Need info, plz....

I've been off hydrocodone (very high dose) for 3 wks now... It's been rough but I'm still hangin in there. But... I still have diarreah and I still feel very depressed and have no energy. It takes all I got to get out of bed in the morning. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how long?

first congrats on 3 weeks....for me the diarrhea lasted quite a long time.  the lack of energy and depression is the last part of wds and can hang on a bit.   i felt good after 8/9 weeks....i was a heavy user for almost 4 years though...everyone is different just remember it will get better as every day passes...keep winning the battle and stay strong....it just takes time but so worth the wait...best of luck to you...maria :)

I think you should be over the diarreah by now, so you may have a virus or something going on with that.    The depression and lack of energy is very common.   They seem to hang around for awhile.  Give it a month or so before you ask a Dr. for some help if it doesn't get better.   It is very disapointing to have depression, I know.  As well as the lack of energy, it kinda makes ya miserable.  We all (or most all ) have gone through this.   Try to get some excercise in as much as possible, I know it is tough to do at first but it helps make you feel some better.  Keep posting and asking questions,  read others posts and previous pages for information that might help you.  Best wishes
