Get pro-biotics to help with your appetite and digestion, they really do make a big difference.
What everyone else has said about baths too, 3-4 a day really does help.
That's a large dose, do you have a painful condition aswell? For me I found that by about the end of the 3rd week and into the 4th my body started to produce it's own painkillers again and I could deal with the pain again, most of week 3 was hell mentally as the voice tells you that you'll always need it to deal with pain.

Congratulations on your decision to get your life back from the grips of Opiates. Lesa gave you some great into on a course of action to take. I hope your taper will ease you through your final push to freedom. You WILL get through this, as so many have done on this forum. I've been clean from Vicodin for over 7 months now. The physical stuff was over in 3 weeks. The rough stuff lasted 2 days and the restlessness lasted 2 weeks on a diminishing curve. I'm going to also jump on the HOT BATH band wagon! Can't say enough for what they can do for the restlessness and sleep problems. Make sure you put Epsom Salts in it.
Sleep will be at a premium for about 2 weeks and then your body will start back to sleeping naturally. The opiates have given us the wrong type of sleep and we have to pay that all back for a while. So sleep when your body wants to, don't try forcing it. That always caused me anxiety on top of not sleeping. Get some Alteril to help you with sleep when it starts back to normal. But stop using it ASAP. Constant use of sleep meds just slows down the body's natural ability to sleep.
It's all worth it when you come out the other side of the tunnel and into recovery. Keep on posting and letting us know how you're doing.
