Advice for people suffeing through vicodin withdrawal

[marissa300]

I just want people struggling with the debilitating side effects of vicodin withdrawal know that they don't have to suffer.  Ask your doctor for neurontin or gabbbapentin.  I am a 3 year severe (20-30) norco addict and I decided to stop the maddness but was afraid of the muscle pain i've felt before.  With neurontin I have none of those spasms cramps or depression and mood swings.  It also gives me no "high" feeling at all so its not a temptation for abuse or addiction.  Get some neurontin, some benadryl and some diarrhea medication and you won't believe how successful you will be and you won't have to suffer!  My prayers go out to anyone going through this.

  Those things absolutely did not work for me in the past and I about overdosed on benadryl because someone told me it helped calm....no thanks for me on that one! Either
c/t or tapering off for me and my future!

Marissa, while that may work for you and for that I am glad, you need to do your research before making such a recommendation. Neurontin withdrawal can cause seizures, and on that alone it can be a dangerous medication.

Please be a little more cautious and considerate as to  what you tell members who are suffering and looking for (just about anything) relief in the future.

I wish you the best.
