Addiction Norco

To whom it may concern,
I am getting off of my Norco medication. I stopped using about two to three weeks ago I have been getting these migraines. I went to the addiction recovery center and they gave me all these pills that make me sleepy and can't function. My Question is how long are these with drawls going to last? I basically went cold turkey. The palm of my hands keep sweating. I am crying all the time and I want to be a great Mom for my kids. Please Help me?!?!?!?!?

I am just now at 3 weeks, and yesterday was the first time in what seems like forever that i was feeling a little better. Today is day 22 for me, so i am hoping is just continues to get better!
How many were you taking a day and for how long? Have you ever quit before?
I remember the last time i quit, i made it over a month and then just started to think that something was seriously the matter with, me because i just didn't seem better. But now i know that i was still in W/D's.
It's going to take a while, but i know it will get better!!!!
Good luck!!!!

What other medications are you taking?  Some medications can counter your recovery off the hydrocodone.  I just hope they did not give you Tramadol.  Don't take Tramadol!

Hang in there --- you are almost through this and just keep reminding yourself why it is you want to be clean ---- those kids deserve their mom.    You said 2 or 3 weeks- --- if it is closer to 3 then you are almost to the finish line.  Keep on keeping  on.  All the best.
