I am on day 3 of detoxing from Hydro & Oxy and I was taking 20+ a day at most for the last 3 years or so... The last 2 days were ok but today I am feeling not so great. The w/d's are something I can control with my additude. The better you think you are the better you are... It's mind over matter. 2/3 mind 1/3 reality... It gets easier if you decide that using is just NOT an option for you! I am doing it on my own too with my other pills to ease me into it plus I am at home with both of my boys. Not a fun mix. All I want to do it go back to bed and sleep till it's over but that is not an option and I have been told on her that that is the worst thing I can do. Stay busy, keep your mind occupied... I am counting down the hours, popping vitamins and drinking propel and Emergen-c. I have to keep my vitamins coming because I don't really feel like eating much at the moment.I just want to detox and have all this poision OUT OF ME!!! I'm sure you feel the same. Pls. add me as a friend and update me on your progress, k? Thanks and hang in there! Christina

HI Philly160.  It kind of depends on 1) how much you are detoxing from--there is a difference between detoxing off of a 4 a day habit and a 30+ a day habit (physically) and 2) how long  you've been taking it.. Generally 5-7 days of feeling sick (flu like symptoms).. Most people being to feel the upslope around day 5 and a whole lot better (physically) after about a week.  The mental part is a bit different.  Aftercare and support are extremely important.  Best of luck.
