How long will withdrawals last

Hello,

On Feb. 23, 2013 I broke my leg. Was on vicodin for 2 1/2 months 7.5 mg taken about 5 times daily. Then weaned off for another 1 1/2 months, and now have been completely off for 1 month. About the same time I started to wean off, which I kind of did too abruptly (I didn't know), my vision became very blurry. As I went on, I started to feel more symptoms, chills, shaking, headache, mind fog, irritable bowels, extreme pain, weakness in arms and body, exhausted, and of course the blurred vision and other vision problems such as floaters, visual snow, light is too light, dark is too dark. I am still experiencing all of these symptoms at 1 month off now! Not able to exercise because of still rehabbing from the broken leg. When will these withdrawal symptoms go away? What about the blurred vision? Can the withdrawals ever last long than the actual time I took the Vicodin?

Yeah, I'm in the boat that is inclined to think that there are other underlying medical issues happening here. Please be honest with your doctor and let them advise you. I really hope you start feeling better soon!

You've been off for 1 month? It's not withdrawal from Vicodin for that short of time. I'm not even sure 2.5 months is long enough to become fully physically dependent.
So something else is up.
For people that have been abusing for years and years then I could see having issues a month after
Talk to your dr please

it doesn't sound like you took the pills long enough to have horrible WDs BUT, if you're worried about it -- you've come to the right place to get help. my best opinion or piece of advice to you, is to talk to your doctor and let them know that you're concerned. believe it or not, MOST doctors appreciate honesty when it comes to these things.
