I hope there is someone out there who can help me. I have been addicted to lortabs for several years. I have taken up to 15 lortab 10's a day!! Approximately three days ago I stopped cold turkey. I was so depressed and realized that they were controlling my life. Every day I woke up wondering if I had enough pills to get me through the day. Well, by the second day off the pills I was having withdrawl symptoms so severe I couldn't handle it. So I went to see a detox doc. He put me on clomidin,phenobarbitol and a cramping med. He assured me these would help me get through. But,,,I am fighting this every day and night, at night I can't sleep. My legs ache so badly that I toss and turn until I get up. During the day I have anxiety so bad I feel like I am going to die. I still think every day that I need the pills. I originally started on them because of two herniated disc's in back and I have also been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my spine. I am in sooo much pain!! I don't know if I can make it through this. Please help!!!!!
