Vicodin withrdrawal ratio

Just curious, if anyone has a feel for how long withdrawal symptoms occur relative to length of use.  I was on Vicodin for back pain for 1.5 months leading up to surgery.  I am 2 weeks post op and about 4 days cold turkey, but still suffering from withdrawal symptoms.  I am cool with the cold turkey aspect but just curious if anyone knows how long to expect the arm/leg restlessness and insomnia.

Thanks

Avis is correct and it takes about 7 days to feel better. You are almost there and keep it up. I think you are so smart to get off these pills now and save yourself some heartache. I wish you the best of luck and hope you are feeling better from the surgery.

God Bless,
Tim
