Thanks for commenting, I am doing much better now and I think I am pretty much only experiencing nicotine withdrawal symptoms now. They're helping me out in the smoking forum. I will probably add caffeine back to my life in moderation because it's so mild I think I can handle it but I may just use coffee instead of energy drinks. I think I wasn't experiencing really any symptoms from the hydrocodone other than like a hangover (does that exist?) and a hangover from drinking, but I was using them to help get through the nicotine withdrawal which is recipe for disaster.
This forum as well as the smoking forum help a lot though.
Hi David - welcome to the forum.
You have alot going on, but you are in the right place.
You indicate that you have been taking the hydrocodone for the last week to 10 days. If that's all the longer you have been taking them, then you should experience very little withdrawal from them at all, typically one usually needs to take them for about 21 days to really experience any dependence. The back ache and irritability could be from them, but full withdrawal from hydrocodone usually starts within 6 -12 hours from the last dose. Runny nose, the craps, and being cold are some other symptoms.
I was never really a smoker, so I can't comment too much on the nicotine withdrawal, but from friends who have quit, the irritability and anxiety are usually ones that they complain about.
On the alcohol - you are young, so it is good that you realize that you may have an addictive personality - so congratulations for acting now before you really get into a bad place. Quitting such a combination of everything at once can be a challenge, but what the heck. I can't handle the energy drinks - that would sent me through the roof, but the main symptom you would suffer there would be headache from lack of caffeine. Take some ibuprofen for the back ache and headache, that should do you just fine.
Best of luck - keep posting and let us know how you are doing. Take Care
