Help with Vicodin WD symptoms

[Jodeegirl]

I am trying to taper off of vicodin.  I took 20mg Norco each day last week and now I am on day two of taking only 10mg per day.  I feel alot of depression and anxiety.  When can I expect this to fade.  I also have no energy or interest in anything.  I hate it and want to feel normal. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.  I just started a new job too so my comfort level is down because of that as well.  I'll give it a couple more days and stop altogether.  I have two days off of work in a row next week and I will plan to use those as the day I start with no medicine.  I'll let you know how it goes :)

THANKS for t your support

Hi & Welcome,

I have to suggest that you just quit at this point. All you are doing is prolong ing the inevitable. You could be done in a few days instead of going weeks the way you are. Since you down to a low dose the withdrawal will not be that bad. Let us know what is going on with you and we can make suggestions for things that helped us through the process.

Stick around.

I'm on day 9 off norcos and tapered for a few days. It just prolonged the inevitable. My suggestion Is just to stop all together. It will suck for 4-5 days and then still kinda suck with sleeping(for me anyway). If your gonna quit you'll have to go through it but it can be done. Just try to stay as positive as u can. I'm too tired to post all the things you can do to help with wds so I suggest just trolling these forums for a while and you'll learn alot. It helped me big time, not sure if all the things work but give em a try. Good luck and try to stick around these boards. The people on here are great...good luck you can do it.
