Think my mom is detoxing off of hydrocodone does anyone know the symptoms?!


Question: she is being really mean and has the poops


Answers: she is being really mean and has the poops

I know them..Muscle cramps, diarrea, sweats, chills, hard to sleep, bad calf cramps and you are angry because you are in so much distress. Tell her to go to the doctor and get some Klonipin. It will help her a bunch. Take tylenol for the chills and sweats and tylenol PM to help her sleep. Here is something that will help the leg pains.
Fill a gym sock up with dry cooking rice
Tie off the end
Microwave for 60-90 seconds on high
Check to make sure it's not too hot
Apply for about 10 mins.

Don't throw it away. You can use it for months as long as the rice is dry.

If your Mom has been taking a lot of pain meds or has been taking them for awhile she is not going to feel very good for about a week or so. The best way to get through it is with the klonapin. Hope she feels better soon. And please try to understand she is going through some very bad symptoms that make you very miserable.

Please help her be as comfortable as she can. She will thank you for it when it is over. I'm sure she is very proud of you for caring for her. She is very lucky to have a child that is so loving. Bless you

Those are definetly 2 symptoms. She can also expect leg cramps, restlessness, nausea, itching, night sweets and if she has been on them for a long time probably severe stomach cramping and vomiting.

Hope shes gonna be okay, good looking out for asking.
Good Luck

Could be, or she could just be sick. I can tell you tho that coming off of any pain medication is not easy on the body. If that's what it is, it should be better in a few weeks.

Could be. Hydrocodone can cause constipation, so I imagine coming off it would have the opposite effect. I have chronic pain, so when I miss a dose, I get edgy, but since I know what it is. I can control it. She should see a doctor. coming off unaided can cause stroke and heart attacks.

Yes That is it , and they will shake really Bad , and have major Anxiety. So Just let her get through it , and it should be OK , after a few Days , like 3 or 4 Days. But Why is she Detoxing. Cant she just call the Doctor and have them take her off of them slowly.

If she has had migraines since she was 16 and the Doctors don't to anything but give her pain meds, then she needs to see another Doctor. There are two things that I know for sure that causes migraines. If she took birth control pills, the wrong ones can give you migraines. If her female hormones are low, that to will give you migraines. Has she had those checked? You don't say how old your Mom is now, but age does make a difference. She has diarrhea because she is going off pain medications. Pain meds can constipate you. She could take Imodium D for the diarrhea. Symptoms, two you said, I would add chills and shakiness or nervous. Good luck to you and your Mom.
