Vicoden Withdrawals

[IceIce]

I've been taking Vicoden for a year now and I'm on day two without.  I'm finding this withdrawal process to be way over rated, is there anything over the counter that will help?  How soon until I'm over the hump and don't feel like I've been dragged behind a truck?

This sucks!

steer clear of the methadone...especially if your on such a low dose of vicodens, you should feel better in about 5-7 days.  
25 mgs of methadone for a 1st time user can kill, it is a fact. people have died from 1, 10 mg methadone pill. if you want the facts and statistics, just contact me. it a very serious and strong drug, and only to be used under a doctors close supervision.
you'll be over the hump in no time...and there are much safer options available...there isnt anything safe about buying it off the street.  not a good idea...

I'm a little confused with what you wrote.  If I take Methadone the way you prescribe I will not detox from the Vicoden?  If so, how do I get the Methadone?

Thanks

Methadone is only horrible when people take it to long! It makes you skip all oxy withdrawal symptoms. Not everyone can afford a doctor or afford to take time off from work. I wouldnt be posting so adamently if I didn't know for a fact it works! it has worked for me, my bf and four of my friends that listened perfectly! If you do not take it more then 5 days you will not get hooked! they cost 15 dollars a pill and she only needs two of them. Why is everyone trying to make detoxing so hard for these people who need off quickly. You will not have withdrawals from Methadone if you only take it for five days lowering your dose by 5 mg every day. Meth will not get you high so there is no reason to become addicted to it. Methadone clinics keep people on it until they get hooked and thats why some people stay on it for a long time and end up with horrible withdrawals. Nothing will happen after five days of taking it except being able to get off both pills with out withdrawals in a matter of 5 days and all for 30 dollars. Again if anyone really wants to get off their is no reason not to try this. Please read what I said again very carefully
As long as you only tke Methadone for no more than 5 days you will have no withdrawals from it! I got off oxy's like this, so did my boyfriend and so did several of my friends. No missed time from work, no pain, no withdrawals, JUST YOUR LIFE BACK IN 5 DAYS! The people who tell you you get the worst withdrawals from Methadone are people who have been taking it for a while and become physically dependent on it. Even three weeks is to long to take Meth. BUT I PROMISE a thousand times over if you do what me and my bf and 4 of my friends did you will be done with pills in 5 days. 25mgs of Meth the first day, 20mgs the second, 15mgs the third, 10mg on the fourth and finally 5mg on the 5th day and then stop! You will be off both pills in 5 days and no withdrawals whatever. This is what works and the only way to get clean in 5 days without needing any pills ever. For anybody who tells Monkey that Meth has the worst withdrawal symptons ever, this is true only if you become dependent on it. YOU DO NOT BECOME DEPENDENT ON IT AFTER 5 DAYS DROPPING 5 MGS EACH DAY!  Monkey you will not have withdrawls and you will have your life back if you take my advice

using the thomas recipe is better than not.  Most on here will swear by it.  Use it and you shouldnt be disappointed by any means.

Can't sleep and flip around like a fish out of water.  Body aches and cold symptoms, spending a lot of time in the restroom.  I’m hot then cold then hot and sweating constantly.

Frankly I feel like I have the flu but the lack of sleep magnifies it.

I'm surprised with how bad I feel, I thought I controled it fairly well by not increasing above 7 per day and figured the detox would be mild.  Maybe this is mild but it sure makes it hard to function throughout the day and night with work and family.

Are you saying the Thomas Recipe does not work?

[enemy48]

Over rated?  Hummmph.  I don't think so, but a couple of people do get lucky.

What symptoms are you experiencing?

[IceIce]

5 to 7 per day.  I'll check out the Thomas Recipe.

Thank you

How much have you been taking?  Usually by day 5 you should start feeling better..search the forum for the "Thomas Recipe" which has helped a lot of people..many of us were also helped by clonidine, a blood pressure med (prescription) that helps a lot with the symptoms.  you may want some sort of anti anxiety med to help a bit, but you're very close to being over the hump..

Good luck and stay reading the forum
