I'm just going to have to stop!. How long can I expect to feel like crap for!?!? Any tips or home remedies to make the WD symptoms a little bit more barable!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are way better routes then methadone and suboxone!. Have you ever heard of subutex!. Its a miracle detox, (I work at a rehab)!. The best thing about subutex is its nothing like a maintains drug!. It main purpose is detox!. You use it to help get through the worst of it and then you tapper off!. Its great talk to a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It all depends on how much u were taking and for how long!. Regardless, you can't die or suffer dangerous wd symptoms and cold turkey isn't as horrific as it sounds!. Expect 4-6 days of acute symptoms: Chills, aches, pain, yawning, depression, diarrhea, anxiety, insomnia!. After that you will start to feel better and know that the remaining depression and anxiety can last up to 2 months afterwards!. It shouldn't be severe but it can trigger you to get back on the vicodin (desperately wanting to feel great again)!. If you find yourself repeatedly going back to Vicodin, Suboxone is a good idea!. Whatever you do, don't go on Methadone!. Many say it winds up worse than being on Vicodin in the first place!. Suboxone is a safe, mild and relatively easy way of distancing yourself from the addictive cycle you used to engage in!. Eventually weening off of it under a doctor's supervision is safe and doable, although at times uncomfortable!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
vicodin is a very mild narcotic!.!.!. you probably wont feel many wd symptoms!. If you do, they medication is out of your system in 48 hours, and your physical withdrawl is over!.!. though!.!. the mental withdrawl is the real challenge, and that can last for a few months!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No matter what you do, if you are going to do the shake n bake method of detox-DON'T DO IT ALONE!
Have somebody there with you 24/7 for at least the first 48 hours-that way if you have a siezure they will be able to call an ambulance etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
