Got completely off now on 5mg vics a day

[jpeaboogs]

I went cold turkey a year ago, for the last three months I've been doing 5-10mg of hydrocodone a day, Will I go through those terrible withdrawls again? I want to stop this sh&t. Any advice would be greatly appreiated

You are getting some good advice above ---  You should not have as much suffering to do off of 5 or even 10 mg of Vic ---  I think a couple of days of discomfort should see you through this ---  I congratulate you on seeing the potential for disaster by continuing to use and making the wise choice to bite the bullet now and get clean --- What a good day to decide as we all have a lot to be thankful for ---- All the best.  Please keep posting.

hi, jpeaboogs..as everybody else is celebrating the day, i gonna try my best here :)

first of all, congrats for your decision of not being an slave of these pills, and about wds, well, everybody is different but from my experience what it helped me this second time i went ct of hydros is that i followed the advices i found here from other's people experiences.

so, i would advise to u read the health pages on your right side...the thomas recipe and the amino acids protocol but i don't think your wds from using the last three months will be unbearable so be ready to have a sort of flu...

and take some good vitamins and minerals complex, the b's complex too...eat healthy, maybe the first days you can not eat a lot so have some green tea, gatorades...and some protein shakes... eat a lot of bananas to avoid the worst symptons of  the bloody rls ( there are also  otc remedies  like hylands restful legs, something like that ) , take some calcium + magnesium in the evenings and of course....a lot of hot baths/showers  and even if you don't feel like it , do  try some exercising (  even some walks around the house will help you ) . trust me this is the best thing to do,, exercise and these healthy habits. .

but most of all, do not be afraid because it can be done and you gonna do it so be positive and determined and.... gooooood luck :)

I'm not for sure but with such a low dose of vocodins I wouldnt think w/d would be too much. how many were you taking before you went c/t?
