Withdrawal from Vicodin

[Antoinette]

I've been taking about 6 Vicodin a day for over & year & now I'm out. What will the withdrawal be like? Anything I can do as far as over the counter products or easy to obtain herbal or natural remedies? Please answer fast. Thanks

I'm so sorry, I still havent found the Thomas Recipe... I'm going to keep lookin. If anyone knows it please pass it on for us.  I too am going to need it when I stop the vics.  It's a recipe filled with these different vitamins and stuff to take to help w/ the withdrawls.  I'm going to keep looking for it...

Thanks. But I'm pretty sure I won't be stopping on the way home anyway. I see myself going straight home & pretending I have the flu. What kind of thing is that to do to a great guy & the best kid in the world. But being on drugs is fake, too isn't it? I know I'm being awful to myself & I don't deserve it, truly. I guess I'll get better.

Okay I found the recipe.  I just read your last 2 messages. Sorry I didnt see them befor.  Well your right it's sunday what can you do.  Let me ask you this why were you on the vicodin?  I may be able to give you an alternative once I find out why you  were on it.  Okay here's the recipe.L-tyrosine 500mg 8 times a day week 1 then 4 a day the following weeks.
B-6 100mg 2 times a day
Vitamin C--E--and A
Calsium-magnesium
A stong multiple vitamin
Phosphorous
Copper
Maganese
Imodium for the runs.
Taking a Benzo is also part of the recipe, but is a huge contraversy so I wont go into that.
Eat bananas for leg spasms and shakes.
Drink Gatorade for lost electrolytes due to the runs. If you still have depression after a week, some people recomment 5htp
If you want to email me you can @ ***@****  
I hope this helps

I'd like to write to e-mail you but I don't think it's a good idea from work...but thank you. I originally got them for back pain; just chronic; not due to an accident & I have a prescription for 90 a month & can't get anymore than that & obviously I'm beyond the 3 a day. So there you have it.
I'll cut & paste & print the recipe but even if I was to stop on my way home, I don't think there'll be any place open that'll have all that stuff.
P.S. I just figured out where to put your name...no mold on me! :) Gotta keep smiling, right?

That's a good way to think.  YOu will get better. The pain does go away.  Your going to feel the withdrawls if you just stop cold turkey.  YOu need to talk to your doctor tomarro and let him know whats going on.  I'm sure he'll want to wean you off.  He'll most likely give you something for the anxiety too.  I just don't want you to have to go through all that pain.  You do have support here.  This forum will try there best to help you as much as possible.
