How Long Does this Dazed Feeling Last?

I had been taking a somewhat minimal amount of hydro for the past two years (15-20mg per day). Whenever I try to kick them entirely I have some wd's which I would expect - like the sleeplessness, RLS.  Fortunately I don't have to use the bathroom any more frequently, guess I should be thankful huh?
But I think the worst thing is the dazed, out of it, fuzzy head feeling I get that lasts for at least a week... One week is the longest I've ever made it before relapsing into the daily habit.  
So can anyone tell me if they had this same feeling and how long it lasted for them?  Does it EVER go away?  I mean, maybe I used to feel like this before but it was normal for me then...?  Ugh, this is awful and IMPOSSIBLE!  I am hopeless.

i'm not taking anything for depression.  that stuff scares me more than this other **** I'm taking.  I've got to stop...when you said liver and kidney damage, that scared me. I hope I don't have too difficult a time getting off this stuff.  the bottom line is that i'm afraid.  i'm scared to not have that little pill when i've got a meeting, and i'm scared of going through the withdrawals.  i guess i just need somebody to remind of why i don't need to be taking these things.  sometimes i think...as long as nobody knows, what's the problem?  i'm kind, i wouldn't hurt anybody.  why should i stop?  i'm being silly.....
