Please help! How long will these norco withdrawls last?

Hi, I've been using norco for about 2 years on a daily basis. I take at least 9 pills a day of 10/325. I recently got up to taking 3 pills at one time. My last pill was 48hrs ago and I feel really crappy! I am so sleepy and exhausted, but I can't sleep. The first night I slept for about an hour then I got up and went to work. The whole time at work all I wanted to do was go home and sleep. When I got home that was the last thing I could do. I tossed and turned all night. Finally I remembered that I had a few soma that I had taken a long time ago, so I took 1 and I slept for a full 4hrs. I am not going to take anymore soma I just want to be able to stay clear of all meds. Since I've stopped taking norco I've gone through so much. I am cold one min and hot the next. I am not hungry what soever, which is very weird. I sneeze all the time. My body is very weak and I feel kinda depressed. I have the choice of getting some more pills, but I'm trying very hard not to. I hate these withdrawls and I feel like maybe I shouldn't have gone cold turkey so I keep telling myself that maybe I should get these pills and try to come off of them slowly. Does anyone know how long these withdrawls will last? Any advice? PLEASE!! Thanks!

Thank you for the neurontin advise. I am in my first 24 hrs. I had to take my first single dose of Norco 750 after a severe anxiety attack which occured after 22 hours of cold turkey. I also took two Neurontin for the anxiety attack per your advise and it has subsided. I think if i take one Norco a day and two Neurontin a day I might be able to taper off because I was only taking 5-6 a day. What do you think?

This is an older post, you may want to start your own thread so that people will be able to help you! I am going through withdrawal right now I know how you feel! Nausea they say can be helped with dramamine or maybs phenergran (but I think that is rx). Wish you the best, stay strong you can do this!!
