vicodin and percocet withdrawal....help!

[poisonarrow]

i'm on day 2 of no opiates right now. i have been taking roughly 12-16 lortabs or percocet 5's for the last 10 months. i could use some suggestions on what to do/take to ease the withdrawal symptoms. i started taking a wide spectrum multivitamin today, using imodium every 6 hours, advil for aches, drinking a TON of water, and taking hot baths. i feel like this is a good starting point, but would like to know if anyone else has had success with anything else. i don't have leg pain on RLS. would a body cleanse be useful to help eliminate toxins? also, how long does the acute stage of the withdrawals last? i guess that depends on the amount and how long. i'm just looking for suggestions...i know it won't be pain free.

thanks vicki. good to know. i think i'm gonna avoid the imodium and keep hydrating unless i'm in a social situation.....which probably won't happen for a few days anyway. i will definitely pick up some vitamin c...i need to do it tonight before things get much worse.

You have got a great attitude so far, so keep posting! I tried 4 Tylenol PM and a muscle relaxer on one of my detoxes and still didn't sleep. Hang in there, it does get better!
