Help!

I'm a 22 yr old mom and I have been taking Vicodin for almost a year now. It started out with a back problem that happened at work and then I was buying them from people I know cuz my doctor would give me anymore. After a while the vicodin turned into norcos and I was take any where from 7-10 a day. I ran out and I'm deciding to stop taking them. I kind of tappered down but not enough for it to really help. Today is day 2 without and my one main side affect if anxiety. I can seem to sleep because of it and I can't sit in one place for more than 20 minutes. Other than than that it's cold sweats and diaherra. I decided to stop on a long weekend. I don't think it's going to get any better. I also just quit smoking cigarettes recently and I think that has a lot to do with it. Please if anyone has any information about how I can ease the anxiety side effect that would be greatly appeciated!
Thank you,
Sara

Hi, I too am in my second day w o a pill. I'm very very anxious too. I feel like I cannot catch my breath. Baths, talking to ppl about how I'm feeling is the only thing that has worked for me. I really would like to scream and pull my own skin off but I'm trying very hard not to do that. This stinks, stinks, stinks, stinks. :(
