Please help! How long will these norco withdrawls last?

Hi, I've been using norco for about 2 years on a daily basis. I take at least 9 pills a day of 10/325. I recently got up to taking 3 pills at one time. My last pill was 48hrs ago and I feel really crappy! I am so sleepy and exhausted, but I can't sleep. The first night I slept for about an hour then I got up and went to work. The whole time at work all I wanted to do was go home and sleep. When I got home that was the last thing I could do. I tossed and turned all night. Finally I remembered that I had a few soma that I had taken a long time ago, so I took 1 and I slept for a full 4hrs. I am not going to take anymore soma I just want to be able to stay clear of all meds. Since I've stopped taking norco I've gone through so much. I am cold one min and hot the next. I am not hungry what soever, which is very weird. I sneeze all the time. My body is very weak and I feel kinda depressed. I have the choice of getting some more pills, but I'm trying very hard not to. I hate these withdrawls and I feel like maybe I shouldn't have gone cold turkey so I keep telling myself that maybe I should get these pills and try to come off of them slowly. Does anyone know how long these withdrawls will last? Any advice? PLEASE!! Thanks!

i am on my first 24 hour period. My body aches but through prayer,music and lots of water I seem to be removing the pain from my body. I was in pain when I started reading these web pages on Norco withdrawls but now that my mind is working the pain has subsided. I can't sleep but that is ok I have 9 days before I go back to work. Vicodin took me one week and after that,I was fine. I kicked a 5 year Vicodin habit for two years and then I was subscribed norco for my constant pain and I'm right back where I started.
We can do this as long as you stay strong to your GOAL.
No more pain meds!!!
Good Luck to all

HELLO
I AM CURRENTLY ON NORCC 10 AND SOMA AND VICODINE 750 AT TIMES ALONG WITH OXY. I HAVE GONE THROGH 3 BACK SURGIERIES AND HAVE BEEN ON THESE DRUGS FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. I HAVE ODed TWICE AND THONGHT I WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP BUT THE PAIN FROM MY BACK AND LEG STOPS ME FROM ATTEMPTING. I AM DOCTOR SHOPPING, GOING INTO MEXICO AND BUYYING FROM OTHER PEOPLE TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THEM. I AM TAKEING UP TO 4 NORCOS AND 4 SOMAS AT A TIME AND WILL TAKE MORE OR LESS IN ANOTHE TWO HOURS. JUST WENT THRU 150 NORCOS AND 200 SOMAS IN A ABOUT 8 DAYS I RAN OUT YESTERDAY AND CANT GET ANY AND IN SO MUCH PAIN FROM MY BACK AND THE WITHDRAWALS. ITS TO THE POINT I WANT TO JUST END IT. I DIDNT MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, I STARTED HAVING BACK PAIN SO THE DOCTORS START SAYING TAKE THIS AND WHEN YOU RUN OUT ILL GIVE MORE. I WAS ON THEM AND ALREADY ADDICTED BEFORE MY FIRST SURGERY, SO AFTER THEY SURGERY I WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN DUE MY BODY WAS ALREADT IMMUNED TO PAIN KIILERS, NO MATTER WHAT THEY GAVE ME NO HELP. BUT THEY ARE STILL GIVING THEM TO ME AND I COUNTED THE BEFORE I RAN OUT I TOOK 4 VICO/4 SOMAS, 1 HR LATER 2 VICO/2SOMAS AT WORK AND 3 NORCOS AND 3 SOMAS 1 HR BEFORE LEAVING WORK. WHEN I GET HOME AROUNG 5PM I WILL TAKE 4NORCS/4 SOMAS. 1HR LATER 3NORCS/3SOMAS AND BERFORE I GO TO BED 4 NORCS/4 SOMAS PLUS A SLEEP AID, SO I AM TAKING AROUND 14-15 NORCS OR SOMAS A DAY AND TRUST ME SOMEDAYS I TAKE ENOUGH SOMA TILL IT PUTTS ME INTO A SOMACOMA. I AM SURE SOME OF YOU SOMA TAKERS CAN RELATE TO A SOMACOMA. I KNOW I NEED HELP BUT AFRAID OF THE PAIN FROM MY MAJOR BACK SURGERY AND ANOTHER ONE COMING IN THE FUTURE I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BEAR IT.

ANY WORDS OR HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED
THANKS, jh

OMG! I have been using Norco 10/325's for about a year now and when I run out I take a trip to the Emergency room and pretend like I have SEVERE back or tooth pain to get Vikes.I've come to realiza that taking Vikes IS THE WORST! ITS HARD TO KICK VIKES! I called a NA hotline and they really helped me out. A guy told me to drink plenty of fluids and sleep next to a heater, AND IT WORKS! You sleep like a baby! Today is my first day of kicking pills. Wish me luck people and let me know of any more remedies to helps with chills, cold sweats and nausea.
