I just want you to know that you are not alone in this.  I am on day 3 detoxing off of one 80mg Oxy and 12 percs per day habit,  Everyone detoxes different but for me day one was dreadful, I don't know how many times I wanted to give up but I didn't and here I am on day 3 with the worst behind me.  It's still no picnic today but I can see the light now and what I went through seems like a bad dream.  I know what your going through but this is where you have to be strong and keeep going, it does get better, I promise. It will all pass in time.  You may not realize it but you are doing great!  Keep it up! You got this!  Let me know if you need anymore info, I can explain my experience in more detail if you like. Good luck and god bless.

hope you have found the recipe by now...how are you doing ?

yeah, Hylands restful legs is OTC, it is a very tiny bottle so if you don't find it, ask for it. The mnerals suplemments will help you also wiith RLS and muscle aches, i recommend them...eat potasium rich food..bananas, spinach, tomato, apple juice...tonic water helps with RLS because of the quinine on it..don't forget about the hot baths, they really help :)

Why did my doctor not tell me the side effects of Norco.  I can not stand my own skin. Going crazy here.

If you look in the upper right hand side of the page you will see the health pages. You can find the Thomas Recipe and Amino Acid Protocol there.

Your story sounds a lot like mine. I injured my back, was prescribed pain meds and detoxed at home. For the first few days I had no idea it was withdrawals until I read about it. I though at first I had the flu. I felt much better on day 5. Exercise helped tremendously.

Hang in there. You will get through this!

I had back surgery and have been on Norco for nine months.  What do you do for restless leg.  Can I buy it over the counter?  I have started having sweats and just feel like I am going to jump out of my skin.  I had no idea I would be going through this.   Where is the recipe you were talking about or what is it.  I am so thankful I found this website. Ty for taking the time to write.

Hi, welcome to the forum :)

do you take the pills for recreational use or have any medical condition? Yes, if you don't have any health issue, i  say that you can detox safely at home...be ready for  bad flu symptons. For how long have you been using and how much? Depending on these factors, the 8 pills would help a little like a short taper or nothing ..... I would advice you to read the thomas recipe and the amino acid protocol ( health pages, right side of the screen) and old posts by people going through the same.. Acute wds will last for a week, being the third day usually the worst but the good thing is that it is doable and you can do it :) being positive is your best friend now...

Keep yourself hydrated ,this is important ( gatorade, apple/orange juice, green tea, vitamin water, tonic water).....buy immodium ( you will need it), a mineral suplemment ) magnesium+calcium and potasium...Hylands restful legs will help you with RLS. Sleep will be a problem for some days, weeks....melatonin is non addictive and will help you, valerian root is also a good help with sleep and anxiety...Take a lot of hot baths ( add epsom salts for a good relieve even if for a short time)....

keep posting your questions and for support, you won't feel alone :) Good luck  !
