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 have been on Vicodin since October of 2008 for back issues from car accident, doc perscibed first 3 a day 10/650 and 1 10mg oxycontin at night for sleep everything was ok I took the meds as perscribed then as time went by he perscribed 4 day I went back and forth from vics to percocet. I am still perscribed 4 a day 10/650 vicodin but for the first time I realized that I had a problem when my script for 120 pills lasted only 2 weeks!! I am now scrambeling to find more I took my last 1/2 at 8:30am. I am ready to get off of these damned pills and live my life with my 2 kids and husband ( who is very supportive) I just want to get through the withdrawals and be back to normal. I have another perscription due on the 25th and im thinking with the help of my husband I am going to ween myself off and deal with the withdrawals that way. I cant do cold turkey with my job and 2 kids I wish I could! Thank you for all the posts and I know that I will get through this.
