Twitching? day 2 clean off Fioricet

[TxTornado1010]

Anyone have real bad issues with twitching when they were dozing off, and through-out the night when off there meds. Its axtually more irritating than anything?
Slept 7 hours, no sweats, but these whole body muscle twithes. Just wonder, as sleep becomes esier, and my system clears over the next few days, will these go away? Only thing I took yesterday was 1/2 of a .25 mg xanax at bed.
Advil, hot baths , and keeping super busy through out the day, made for a wonderful night ( well it felt delicious to me) of sleep...when will the rest clear? I still have Hearing stuff ( weird noises, sometimes sounds like talking, or singing..LOL ) and visual, but only at night for the visual..just shadows in my perifreial vision..
Thanks everyone for your blessed support!

Thanks, Bob641....I tapered from a 5 per day stint, got down to 2 per day, and went cold turkey, keeping that junk pumping into my blood stream was way worse, even at small levels then just jumping off. I felt pretty controled, even on day 2 I am doing SO much better. I just couldn't see dragging it out another couple weeks. I think I made the right choice, because the symptoms have dropped dramtically, even today, the anxiety has been very minimal, the only thing I have notice, sweating while working, and clenching my teeth ( ouch..thats a sore jaw I have right now...but the body will NOT win over the mind..Advil will just have to do! ) Heaveens if thats all I have to suffer through, I must have helped the worse of it out by tapering to 2 per day! Bring it on DANG pills..LOL..I will be the winner!!!

Careful with Fioricet withdrawal.How many were you taking? Did you wean off or did you stop abruptly? Cold turkey stopping Fioricet could be dangerous, seizures may occur, I did had an addiction problem w/Fioricet, a big one, years ago, tried twice to stop cold turkey and had seizures both times.

there is an article in the health pages on rls..i never had it so i cant help too much other than whet i have read about it..and i do know it passes...i do know statistically exercise decreases incidence of rls and that many are depleted in iron...also it is dopamine related and has to do with the fact that u have upset the levels in ur body by quitting the pills...tonic water is used by some and is said to help/quinine....also some have it who never used like my mom....she has an rx from her doctor for sumpin to take for it...it comes and goes for her..hang tight as all of these things pass...and u will sleep like a baby
