how long norco withdrawl?

[addict5000]

how long will the withdrawl last for norco,?  a year and a half, 5 tens per day sometimes six?  i want to do this so badly, but i am so stressed that it will interfere with my job, i have to work there is no way i can take off, more than three days, and then i have to be back, and i deal with the public for 12 to 13 hours a day, customer service, i already experiance the irritation when i have gone more than 5 hours, and i take 1 and a half to 2 at a time.
this is crazy, when i was younger i was addicted to some serious street drugs for many years and fineally i got off them and was clean for 5years, and then "bam" due to back pain, i am introduced to NORCO, never before in my life had prescription meds ever been tempting to me at all, and i have been blindsided, so now i am scared that i won't ever get off of these, and i know i have to be done and ready, so here i am, and i will begin

If you could down dose or taper your use over a week and a half or 2 weeks, that would help you get thru this if missing work is not an option..The drawback will be that you will feel irritable and somewhat anxious during this time..That why many fail at tapering..It stretches wd's over a few weeks verses one week of hard symptoms..Which ever way you choose to go with this, you need to mentally prepare for the symptom's..Most of the major symptoms will be gone in 3 to 4 days, but restlessness, lack of energy and insomnia may linger for the second week. After 3 weeks most see everything getting back to normal with exception to a lingering anxiousness...

Hello there well here goes the short of it, you are looking at a weeks worth of hell, and then a slow transition back to life, expect sleepless nights, leg twitches, bad depression, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, diarrhea, among others.  For me the worst is the sleepless nights and depression.  May god help you through, stay strong and kick this habbit, trust me life is alot better without meds.  Im here to help anyway i can.

It takes a good week but I will not lie, week two will be difficult, you may lose sleep and feel bad, yawning ect...BUT it will get better.  Exercise exercise and did I say exercise when you feel able after week one.  It WILL make you feel better.  Take hot baths for the aches and get some bio freeze to rub on your legs so they will not hurt so much.  You will be fine.  If you can get some clonidine it will help with your heart racing and chills ALOT.  Good luck YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Hi-
Yes,there's only one way to do this and that is to stop! If you're starting today,you may feel better by the weekend. Be sure to force fluids and eat. Have some Immodium on hand!
Exercise as much as you can. I think the first week is hard but you can do it. You won't feel wonderful but you'll live and you'll feel great when this is behind you!!
