How long does hydrocodone stay in the system?

I have been off painkillers for about 2 weeks and still get the chills and diarrea. Is this still the remainence of the hydro? If so are there any ways to cleanse my system besides water? Thank you for this forum. I really enjoy reading all the support people give each other.

Ive been taking them for 5 years, kicked once. But now they have toasted my attitude, depression ETC. life is like something I dreamed! So now I've exceeded way beyond my script. So i buy more, steal them from some one and just ashamed at everything, scream go crazy at my wife even when fully dosed!. I never dreamed it would have negative effects on my brain?? This *****!! I need this community to help me kick for good. I related to 2.5 hrs of stories. Today i took about the equal of 8-12 Vic. I too use them for energy?? I related to too much stuff!! and tomorrow i begin my journey into the painful reality of saying goodbye, have 5 or 6 tabs for my wife to rash-in out for the gnarly leg aches and massive stomach stuff.,maybe to ease it a tiny but this is not going to be fun. :(   I have to do this I'm am not me!!! thanks for this place it's a lot more people then me and an epidemic it seems! i asked years ago for 30 a month, just for what i need for multiple sclerosis so he starts me at 120? WTF!!!! he and the one now wants me addicted and coming back to them!! Uhhhh!! violates their oath if ya ask me!!

This is my first time posting.  I am 3 weeks out from putting the pills away!!!  I feel like crap, however I liked what Rex said, get outside ourselves and it helps.  As for my spouse he didn't understand and it scared him to watch me detox because he lost a wife to pills when his kids were babies, so I had empathy for him and just told him I would fine, I trust God and I'd do it, ugly as it was!!!!!!!! I did and I am still affected by symtoms of withdrawl and a little self pity, but hearing all you guys know what its like helps!! thank you,

hello... I had 2 back surges. this yr. one on 2/10 & 3/16. anything I would ask for the second dr would give me. when the 6-10 7.5 hydros didn't work I went to 10mg and he gave mr Val. 10mg with it. I'm on day 12 right now with nothing at all but my tens unit. feeling like crap.. when will I see the light? are the head games that bad? I have a baby on the way nxt march and want this to be over with so I can be a daddy and a great husband. I'm on a sleeping pill but, I'm up thinking all the time about those damn pills. cold turkey is how I went. I took the pill box I had to my folks. out of site out of mind but, the pain is there.
