what to expect in detox plan and sneezing?

[plumeagled]

Today hits one week since the flu/virus hit me and gave me the guts to go ahead and try and get off of the norco. Have only had Klonopin at bedtime (lowest dose available). I see folks here having no energy and such.....should things progress for the better at this point or should I be on the lookout for some other not so happy times to hit before this is good and gone and I feel normal both physically and emotionally?! (what's normal anyway?hehehe)
And a second question. Since that time last week I have sneezed my head off! I have NEVER had allergies altho a lot of people in my family do. Is it just the timing and allergies finally found me you think....or is that another thing detoxing can do to you? I sure hope it's the detoxing and not allergies!

Yes the sneezing and runny nose are a symptom of detoxing! I have horrible sinuses and hydrocodone has always helped to keep everything dried up, that's what opiates do, that's why they are good for cough. So anyway, yes it's the withdrawal making you sneeze all the time.

congrats, first of all..As far as the sneezing, i don't think it is allergies..My worst w/d symtom is RLS, then goose bumps then sneezing..I can sneeze up to 50 times in an hour or until i take another pill..Finally i have found something for RLS, as that is the worst i have, but i also have it when i am not w/ding..As for the goose bumps and sneezing i have not found anything yet..Good luck and keep going.i am having surgery in 2 days and plan on stopping after that..not sure if i can, but i will sure try with all i have.
god bless

If I can do it you certainly can. I'm a weenie wimp! I just got fed up with something having control over me and I'm a control nut myself. I only had the RLS for a couple of days. That Rylands Restful Legs did help. I have been very pleasantly surprised at it being easier than I ever expected. I really did have a jump start by having the flu/virus. I suppose it was one heck of a blessing in disguise. I figured I couldn't possibly feel any worse than I already did so why go through something similar again later! So, while NOTHING was staying down.....didn't try to take the norco and I was purely miserable. But I knew it would end and after the bathroom trips I was on the upswing. Funny, I kept literally praying for a way to get this out of my system.....I said here earlier God sure has a sense of humor! But it worked for me.....guess it was my silver lining. Jackie.....Oh, best wishes with the surgery...what type? My mom has hip resurfacing surgery Wednesday so I'll be sleeping on a cot I suppose!
