My dad is a high profile counseler in the Northeast, he says it's not a good idea to try to quit smoking while trying to quit a differernt addiction (habit).
Try quitting smoking after you successfully quit the pills.
I know you got it in ya, best of luck, and God speed.
I'm smelling success for you.

Cuse,
Hydrocodone? If so how many mg's per day?
I've got a real bad back (2x ruptured disks) and had been on legit prescribed Lortab's 7.5mg 4x/day, Flexerol 10mg 3x/day and Naproxen 2x/day for about 8 months at the time. About a year ago I had a "good" month and didn't feel much pain in my back. I got to thinking that maybe I didn't need to take the pain killers anymore, so I took my normal dose on a Wednesday and figured there would be a small withdrawl but nothing I couldn't handle. Well, i was fine on Thursday, but Thursday night rolled around and I couldn't sleep. I started getting the shits at about 3am on Friday and I couldn't get off the toilet for most of the day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I lost over 30 pounds in three days (from 250 to 220) and was dehydrated beyond all belief since I couldn't keep anything down. Late Saturday night I gave up and took the meds. Besides my back feeling on fire, the withdrawl symptoms were killing me. I finally was able to keep down Gatorade on Sunday but didn't eat hard food until the following Thursday.
That was only on 30mg a day. I've seen Oxy's at 40mg per tablet - so if you're taking a few of those a day lookout.
Either way, I wouldn't recommend trying anything by yourself. Look into a doctor and get Subutex to help.

I wish it was hydrocodone...its the latter...and I know what Im in for...its been about a yr to 18 month habit...I have tried kicking it before but I didnt give it my all...I said Id like to stop and tried but didnt really set my mind to it. Id give in after a week or two but I am really trying to kick this habit. Its approx 100-180mg a day habit. I know people who do close to 500mg a day. Quite frankly im surprised that person is still alive. Anyways. Its a journey im prepared for (the first week-10 days is the hardest) Ive been there before....Im prepared for a week long flu. Thats exactly what withdrawls feel like. Everything hurts, live on the toilet, dehydrated, chills (which is the worst part IMO), restless legs...its tough but its something that can and will be done....NO doctor or medicinal help is needed...I can get a couple suboxen..thats probably the route I will go. Im gonna taper this week..150--125--100--75--50--25--25 and then hopefully 8 days of suboxen...look to be totally clean by OCT 1st...thank god I have a job where I can just kick back and relax
Good luck Cuse. I would probably try to stretch that out for a MUCH longer period of time. Maybe wean over a month or so. Get down to 25 a day for a week then go to 10 a day for another week then 5 a day for the last week then goto the Subutex.
Watch out man - that Dehydration can kill you - literally and figuratively. I would really think of bringing in the family dr, hell even a "free clinic" or checking into an outpatient rehab. If you're going to stop the pills do it the right way with people supporting you.

I'll be honest with you.I had a $180 a day heroin habit and it took me almost 6 months before i got a good nights sleep.It will be rough, go to a na meeting let the 12 step freaks tell you your not alone, leave the rest
You will feel rotten but as long as you drink water your not REALLY gonna die

haha...Im not in deep enough where it affects my life (gambling decisions). Im a functioning, business owning part of society. I dont harm others, I wont drag anyone down. DOnt worry belly.
and like I said ive dealt with the withdrawls a few times in my life. Its not fun but it only lasts about 10 days and then it gets much easier. Not worried about the dehydration as weaning will keep something in my system and when I get to suboxon (the miracle drug) I wont be having the major symptoms.

ya sorry about that smu tt. I was on the right side IMO though. 5 turnovers in the first half I believe does not help. I looked for Jones to turn to WILLIS as I knew Bo Levi was gonna have issues with the Tech Defense. He has a personal vendetta with Willis I guess. I mean you have an all conference performer from a year ago sitting on your bench. Why not turn to him when your starting QB throws 5 picks??? It's beyond me. With the exception of that game and two teasers (which I never ever ever do) I am actually having a great season. I like a lot of plays in the coming week. A lot of live dogs this weekend.
Considering your daily OC amount, your withdrawal shouldn't be too bad. It will be bad but I was at 1,100 mgs./day at my worst and I almost died going through w/d. You'll feel it but if you starty taking Suboxone about 24-36 hours after your last OC you should be okay, relatively speaking.
Tapering is a good move and Suboxone is incredibly effective if you stick with it. If you can get a steady supply of Subs then it will be a lot easier sticking with it.
Good luck cuz, shit ain't easy but it is doable.
