Hi Joe. Sorry to hear you're feeling so bad but glad that you're here. It sounds like you're dealing w/ some painful things right now and it's good to be among friends who understand and will support you. You'll find friends like that here.
You mentioned taking loratab for 8 months and then discontinuing recently. Do you think there may be a connection? I googled loratab and it seems to be Vicodin...is that correct?
That is a very addictive med and stopping suddenly could cause some of the problems you are experiencing. It may be a good idea to speak w/ a doctor about that. This may be easier to deal with than it seems.
I hope you decide to stick around and let us get to know you.
In the meantime take care and keep hope. I believe that you can pull through this.
