what to expect next with norco withdraw?

well i have tried to go cold turkey off of norco a few times before first time i made it 32 hours second time only 24 hours but i recently had a fire at my house and all my medication was burnt in it and of course my doctor wont replace it which i understand so im basically being forced to go cold turkey.... i am on day 4 of no norco the withdraw symptoms were minor becuase i had tylenol 4 with codeine to take the edge off and it did but now im out of those too and im wondering what to expect are the withdraws gonna be really bad? without the tylenol or did i get through the hard part the first three days

Since we aren't professionals and everyone is different I can't say. I have been off methadone for 7 days now and I am only having sleeping issues and back spasms.  

I do agree with the above post that taking the T4s is only going to delay the inevitable. There are a lot of resources on this forum that give advice on certain symptoms.

realistically for someone who has taken norco for 2 years at about 4-6 10mg pills a day how long will the depression and crying last?

You have only delayed the inevitable by trying to use the Tylenol - codeine is still  narcotic - even though a weak one. I would suggest that you read a lot of the posts here and look for support and information. Place more posts with questions or observations. Knowledge is power here.

Well you'll likely have issues sleeping but that is just part of it. Everyone is different but of all the opiates you could be on that's one of the lower ones. Just stay strong and pm me if you need support or have questions

It definitely wont be your best couple of days in your life,  But it is something that it totally manageable.  Especially if you get on here and read the WEALTH of information and support that is available here.  Also, I am no expert but tylenol 4s are pretty low on the scale of power pain pills so I know you will be able to make it through.  You have already almost made it through what would have been the norco w/ds so I say just keep it up and ask any questions on here you need!

If you would like to PM me that totally fine with any other questions.
