Help With Opiate Withdrawals , OTC Meds Only!?
Question by Laina: Help with opiate withdrawals , OTC meds only!?
I’m trying to quit cold turkey here (no methadone, no bupes). I am not a crazy drug addict or anything. I have just been taking Norco/Lorcet (depending on which of my two doctors I go to) for around 4 years. I’m tired of feeling worried and anxious when I run out, which I always do. Not because of abuse, but because of the doctor’s instructions on taking it and how often he/she will prescribe it. Norco is supposed to last two weeks, which is does, but I cannot afford to go to my doctor every two weeks. Lorcet lasts longer, since it has less dosages, but it is even worse. I run out, but I am scripted THIS by my OBGYN (I have very bad endometriosis) and she charges insane prices just to have her check out my female parts and write a prescription. Hundreds of dollars for a few minutes of uncomfortable examination and a script.

I’m Trying to Stop Smoking, Will It Get Easier?
Question by rileymorgan: I’m trying to stop smoking, will it get easier?
I’m on day one of my attempt to quit smoking, it’s been about 12 hours since I had a cigarette. It sucks, but the worst thing was that I was mean most of the evening. I am keeping busy, but feel like I stop and think “I’m going to get up and get a cigarette”..then I remember I can’t. This happens about 10 times every 5 minutes.
Will this go away, or even lighten up? Seems like the mean/grumpiness and the mistaken thoughts that its time to smoke are all that are getting to me, but it’s really irritating.

It will when you’re over it. Good to hear that you’re quitting cold turkey, that’s the way to do it!
