lorazepam, cymbalta, tramadol, vicodin

I stopped using Elavil and Tramadol (was only on it for a month) Been on vicodin 5 months and the Dr now put me on cymbalta and lorazepam but will not refill vicodin. I was only taking about 3-4 pills a day but dont I need to wein off and will I have withdrawls?? And replacing the vicodin with these other drugs cant be a good thing, can it?? Need some advice quickly if possible.

Hey, I was wondering what mg your vicodins were? I am kind of on the same boat as you, but I have been on 3-5 10/325 mgs. I decided to try and ween myself off of them, and if yours were only 5/500 and you had all those w/d's from cold turkey then I think I'll stick to weening...I was also on tramadol for a month...

Well I thought I was getting off easy having the Vicodin cut off (becasue I was only taking 4 pils a day-but what was I thinking. I actually by the 3 day I did start having chills, goose bumps, then hot,clammy and nausea and by the 4th day I was vomitimg all day,very weak and my head felt like it was going to blow up, the next day was dry heeves. All i could think of when will this stop. Well it seems to be ok now and I was able to eat lightly today-still a little queazy. Thanks for your support though, I guess everones is different after all or Im just a "wus" i guess...hehe

I'd agree with worried, you should be okay. If you do start to feel sick it shouldn't be that bad. Probably a little quesy maybe a fwe headaches and tight muscles, def tolerable but shouldn't be all out withdrawls.
