off norcos for almost 2 days

I've heard that the 3rd day of detox from opioids can be the worse.  If this is true; is there anything to make myself not feel so bad?????

i have just quit codeine, 3 weeks today, i went cold turkey, i think this is in the same group as  opioids, no sure soz!!!!, i was taking 12.8mg x 60 aday, a lot, i found the first 3/4 days unbearable, but day 5 was the real killer for me, i felt like i had been hit by a bus,, got so bad that day by the end of it i was wishing i would get run over by a bus, everyone is defferent thou.no matter what day is the worst, you have to just put up with it, show ityou are stronger than the pills will ever be, it does get easier, almost without you knowing, you have gone 2 days already, you dont want to give up now as you will have to go throu the 2 days all over again,
Cathy5841 is so so so right in what she has wrote, sounds easier than it is i know, but it really will help, just 10/15mins walk a day can make a lot of difference, ( i walked up and down my stairs)  while doing it felt like s**t, but 5 mins later you feel the benefit

anyway, good luck, hope day 3-4-5 go fast for you,
keep us posted
