Common Questions and Answers about How long does hydrocodone withdrawal last

vicodin

First, can someone point to a reliable web site where they list the symptoms? Second, how long I can expect this general lousy feeling last? And last, how long will it take to get back to a feeling where I want to do more than just lay around all day? Thank you all in advance for answering my questions.

Taking 10 30mg per day for 2 months, 6-7 30mg for two months,prior to that using 5-10 Norco 10/325 for 18 months. Can anyone estimate how long the major withdrawals will last if I go cold turkey? I am so terrified but have GOT to do this now. I have Clonodine, Clonazepam, Ambien, Neurontin and Lyrica to help me through. I am scared I will die. I've heard anywhere from 5days of hell to a whole month. Can anyone who's been on a similar dose help me with an estimate? grateful to hear from anyone.

i don't like the feeling i keep getting, i asked him when the withdrawls would stop he said they last for a week to a week and a half? (does anybody know how long they last? was he correct?) i told him its been over 2 weeks.. he said it's not withdraws mabe i have anxiety problems? he told me to check on how long the withdrawls last cuz he might be wrong on that. does anybody know how long withdrawls will last? is he right about the anxiety, if he is what do i do for that?

It does getter better and better each day but sleep is still pretty hard and i have 24 days .How many did you take before u cut down this last time ? how long have you been feeling like this? I recommend buying some good vitamins from GNC , i bought tons of vitamins and drank a ton of water and it really helps .

Can trying to get off hydrocodone cause severe chest discomfort. Does anybody know the Thomas recipe? I have been reading old post?

It does sound like it could be withdraw symptoms. Usually withdraw last about 7 days. The worst days are days 3-4. Just let him know that things will get better. Luckily he was not on the meds for very long so his withdraw will not be as severe as other peoples on here. He should be fine in no time.

It does depend on how long you were on the meds. It sounds like classic withdrawal, which CAN also cause muscle cramps/aches, sleplessness and depression. The symptoms each can vary in their intensity and duration. If you are not trying to recover as many do by "going cold turkey", you may want to be weaned off a little more gently and slowly so the discomfort is not so apparent. You might talk with your doctor about this.

You should be about half way through the withdrawals. You were on them a long time, however your dose was low. Hopefully, your withdrawals shouldn't be too bad. When I quit I was taking over 30-10mg pills per day. The fatigue that comes with withdrawal does go away, I promise! I am 43 days clean and have all the energy that I had back before I started using...in fact it seems I have more energy than when I was using because the hydrocodone was making me tired.

The physical symtoms go pretty quick but the mental struggle is the worse for me. It depends on how long she was on them too. I had a lot of panic with my withdrawals which was by far the worse thing for me. It has improved over time. My ears still ring a little. I haven't had as much motivation either but the physical part won't last that long. It is flu season and it is going to feel like she has the flu.

I need to know what to expect though and how long these symptoms will last. I also developed cold-like symptoms today - can't quit sneezing. Is all of this normal? How long will it last? Anything I can do to ease the physical and psychological discomfort? Any advice greatly welcome. Thanks.

I can continue tapering - do you think this is better? It is 2pm and I have had one pill, down from taking 10 three days ago. I don't feel particularly well but I do not feel like I have the flu. I have been taking Hydro since last summer. Should alcohol be avoided?

My space is running thin, so I'll get my question out there. How long will this withdrawal last? I had some hydrocodone last night, but today I'm clean and already feel like sh*t!!!!

Or more than likely Thursday before they really appear?? Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to get a feel for how long the methadone will hold off the withdrawals.

Has anyone ever experienced the following symptoms during hydrocodone withdrawal: dilated pupils, nervousness, cold hands, sweating and talking about things which make absolutely NO SENSE. My husband is recovering from surgery and has stopped taking the pain medication. Last night, he began talking nonsense. He is also having vivid dreams that he swears are reality. I don't know if he is hallucinating or what but it is very scary. Can anyone shed some light on this? What can I do for him?

What should I be expecting and about how long does it last, I don't want to slow my dosage down I'd rather quit all together but is it safe?

I beleive having a partner to get through these days and long nights with will be helpful. You asked how much I had been taking? At one time lots, but in the last 2 months or so about 5 or 10 5/500 daily. Just depended on how many I would have till my next refill. How are you feeling? Today I have horrible chills and sweats all at the same time. Last night I didnt sleep a wink until 5am this morning and slept till about 9.

how much aday??? I can tell you opiate withdrawal last hard for two weeks then it eases on day 14 thats where it gets to be unknown territory for me..

Even with 120 in pocket, I was not happy...I was already thinking about how long they would last and when and where I would get the next bottle. It's all-consuming and ruins your life--something I don't need to tell you, especially with what happened to you and your career. Having known what it was like to not have those cravings for over three years, I know the joy you are feeling now some 290 days into it. There's nothing like it, is there?

Not sure how much you had been taking prior to go cold turkey, that may determine how rough the withddrawlas are. Eitehr way, the worst will be over in 3-4 more days. Coming off Vicodin isn't anywhere near as bad as some of the Oxycontin / Methodone stories I have rad on this site. Myself, I have gone cold turkey at least a dozen times and I am usually over the worst of the physical withdrawl by the 5th day.

I am 55 almost 56 yr old female and I have lived on hydrocodone 10 and 15 mgs for the last year.. I have 4 left in my pocket and can get no more until next friday... Please help me... I am scared to death.. No one but my doctor knows I take these but I can't imagine getting up in the morning without them. My knees and hips hurt me so bad but I am taking 30-40 a day and I know I am addicted... What am I facing here? Can I do it alone?

How long does it take for you to withdrawal fully. I was taking about 6-8 10/325. I am on day 7 and just wish I could take one. Im tired all the time and have no energy. I am still having severe anxiety attacks.

for almost 5 years! I know how you feel, and I feel the same way. Last night I slept, and when I woke up, I was actually comfortable!!! Hang in there! Do what ever you can do to make yourself happy...hot showers, music, movies, reading, what ever is makes you happy. Make a wish list in a journal, and write down your dreams....what you want your life to be. Pain killers are lying to us. Try to remember when you were healthy before your took them.
