How long does it take to detox of Vicodin?

[fatema97502]

Hello,
After knee surgery 31/2 years ago I was put on Vicodin. Little did I know I would get hooked. I never really thought about it, since my doctor was giving it to me and I took it how he told me to. Well today is day 2 and night 3 of not having any vicodin. I have terriable legg cramps, sweets and I can not sleep. How long does this last? It is driving me crazy. I do not have any cravings for the vicodin. Just the withdraws are killing me. I have been drinking water and taking baths. But it doesn't help any.
I'm thinking about going to the emergency room and see if they can help me with my withdraws. I have heard about a pill that helps, but then I'm scared of taking another pill as well.
Please let me know how long this is going to last..........

Hi Ive been taking vicodin for years off and on---guess qute a bit more lately (last 4 months or so) upto 4  a day---oh and Im a alcoholic (big drinker) trying to slow down on that too--stopped vicodin about 7 days ago (cold turkey) its been awful and feeling very depressed--wasn't drinking either--but have now managed to drink at least 3 different days (a bit, not lots)--here's the thing, I really want to quit everything---permanently just have drinks like a normal person here and there---but I know I have a new prescript. coming on the 2nd---and I know that Im about to brake up with my boyfriend---and I keep thinking about picking up those pills and weaning off after being bad for a few weeks---excuse I know---but this breakup is really going to be hard---and **** I really want to feel better, Im depressed, my body hurts, I have no support, hell even my breasts are killing me...just a little nice advice please--even if Im being stupid---Im crying enough here too--oh and Ive been taking Xanax for sleep and comfort and haven't left the house in over 8 days---please nice comments if you can

NO NO way. U need somewhere to go. Cut down and Slow Down was the most scariest words to me. That's ridiculous your family. Take some downers or something but u cant just do this by yourself.
I know but your lucky you didn't do something horrible and end up in a cell or something but we addicts are in a cell of the devil. I remember it feeling like the words I used was "Angel next to me" I still agree the FEELING itself is but what is slowly doing to you massive destruction mainly financially, and to yourself. It felt very normal to me like alcohol almost part of the OTC list. But no.
Think about the Heroin users: they will endure pure hell. So this makes me stronger.
Get support and go to a place and please when u do get support go to a person that actually been through it. Oh if u take downers don't drink alcohol. I just learned that.
I'm a ******* licensed Pharmacy Technician by the way. Currently not working. I love the field of medicine but I think I loved it a little to much, no the street stuff is the one that ate me. I have to admit I experienced a lot of drugs and this drug is the most comfortable with even more than oxycontin it like really got me in the brain and changed the way I think and the brain receptors begin to get used to it and respond to happiness only when u take the damn ******* yellow oval 36 01 scored ************. When u don't have it ur not familiar without the drug. Music always helps me.

I have been on narcos for 12years. Im 30. Im afraid too. Its all going to hit me when i come off these suckers. I have maybe 12 left. Their the 7.5's. I finished my 210 narcos, about a week ago. And i gt the 7.5s 5 days ago! Talk about trouble. Huh! Feeling confused. Doubting myself. Im in a serios relationship. God knows hes been trying to help. He knows nothing about opiat addiction-in the past helped a girl gt off of heroine-which i think is the second worst detox. I love him and i know he loves me. For he doesnt have to put up wit my crap. Yet, he does it anyway. God has helped me alot. I have bad anxiety which makes me take more of the anxiety meds. I have messed up so much theres no time anymore to feel sorry for the stupidity that im creating. If thomas has showed me anything, the main thing hes shown me is to be strong. Im a serious pill addict. Ill be detoxing at home, and it scares me-since ive had siezers before. Im coming off a 25 a day pill intake. Please pray for me because i nd A miracle in this one.
