hi.  i am clean from vicodin for 3 days.  it started monday as cutting back.  what i need to know is that it feels like every nerve in my body is on edge.  is my nervous system asking for vicodin?   i went from a huge amount for a long time.  thankyou

[bellabo]

morning all.  i want to thank you for your comments and advice.  i am still drug free and loving it.  i figure where the hell ends the hard work will start.  what a difference a night of sleep does. looking forward to having a clear head.  dont get me wrong i am still at the beginning.  i really appreciate the support and advice and hope i can help someone else  with questions of what to expect or words of support.  thank you.  bellabo

That is so great! You are giving me strength. I agree with overopiates. Your body has been numbed out for so long that by not taking pills, it's screaming at you. But it WILL get better. At least that is what everyone here is saying. I'm on day 1. I can't think about what's to come. All we have is now. Can you force yourself to exercise. Everyone says it does wonders.
Hang in there!

Hey congrats on 3 days that great!!

I think what you are experiencing is the normal anxiety that comes with the withdrawals. What helps for me is exercise. Works wonders I promise, even if you have to force yourself!!!

Try to keep your mind on anything else and know that this will pass.

Hang in there your doing great!!!! Try a warm bath, soak those nerves away and please keep posting with us
