How bad will hydrocodone withdrawal be after 2 weeks of use?

Hi I have been on hycodan (5mg of hydrocodone in a single 5ml dose) for my bad cough from my sinus infection. I have been taking the medication for 2 weeks almost everyday. Maybe 3 days where I didn't take any at all. Most days I took only 5ml once but some I took 5 ml twice a day and a few days I took 10 ml twice a day. I am going off of it after tonight and I am wondering if I should expect any withdrawal symptoms and how bad they might be. Will I get the bad flu like symptoms after only 2 weeks of use?

2 weeks is a normal course of pain meds. You should have VERY minimal withdraw if any. I never had any wd's after 2 weeks of use. Good luck :)

You should not have any withdrawal after that minimal of use. If anything, maybe a little difficulty sleeping for a couple nights or a little diarrhea. Nothing that immodium & benadryl wont take care of. Hope this helps.
