Congratulations! You were on a pretty low dose so the physical wd is probably already been at the worst. However, you do have the mental craving to overcome. There are lots of aftercare options available. Do some online research and find a program that works for you. Good job and good luck and post here whenever you feel the need. We're here for you. :)

after 7 days the worst should be over however due to the prolonged use your brain has adjusted to working with this medication. you should expect insomnia and muscle aches. i recommend going to an outpatient program or therapy. This will give you the support to stay on the right track and prevent relape. due to the fact that you've been using for 2+ years your brain will continue to tell you to seek the hydro and you will have major cravings. stay strong and stay away from it. the recovery takes major dedication to overcome. remember only time will heel, the longer you can stay away the better you will feel. find some1 who you can talk to because after the withdrawal there will be millions of thoughts running through your head, so you need the support, Good luck to you and congratulations on taking the first step to recovery.

I would say yes.  I was taking about 20 5/500 vics per day, yes 20.  I was feeling better about Day 5.  Not always great, but never worse than those first few days.  Good Luck to you... Keep it up.  

I'm Day 30 today and loving how i'm feeling.
