Are withdrawls from Norco really that bad??

I have been taking Norcos (10mg) for over 2 and a half years. I had been on workers comp for back injury from work but the drs never gave me any strong pain pills. The strongest I was given was tramedol which is not even a control substance. I was sent to physical therapy and a chiropractor. It just seemed to be making my back worst. Sometimes I can't get Norco so I will get vics (500mg), or perkocets. So I'm not constantly taking the same narcotic. But it mainly is norcos I take. Everytime I talk myself into quitting cold turkey, I find myself calling my hooks ups less then 24hrs later. How can I stop n lessen the withdrawl symptoms? Is there any OTC aids tht wud help? Hope someone can help.
