Hi and Welcome,

Please do not go the Methadone route, you will be sorry. You are already on day 4 and well on your way. It will only be a few more days before the physical symptoms stop.

If you are already on blood pressure medication please do not take the Clonidine unless instructed by a doctor. That is a dangerous move.

At this point try light exercise such as walking to keep your muscles working. Take long, hot baths as it will help relax you. Keep yourself occupied with a hobby that you may have like reading or doing a jig saw puzzle, anything so that you are not constantly thinking about the withdrawal. Please make certain that you eat, even if it is only soup and be sure to push fluids so you don't get dehydrated.

If you can tell us what symptoms you are experiencing we can recommend some otc medications that will help ease them.

Hang in there, you are almost over the hump.

I see no one has responded yet, and it sounds like you need help FAST.  I am just a Mom trying to help her own vicodin addicted son, but SO many wonderful people have posted help on mine.  If you want...read all the suggestions and help under snoozieQ255.  My son wants me to help him get off vicodin.   There is already alot of help given to me.  until you hear from others, please read through the advice I have been given.  Good luck to you!!!!!  And I totally agree...NO METHADONE.
