i was at 80-100 mgs a day and felt yucky for 4 days physically..back to work day 5 as i took a long weekend off...the yearnings go on for a while but for me did not start til about 2 months after detox when my energy had not returned..no cravings for a while but then the excitement of being clean wore off for me..everyone is different so be patient and read up on the thomas recipe..tyrosine helped my energy return along with exercise daily..good luck and have fun on ur trip

IDK CC70...............

IM JUST FED UP AND DISGUSTED AT THIS VERY MOMENT. IM 28, HAVE A BEAUT FAM, HOME.....AND MY MIND JUSTMISSES VICODINS

SAD......

[cc70]

Well to go on and off like that must be awful...and if you don't have valid prescriptions very expensive to buy all the time on the streets.
IDK but I was just done...I even flushed the last 10 down the toilette...but I had 13.5 years of recovery off of everything (drinking, drugs, smoking EVERYTHING BUT COFFFEE) so for me it is just having lived the life as an addict and then that many years clean...I knew what I was missing when I got hooked on them....and it was a painful 6 months of abuse but I am done...day 3 feel edgy and sad and achy but I dont care...just want to feel normal again....it take time....I also fly out on my day 7....and have to work 2 weeks at trade shows and smile and be happy around a ton of people......But to me that is good b/c it iwll get me out of my head....and keep me busy again. Hope that helps you some....

Ive been hooked on hydro many times and for me it's all over at 3-4 days. Heroin, Dilaudid and others are much more severe with pojectile vomiting etc. and last longer. The best remedy for WD is a postive frame of mind and some meds help too.

[itisntbetta]

cmon man you can do it im on day 4 it gets better man its rough i dont sleep much just stay strong man best of luck

[frank44271]

here is the question i have in my head that bothers me.....

IF I HAD A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF VICODIN AND NEVER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING THEM, WOULD I USE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?

The answer to that question is: YES

[CBS426]

I know how you feel. It does sound sad, but it's something that each and every one of us deals with. It's hard to go back to being "normal". I make a lot of deals with myself. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You could always try it. I start off with telling myself to give it a certain amount of time, and if I still feel like that then screw it I give up. Or I'll say, I'll call one person in the program, and by the time we get off the phone if I don't feel any better I'll use. Most the time I feel better. I also write myself little notes when I'm more optimistic for times when I'm not so sure. Keep posting, and I'll keep you in my prayers!

sleeping has been like 2 hour late nap, then up till 5am and wake up at 9 am.....

i take once a day vitamins, and drink glaceau vitamin water

eating alot of dark cohocalets....

idk all....im just severly depressed and miss the vicodin regimen (as sad as it sounds)

[dominosarah]

I would think you would be starting to feel better in the next day or 2.  Are you taking the aminos or any vitamins??  That will help alot.  Try and get some exercise in also.  I would think you would be good for your trip..  Your energy level wont be as much but getting on some vitamins will help.  Drink plenty of fluids.......Congrats on 4 days!!!!!   sara

[shelby001]

your flight to ca. should be fine with 10 days under your belt.  maybe the change will do you good?!  we need to get on with our lives, without the pills and you are.....good for you!!
take care

You are doing good. Everyone is different on w/d on how they effect you and how long it will last. Day 4 is great be proud.

[CBS426]

I bet by tomorrow you will be feeling much better. Have you been able to sleep at all? Have you tried the Thomas Recipe? I would say atleast by day 7 you will be over this enormus hump.

[frank44271]

[road2recovery]

Welcome to the forum..how much vicodin were you taking ? and for how long?  You are probably getting different answers because everyone is so different when it comes to w/d's...We are all here to help you get through this....
God bless

i was on hydro for 4 years.....60 mgs day.....i detoxed in summer and was clean for 90 days.....i relapsed and been on hydro 60 mgs day all over again since labor day....

today is my 4th day of detox

[shelby001]

hi, the detox period and the severity will depend on the amount you were taking and the length of time of your use.  also, everyone is different.(that's why you get several different answers)  i have not beat this addiction yet but have gone through numerous wd's (usually when my script ran out)  i would say 4 to 7 days physical stuff and a life time of the mental stuff!!!  meaning, that we need to work on staying sober forever.  many people post that the wd's are the easy part, it's staying off the meds which is the real battle.

[CBS426]

Depending on how much you were taking, and for how long. Also, everyone is different. I've detoxed off of heroin several times, and each detox is different. Sometimes it lasts only 4-5 days, but then when my habbit was really large, and I was going on 2 years straight it took me 3-4 weeks until MOST the withdrawal symptoms were gone. I still struggled with sleeping. Can you give us some more info on your abuse? Have you already begun detoxing? If so for how long?

[badsneakers]

I was not a long time user, but did use heavy...16 10/325's hydrocodones a day for a while...the yernings for the drug left me about five or six days in, still had wd/s for at least a weak and on and off different symptoms here and there, well, abou 20 days in and they still return once in a while...but it's better than being hazy.

good luck.
