withdrawls off norco support/info?

by cm2121, 24 minutesI have been on norco 10/325 for about a year and a half I suffer from a hip injury and tendonitis in my legs..at first I took them here and there half at a time not exceding 2 a day...then as pain got worse I started taking aubot 3  a day on bad days sometimes four but only the past couple months have I done this and noticed now half a pill only works for pain for about a half hour or so then I feel anxiety and withdrawl like symptoms...I am prescribed 60 a month and the past couple months I run short and have to taper down each time. My refill is friday and I tapered from 3 to 2 to 1 and a half the past week.  The other night I had to take a extra half cause my pain was high so it shorted me today and I took a half a pill at 7:30 am...im feeling rrstless legs mainly and csnt focus...I do get anxiety but I have suffered from that my whole life and can deal...the worst feeling is the upper back anxiety feeling...the weeks I have been tapering I have felt horrible no throwing up or anything  and mild diarrhea.   Since I took a half  so 5mg at 7:30am its been 8 hrs  how long should my withdrawls last...I do take gabapentin for nerve pain and heard it helps so yook one 600mg about a half hour ago....when should I feel the worste?  I dont wanna be on these anymore I dont like pills running my life, I like being in control of that...ehats different is today I am not craving a pill I do have a half left but I dont wanna take it!  Any support or helpful tips would be great.  I rather be in bad pain then worrying about when to take a pill.  Just wanna know if the worste has started or not?   Should I take the other half tomorrow?  Or will it prolong things as I feel like thats what tapering has been doing!   Im sleeping fine and I am hungry... if anyone can have some insight the support eill really help thank you :)

Im going on 14 hours w out a pill and I dont feel bad I feel better im a little achey and a little anxiety but thats it...should I expect more tomorrow?  I know I was on  a lower dose and I tapered to pretty much 1 pill the past couple weeks...I see my doc tomorrow.I wanna be free of these even if im in a lot of pain.  I dont like meds co.trolling my life or how I feel...I do take half a 5mg vallium at night but thats it im also on gabapentin 600mg for nerve pain and I think this has helped withdrawls.  Does it get worse?
