Day one I was just a nervous wreck knowing that was it and worrying about what I was in for the next few days. Days 2 through 4 were about the same very achy,depressed,diareha,anxious ,very restless,runny nose..i stocked up on immodium,advil,zofran Hylands restful legs helped me a great deal also! I had some xanex too..started feeling better by day 5 but still am feeling quite down..i wish you the best through your journey and what also helped was reading everyone elses stories.
Unfortunately the sadness is part of the withdrawal. I am fighting it too.
It really s u c k s. I go from being sad to being really irritable. Our emotions are all over the place. If it helps this too will pass.
I was on an 8 a day hydro binge for many years too and took my last two this morning. I am feeling okay right now, but can you share what you experienced from going cold turkey?
