How Long?

[smileypies113]

How long has it been taking for most of the people who are going through a detox for vic's or percs, to feel somewhat normal again, and not so brain fried. I have been taking 5-10 es vics for almost 4 yrs for my scoliosis. If I quit I need to take some time off work because I need to thing quick on my feet, and when I detox, my brain shuts down, and I feel very cloudy... So how long do you think before the clouds start to break free?

It takes awhile. The worst of it is ussually gone in about a week, or maybe two. but after the withdrawls seems to be harder for me, because of the mental addiction that goes along with it. for me it was about a month n a half to two months before i felt COMPLETELY "normal" for the most part. but that was mostly getting back to eating/sleeping right and the brain fog. I felt really spacey for quite awhile. something you have to deal with, but don't give up, because it will pass, and you will be really proud of yourself for sticking through it. Just keep reminding yourself that if you relapse youll have to start all over, and no one wants to go through that hell anymore than they have to. I quit for awhile, and unfortunatly, I recently did relapse, and I feel so guilty and am dreading going through it all over again. I left this forum for awhile, something I should have never done, because having support and talking to other people that are going through the same thing as you helped so, so much. Good luck, and I hope to see you on here again, with a post saying "I did it!, Im clean!"

take the amount of days you used and times by one thousand, then divide by 16.

add that to your age then subtract your dads date of birth.. then ignore that number and figure 5-7 days...

Just trying to make ya smile.. you can do this.. its easier than counting pills and spending your life getting pills..... (cheaper too)

be blessed

For me it was at least two weeks. I was eating 12-15 10mg norco a day for a long while. I'm over a month now and there are no cloudy feelings at all. Good luck.
