Vicodin detox and blurred vision

I have been weaning off of vicodin for about a month and a half and now in full detox. Since I started weaning off my vision have been very blurry, grainy and shaky. Has anyone else had this during withdrawals/detox? How long did I it last? Very scared!

hun have you had any physical therapy? if you don't use your muscles for awhile they go into atrophy. when was the last time you saw your doctor?
what strength of  vicodin were you taking?
the pain definitely increases when you are in detox. it will take at least a month to re-evaluate the pain.
sitting in a hot tub with Epsom salt will help with the aches and pains.

My vision is always blurry during withdrawals and it always took a few weeks to get back to normal. One symptom that never fails in my experience,especially as I got older.

Good to hear that it went away. I can't imagine my Vision getting that bad that quickly! I have had my blood pressure checked a couple of times and I take my blood pressure pills daily. I want to give it more time before I go to the eye doctor, as I don't seem to be the only one that has blurry vision with withdrawals. Wish it would go away soon though, Then I think I could cope with all of my other problems better!

Wow, I wonder if it has something to do with the central nervous system?

I am sure that it does. Knowing that my pupils were pinpointed for the whole time I was using and then when in withdrawal they enlarge to the size of saucers it is not a wonder that we don't see right .lol

I remember having to hold my phone at a complete arms length just to read it.

Whoa, I have been looking at my pupils too! Don't really know how big they should be, but they always seem small! But they still are though. I will see what happens...
