How long does the "restless legs" and "willies" last after withdrawing from Hydrocodone. I havent had anything for 8 days. It went away for a while, now there back. I cant sleep very well either. Any ideas on how long this could last?

About the creepy crawlies.... the first time that I detoxed from oxy / hydro I had a lot of success with a medication called neurontin.  It is not available OTC and it is expensive but it did help me alot, even at a low dose (100mgs 3X a day).  It also helps some people sleep.  It's an anti-seizure medication, but since recent findings have led Dr's etc to beleive that it helps with pain control (and it's not addictive) many Dr's are willing to prescribe it.  Best of luck...

I HATE the willies and the creepy crawlies!!!

Since they went away for a brief time, I would say they will go away soon!  Do you have access to valium or xanax, maybe take a little for a few days if you have some.

One suggestion, maybe up your minerals and B-150 vitamins.  B-150's are great restorers for depletion in your body.  If your b's are low, your nerves are affected!

Good luck!
