Am I having withdrawl symptoms from Vicodin?
by paguy7706, Dec 22, 2006 12:00AM
I have been taking Vicodin for a little over 6 weeks now. I have degenerative disc disease in three discs and one of the discs is majorly herniated and leaking. I am scheduled to have a disc replacement in one month. I am in severe pain. My doctor suggested doubling the dose of vicodin. I did so and got really sick. Vomitting, diareahea, loss of sleep, major headaches, aches and pains in my legs. It has been two days since I took the vicodin. My back is absolutely killing me, but I cannot take anymore vicodin. I feel like I will get sick again and I am also feeling like I am going through withdrawl and do not want to go on them again. Is there anything I can do to overcome these problems? The headaches and leg pains are the worst! How long will I have these problems? Please help!
