[Donna7920011]

Hey guys i have been taking vicodin 10/325 for over a year now. 2-4 pills a day but no more than that. I have not taken anything in 72 hours and i am NOT having hard w/d. i am having extremely mild body aches and very mild headache ( nothing aleve cant handle) and no nausea or runs at all. mild leg cramps but nothing too annoying. my sister said i should be fine then. is the worst still to come? or am i over the worst. I really thought this would be a lot worse but i dont know if tomorrow is the hell day so to speak. any ideas guys. i even still have my appetite. am i just one of the lucky people??

Your WD will definatley be a lot less than if you were using 8 or 10 per day. I know what you feel like as am tapering and down to 3 per day at 1/2 dose intervals and the WD are really minimum compared to the first couple of days tapering. The less you take the less your body needs it, the trick is to avoid bigger dose temtations

I was using 10-325s for about three years. Over the last year, it ramped from 10 a day to between 20 and 30. I quit ct and will be coming up on Day 3 in about 3 hours (yah, I'm counting the hours lol).

Full disclosure: I did taper over the last couple of weeks, but I had a few days where I went right back to my regular amount, so I have a hard time believing they count for much.

I'm in about the same boat as you, symptom-wise. I have no idea if it's going to get better or worse. On one hand, it doesn't matter because I'm going to push through anyhow. On the other, it helps if I can prepare myself for what may be coming.

I find all of the stories about others' personal experiences with w/d to be bittersweet. Sometimes they comfort me. Sometimes they scare or intimidate me. I have to remember that the only rule is that there are no rules when it comes to our bodies healing. They're going to do what they're going to do and all I can do to soften it is to not fight it.

I have no idea if that's any help.

wow seems like you are.

tomorrow will be a big telltale day for you, as day 4 is the worst physiclaly usually.

You may still get soem mental symptoms like some anxiety and loss of energy, but that goes away.

Thank GOd you quit now and not later after taking twise as much as you are now.

keep up the good work, and keep us posted,
hugs,
Lily
