Thanks for your reply Caleb, I like your thread on the perfect anti depressant. I was reading it last night. When you make some can I be the first one to try it?
I have been on the Lortab for 6 weeks. Right now I am taking 15mg every 2 hours. Trying so hard not to. Yesterday I didn't take any until yesterday evening. I had to I was dying. Felt like it anyway. I haven't eaten any solids since the 14th. I drank some beef broth but it came up immediately. So I am living on Pepto and Lortab. Plus I take...Lamictal,Topomax,Restoril,Geodon,Synthroid and Zantac for ulcers.
I have lost 9 pounds not good for my 5'7" frame and my eyes look like Mike Tysons.
I dont want to tell my P-doc because I know he will suggest the lock up again. He has even threatened me that if I keep up using (I am also a drinker and smoker) that he may possibly drop me.I want to quit this on my own. While the dosage is low. I see the endodontist tomorrow, but just for a consultation. I have a heart problem so any medical problem patients have to have a consultation first. My actual appointment for tooth repair is Tuesday...which he will probably also put me on a pain killer. Hopefully I will not need it. But it is so tempting. And to have an excuse to take it doesn't help.
Is addiction a weakness on my part or an illness?
I love it and hate it at the same time. I have 3 small kids so I need to stop being so stupid.
