When will the w/ds start?

[CodeineGirl78]

I have already posted this question once, but really didn't get much of a response.  I have used Tyl #3 for 2.5 years.  Since Jan I have been down to just 2pills a day.  I took my last dose of 2 - 30mg pills on Thursday morning...that's approx 55 hours ago.  I feel NOTHING yet.  When should i start feeling like ****???  Am I an exception to the w/d process?  I have been eating bananas and takin a multivitamin since yesterday (part of the Thomas plan).  I still have an appetite and have not had to use immodium.  What's the deal?

i had a huge habit of hyrdo's for the past 4 years, ive had some BAD w/d's. during dec. and jan. i really took alot of pills. i set my DATE for feb. 5. i was ready, i was stocked up on everything i needed, food for family, house clean etc.. i mean i was ready.. i made it feb.14, i had almost no withdraws i useally get pretty sick,, this last time nothing, i told family i wasnt feeling well on day 2 , i felt ok i just wanted to stay in bed.. i waited for something to hit me.. it never did, all i got from feb 5-14th were the sniffs and the yawns..well on the 15th it started raining hydro's at my door, 60 that week, and another 120 this last week... needless to say.. i couldnt stay strong.. i caved.. diane

I am only taking a multivitamin and eating bananas.  But, as of right now it is officially three day (72 hours) and I slept well last night and feel fine right now.  I really was expecting something horrible and that is why it took me so long to quit.  I believe that God has blessed me, that's the only explanation.

I agree with toxictome.  Definetely an exception to the rule..........Unless you're not telling us of a miracle cure!

[toxictome]

Yes, you must be the exception to the rule...LOL  
Lucky you...and i hope it stays that way.....  :)

[CodeineGirl78]

Thanks for the info!  I am still feeling fine and going about my business without the pills.  I consider this a blessing from God and will do everything in my power to stay away from narcotics!  I hate being a slave to the drug...

Consider your self lucky...codeine is one of the weaker narcotics....the first time I quit taking hydrocodone, I did not experience any physical WDs..This time I did...do not push your luck and stay away from them

[GoingToMakeIt]

Yes, count yourself lucky. Occasionally someone will say they went several days and then had some w/ds, but that is uncommon.

Hi.that great,withdrawls are the last thing you want to experience.Withdrawl are symtoms that people that severely abuse get.In your case you seem to be taking only a minor amount of a re-latively weak drug,tylenol#3 if used as you stated should not cause you a problem.So if you have no legitamate reason to continue taking these pills,then stop as you as yet are not physically addicted. all the best john

[spacecadette]

wow...that is a tough one...i am not familure with codeine withdrawl however it sounds like either you have a high tolerance for pain and the withdrawls are so mild they are unnoticeable to you??? Just throwing out theories...or maybe you have tapered so successfully that you are simply not going to feel any withdrawls? I am really happy for you!! Most people do not get off the hook so easily.....i'd say it's a good time to count your blessings

When I quit taking vicodin, I had light flu symptoms the first couple days. It could be you had reduced your dosage so low that your body didn’t have much w/d. That’s great, keep posting and talking to the group, especially if you have any problems or questions. It sounds like you did a good job on your own quitting and could be an inspiration to others as well.
