughout my whole pregnancy when aches & pains were really bad. I have always had a high tolerance for pain medications, so otc tylenol DOES NOT help me. So the minute you deliver a baby, guess what, they prescribed me a shiny new rx for darvocet. So since the day my baby was born in Aug. of ’07, I have not had 1 clean day. I have extreme depression, & little to no help or support from my husband. The pills make me feel not so sad, & gave me the energy I needed to “handle my business”. Over time my habit has increased tremendously..& I’m now taking at least 20 10/325mg Norco daily. I do have my own rx, but that lasts me all of 4 or 5 days, so then I start my “hunt” for a score. I buy 4 different peoples rx’s & am spending over $700 monthly on just the pills. Not to mention that while I’m on pills I smoke a pack a day, drink red bull & Starbucks like there’s no tomorrow, & have manic shopping habits. I have NO self control. My habit is costing my family everything we have. We can longer pay our bills, & my kids don’t have a mommy. The energy the pills used to give me went away a long time ago, now I barely have the motivation to shower. I can’t live like this anymore.
I have hit my bottom, & I HAVE to quit.
We can’t afford rehab, & my husband makes to much $$ to qualify for any special “scholarships”…so basically I’m screwed. The other night I decided to talk to my G’pa about helping us to pay for a detox program. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. My G’pa thinks so highly of me, & to tell him that I’m a drug addict was so painful. He has bailed us out sooooo many times financially in the past, he just can’t afford to pay for it. I should’ve asked him for help a long time ago…but…woulda, coulda, shoulda isn’t going to help now.
So I basically “told on myself” so now I have no other option BUT to quit. Since I can’t afford to pay for rehab, I have to do this at home. The plan is, my mom & husband are going to take a week off work & basically nurse me back to health…but I’m SCARED!!! I’ve heard so many horror stories.
I’m writing this in hopes that someone out there has some advice for me. I’m terified of the pain, diahrrea, nausea, bone aches, insomnia…all of it. I’ve read all these “recipes” that are supposed to help with wd symptoms, but believe it or not, I’m scared of taking drugs…I know funny right. I would like to be able to do this with ibuprofen, tylenol pm, immodium, & hot baths….but is that just ridiculous for me to even think that possible?? I don’t want to use suboxyn, or valium or any other substance to wd because my addictive personality will become addicted to them..I just know it.
If anyone out there has any advice for me..PLEASE help. I’m planning to do this the week after Thanksgiving, I would like to be back to my normal self by Christmas.

My husband and I keeps getting into little arguments about nothing really. I get upset about the smallest things. He says im happy one second and mad the next and that hes getting frustrated. I end up feeling guilty and that its always my fault. I mean i don’t mean to snap at him, but he doesn’t seem to understand. Any advice to give would be appreciated.

I’m 21 and I have been out of work and school and barely able to drive for the last 8 months for my panic disorder/ severe depression…I went to the hospital last night because
i felt really sick and found out I was 5 weeks 4 days pregnant..I had no idea because I was still having my menstrual..I’ve been on ativan for the last 8 months b/c I havent found a med for my panic/depress. and its keeping me somewhat stable until I found a med so I could get my life back..I’m so scared and idk what to do everyone saying I should get an abortion so I can get myself better but I really dont believe in that but I dont know what to do..I wouldnt be able to support the baby right now b/c im unable to work due to my severe panic and stuff..
i smoke and i’ve been taking ativan this whole time and didnt know I was pregnant and im worried its harmed the baby and I’ve been on it for 8 months and I know coming off of it causes seizures..any advice would be greatly appreciated..thx

I did not get a baby shower because MY family lives 3K miles away and there was so much jealousy and drama over pregnancies in my husband’s family that caused problems throughout my pregnancy that I was uncomfortable having a shower thrown for me when the only guests would be his family – WAY awkward. I had not lived in my new town long enough to have developed any friends close enough to throw me a shower. My MIL would have thrown one but she would have driven a long distance and really her kids (other than hubs) were the ones I was at odds with AND the only guests other than his sister, mother and dad’s girlfriend would have been the brother’s inlaws. My decision not to have one wasn’t because I didn’t want one but because it would have been painful and awkward. Nonetheless, that this was the lesser of the two evils (not having one) has been a source of great pain for me to the point that now that the sister is pregnant and having showers I am so resentful. There is a lot to this story that I can’t type here because it is just too long and involves a lot of jealousy over my getting pregnant first which is so sad and rediculous.

Every time I look in my son’s baby book and see the absence of a shower I feel depressed and miserable to the point of bitterness.

Lately I’ve been getting abnormal symptoms since Wednesday (the 31st)… High depression, intestinal upset (burning, cramping), stomach upset, heartburn, and nausea. Normally I get intestinal upset the day before and during my period. I am gluten and lactose intolerant but I know for sure I didn’t eat any of it (and I used lactaid). The depression strikes me as odd because I am not under any stress at all, in fact I’m really quite bored lately. I eat perfect… chicken once a week, lots of fruits and veggies, raw nuts, sugarless peanut butter, brown rice… I drink my 8 glasses of water practically every single day. I am hypoglycemic but my blood sugar is very stable. Also, I’m chemically sensitive but I know I haven’t been exposed to anything abnormal.

I cannot explain why or how these symptoms are coming about. Could pregnancy be a possible issue? I have VERY irregular periods so I never know when or how long it’s coming. I had my last period starting on the 13th, and intercourse on the 20th and 27th. I was very careful and used condoms (none showed signs of tears). Could pregnancy even be possible with that small time frame? If so… when and how do you test? Or is it best to just wait out the whole month of april until I get a period? Could it be something else entirely?

my husband crazy probably….im irrational, happy one minute and lowest of the low the next…any ideas?

The process of becoming a mother involves a certain amount of psychological strain for a pregnant woman. In fact, for some women, childbirth can be as traumatic as life-threatening events such as a natural disaster or a war. During pregnancy, it is important for the to-be mother’s family members and close ones to support her as required.
