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!

Can anyone please help me. Ive been taking at least 6  norcos a day for the past nine months just recently I had a job offer and I have to drug test for it but I bought my self some time so that I can get clean. Sunday 8/23 was the last day that I took norcos. Yesterday was ok until around 9 oclock I started feeling really restless especially in my legs I couldnt even lay down in bed it was so bad. Finally I took a hot bath n took some tylenol pm but that only worked a couple hrs I woke up n my legs, chest, and arms kept tightening up on me. I sat on my couch for about an hr n fell back asleep about 4am and all night I had broken sleep. Today ive been cold all day long, ive been sweating, ive been tired mentally and im scared! I dont know what to do and Im scared because I hear that days 3 through 5 are the worst. Can anybody give me any advice please!

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
