PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!! QUITTING NORCO COLD TURKEY NEED SUPPORT AND HELP

[Maximilliana]

I've decided to quit norco cold turkey. I've been legally prescibed by my doctor 7.5s 4 daily and then 3 10s daily back and forth so basically only 30 mgs of hydrocodine daily. 3 or 4 pills a day. I get prescibed them for migraines back pain pinched nerves fibromialgyia ect...anyways im also on xanax 1 and 1/2 mg daily..i just want to quit these drugs i dont want to be dependent on norco any longer. I've experienced withdraw symptoms before and made it 3 days then relapsed. Im so sick and tired of these pills taking my life but i live in constant physical pain..id like to quit norco and replace for medical marijuana but as a single mom can't afford the extra 300 to get a legal card so until then I need advice on how to quit norco cold turkey and smoke weed instead. I smoked all the time before i had my first kid 11 yrs ago and it made everything better. I just want my life back I'll be 31 in one more day this is not living to me please give me any advice you can on replacing norco for weed or quitting cold turkey thanks so much.

You'll be alright Max, the fear of the wd's is almost always way worse than the actual thing.  You'll be depressed and feel like crap for a few days and it'll be hard to get any sleep but it wears off fairly.  Things are bad for the first few days with days 3 or 4 usually being the worst.  By day five you're on the downhill side and will feel noticeable better each day after that.  By 10-12 days you'll be just about symptom free.  The last thing to come back will be the ability to get a really good nights sleep.

But you will get through it!! I'm on day 5 now and I'm finally seeing the light! This is my first go around so I really don't have a ton of experience in this but I can tell you i have been addicted to those little evil pills for over 5 yrs and abused them bad!  I can offer advice on how to get to day 5!

You will start feeling better, you Will get more strength, you will get more energy, the chills, goosebumps, sweats, stomache issues will go away! Trust me! Just visit often for words of encouragement! It truly does help! Misery loves company!
