Congrats on 2 yrs clean!!  

Vicoprofen was my DOC so i am  happy you want off them now.  How many were you taking a day?  You will probably experience a few days of flu like symptoms but i wouldnt think it should be real bad.  Just make sure to drink plenty of fluids and stay in touch with your sponsor.

I have a disease called sarcoidosis, it affects my liver spleen lungs intestines and they are running tests to see about my heart and brain. It also inflames my joints so now my knees, right hand, and left foot are painfully swollen 24/7 The doctors want me to stay on it but i know my limit and if i am to take any more i will become full blown. I have two uears clean in narcotics anonymous (my sponsor says the vicoprofen doesnt count since it is an actual medical condition). Thats why i took myself off. I ave immodium, ibuprofen, naproxen, and vitamin b12. Im just wondering how bad the withdrawal will be and how long

Hi honey don't be scared. After 6 weeks you should only have a few days of discomfort. The best thing you can do is get off these pills NOW before they get a grip. I don't know why you were taking them but if it was for actual pain switch over to regular motrin when needed. Drink plenty of water and let us know how you're doing. Great job flushing the rest!
