Coffee & WD's?

Hi, I'm into day 3 of kicking off vicodin.  I had tapered down over the course of a month, to 1/4tab (2.5mg) 3x's/day.  then I stopped last Sat.  Sunday night was the worst wd's,  I finall fell asleep around 3am. I was exhausted the next day but had no more muscle cramps and spasms until I tried to go to sleep again.  And again, I was up all night last night with the muscle aches and twitching.  I had some coffee yesterday to get thru the day and did have a cup kind of late, 7pm.  But I switched to chamomile tea later,    I'm wondering if the coffee made things worse?  I'm exhausted again today and need to go to work and am thinking about drinking coffee to get going here, any advice? thanks,

Congrats on day 3!
My advice, quit the coffee, allow yourself one cup in the morning and skip to green or white tea, better for detox.
