hydrocodone and diazapam withdrawal

[mmah]

After being on vicodin and valium for an extended period due to back and knee problems and now being in physical therapy, I have begun reducing the medication I was taking. I believe I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety and diareah. How long will this last will reducing intake of these medications gradually until no more are taken work?

Is your med called stadol?

[radioboy74]

No why do you ask if it's that one.  Is that one to say away from?

[GOD]

It would be easier for us to help if you gave us the specific name of the medication you are on. There are plenty of people who check this board daily who can help.

radioboy:
i have a question for you. this question is based on some assump-
tions i have that i hope are wrong! most of your postings are question about identifying unknown drugs that you have come across. i myself am a recovering addict who used to read the PDR as if it were a book on the best seller list. from your posts i've gathered that you suffer from migraine head aches. this is a malady i would wish on no one. are you working with a MD whos speciality is headaches? how long have you had this problem? what praticular therapys have you tried?

see radioboy, i don't recall you ever posting anything but inquirys as to what a praticular drug is, what it can do, or if anyone has ever tried it. i've been a drug addict for 35 years. i am willing to share any knowledge i have with you, if it is a legitimate question. i am not willing however to further you chasing down a high.if that is why you post here i have a few things you should know:
1) i wish you goodluck
2) if your going to be an addict, realise that most knowledge you
will need to survive is aquired the "hard way." i can't speak for
anyone else on this forum, but i don't want to take on any ap-
prenticeships.
3)i (or any other forum participant) am very reluctant to share
knowledge with you, that may unintentionly lead you to hurt your-
self. i've got enough blood on my hands already.

i hope to god i'm wrong about all of this. i don't mean to judge
you, as i have been well down the road i think you are getting
started to travel.

Listen to Kip, he knows all the horrors that drug use can bring.
Drugs destroy everything you've ever had, worked for, dreamed of, and the worst part is it robs you of your soul!
The sadness and emptiness you are left with after the 'fun time' is over are almost unbearable at times.  To look back and see the damage that was caused along the way if something that you have to face and get passed, but know that a life with drugs is a disaster waiting to happen, no one can escape it's inevitable destruction!!!
Good luck, and like Kip says, keep an angel on your shoulder! :)

kip I agree as well.  I hope I'm wrong in my assumptions as well, however, I know plenty of people (my brother included) that stole any and all drugs and did the research later.........I hope that isn't the case, either way, we are all here for you.
