Go and ask your doctor for help.
“In order to limit or avoid withdrawal symptoms, you should not stop taking Lortab cold turkey. Your healthcare provider can slowly decrease your dose at a rate that helps minimize withdrawal symptoms (most healthcare providers will be more than willing to help you stop taking Lortab). Remember, withdrawal is not necessarily a symptom of abuse, and you should not be embarrassed to ask for help in this matter.
