Vicodin withdrawals question

Is it possible to have vicodin withdrawals after a week? I took my prescription as directed for a week and then when I stopped I felt kind of sick and had restless legs one night. That was 5 days ago and I still feel sick.

My daughter's are on an antibiotic at present which is not your standard amoxicillin type. They have been complaining a little about feeling sick as well. It could very well be associated to the antibiotic now that I remember their comments from a couple days ago.

I've gone through withdrawals before after a bad accident and it certainly felt like that. I was only taking 3-4 a day for a kidney infection. Hadn't had any painkillers for weeks before this. I guess the sick stomach and not feeling well could be from the strong antibiotics. Thanks

Maybe, and thats a big maybe.. Wd's really don't factor in until some extended use over a month, maybe a little longer unless you were taking large amounts.

If your useage was only a week, you should be fine if its been a week since your last dose..Concentrate on eating 3 squares and staying hydrated. If things don't improve much in the next day or so, then I would go back and see your Dr...Flu season is coming as well so don't rule out cold or flu like symtoms. My kids have been having a few stomach virus/flu like symtoms showing up recently along with other students at school..It is that time of year..
