How long does it take to detox of Vicodin?

[fatema97502]

Hello,
After knee surgery 31/2 years ago I was put on Vicodin. Little did I know I would get hooked. I never really thought about it, since my doctor was giving it to me and I took it how he told me to. Well today is day 2 and night 3 of not having any vicodin. I have terriable legg cramps, sweets and I can not sleep. How long does this last? It is driving me crazy. I do not have any cravings for the vicodin. Just the withdraws are killing me. I have been drinking water and taking baths. But it doesn't help any.
I'm thinking about going to the emergency room and see if they can help me with my withdraws. I have heard about a pill that helps, but then I'm scared of taking another pill as well.
Please let me know how long this is going to last..........

i started taking vicodin when i was 17. i didnt even know what it was when my mother started giving them to me for severe headaches i was having due to stress. i just knew they made me feel great as if my problems did not exist besides the fun of the high. eventually i started asking my grandmother for her norcos. by the time i turned 18 i was taking 4-5 a day getting them from whoever had them, making sure i had them for all times of the day, mainly for school so it would seem less unbearable. eventually i dropped out and found a job. Things got worse when i started making money because then i could buy them and get even more since usually no one turns down money. now im 19 and taking 5-6 a day. my whole family has a prescription for the highest mgs. of vicodin so you can imagine the collection i have. i want to quit but i feel like i would never be able to function normally without my pills. i cant stand people or situations without them. i went to a mental health clinic where i used to get varieties of anxiety medication to see if they would prescribe them to me again only to be thrown into the mental ward for my PAST record of depression and thoughts of suicide. As you can imagine that traumatized me enough to avoid going to places like that ever again after spending just one night in the hospital. After the ordeal i found myself having a whole family with a history of past drug addictions of heroine, cocaine, alcoholism, etc.. it seems i will never get the healthy support and help i need. just more pills. i realize if i really want to stop i will have to do it myself with the strong will to slow myself down eventually to zero pills/day.

I posted on Dec 13 when I had just gotten into the "Thomas Recipe" concerning my hydrocodone addiction. At that time I was two weeks into it and had gone down to 2 a day. I was taking the suggested vitamins 3 times daily (go heavy on the L tyrosine) and it is now a month later and I am down to 1/2 a pill a day with no discomfort whatsoever and willentirely next week.

There was actually very little/no discomfort the whole time and if I needed a half a pill or 1/4 of one, I took it. Your body will do the rest and the need will ebb away.

This really worked for me and I hope it might help you. God Bless
