The leg pain is something that just has to be dealt with when going through the whole process of coming off the pills for good. I know what it's like to want to get off the pills, and yet still have the legit pain left behind to take care of. If you have a heating pad then give that a try as well. It might help ease some of the tension with the legs, but for the most part...the legs and lack of sleep are two of the hardest things to deal with.
The hot flashes will get better too...I went ct back in Feb....and my hot flashes were bad....now...they are gone....Hang in there...
I too found cutting down on my meds... hydro (dilaudid) that i was beginning to feel hot flashes.Had hysterectomy at 33...someone suggested Cal-Mag, calcium and magnesium vitamins. I still get them sometimes but very minor symptons now. I have heard they dont work for everyone but did for me. Good luck
Thanks. I have stopped the pain killers. It is day two. I slept little last night and the leg pain is constant. This is horrible but thanks for the info. I can do this =)

Leg pain soooo bad. Hot baths and warm blankets are not working. I am so tired but hurt so bad sleep will not come wrap me in its silky dreams. I want to cut my legs off to stop the pain but not take the pills...I know I have slayed the beast just by not allowing it to temp me.

Eating bananas can help with the legs too as they have lots of potassium. Some people have wrapped their legs with ace bandages too. May help. Just keep hanging in there as this will go away. I know easier said than done but it will get better. I also had terrible hot flashes and i rarely have them now. Try and get out and walk. Stay strong sara
