When can I celebrate?

I was on 60-80 mg Norco daily just over a week ago. I did a very aggressive taper and it has now been almost 24 hours since I took anything. Yesterday I had 5 mg total. I had major wd symptoms for a few days and other than the craving,  I'm not feeling any wd symptoms right now. Am I safe to rejoice? Can I expect that I'm over the worst and won't experience any more wd symptoms?

the first day for me (with the exception of fentanyl) was never really bad wd's.  day 2-5 for norco and days 2-7 for percocets were the worst.  
make sure you have cal/mag/zinc and epsom salts and icy hot or some other rub for you legs.  RLS is always the worst for me and that is worse upon lying down.

im not sure pasquisha, I reread your other thread and you were using for several years ... that WAS a fast taper!  it's good that you're not feeling any wds right now.  I could be wrong on the time frame but I think for most people wds last up to seven days ... for me it has typically been longer but that was due to the intensity of my habit.  I tapered when I first got clean and it did lessen my wds but it did not take them away.  hopefully you are through the worst of it.  take it easy for the next few days.  good luck!
