Congratulations on day 2! It was just over 2 months ago when I did the same thing. Keep hanging on. You can make it through this. You are almost 1/2 way through the worst part. Usually day 5 starts to get better, but it does depend on how much and how long you have been using.

I'm also on day 2 going cold turkey. So far so good here. I just don't have any energy. I've been through this before but it doesn't seem to be as bad this time. I went cold turkey about a month ago and was clean for about 2 weeks but my sciatic pain came back. It finally went away this past monday so I'm back at it again. I just wonder if it's easier this time because I was only on them for about 3 weeks this time. I just hope this is the last time I have to do this!
Just keep going strong! It will be over before you know it!

I c/t'd I am on day 5 and feel like nearly all symptoms are gone. I used 7-10 hydros a day for about 8 months. It really depends on how long/much you used for. You can do it and just keep reminding yourself, "What's a couple days???"  Best of luck!

Me 2 it seems so much easier but i think its how long you use for. My first time was hell and i took about 3 days before that fog was gone and i was out and about and i took that poison for about 2 to 3 years. This time about 1 or 2 month dont know for sure Yesterday was though and today on and of chills, body jolts, emotional and some cravings. Good luck and god bless u all.

Hi Everyone...

Day 18 today and the symptoms do decrease each day....only lingering effect is that a solid 8 hours of sleep is not consistant...usually 4-6 good and another 2-3 rough but it is sleep...I actually had some REM last night :-)...BTW - one more thing...mood swings...this is an up and down thing...haven't taken any other meds so my head games act out once in while but no depression...exercise and eating well definitly helped...i was back in the gym on day 3 even though i didn't want too..

Hope this helps..

Peace,

Nick
