Post BEEN off vics for 1.5 days and in pain!

Hello all,

I just signed up. I need some assistance here, I have been of vics for 1.5 days cold turkey and I feel so bad. I was taking about 4-5 a day for 2months. I have so much tension in my neck and my lower back hurts, I have hot and cold sweats and feel like I have the flu!
I cant afford to take off of work so I am here doing the best I can, any advise on how to alleviate the symptoms and how long does this last for?

Thanks for all the help you can give me!

since you were only taking 4-5 a day for a few months you should be ok in 4-5 days but everyone is different......The flu like symptoms are the w/d's......bone pain,shakey,leg cramps,anxiousness,the runs,just basically feeling like total crap! Fatigue is another one.You are doing a wonderful thing for yourself and future by getting off them now...can you imagine if you had taken them longer(even one month more!) because the longer you take them and the more you take makes the w/ds worse.I am currently one and half months clean from oxys and vics...30-40 5mg oxys a day or 20-25 10/500 lortaqbs a day...whichever I could get my hands on.My addiction lasted 3 months and the w/d's were horrible because I also went cold turkey....you could try taking 800mg of ibuprofen 3x a day for the acheness also if you have any benzo's (xanax,klonopin,valium) you could take one if you REALLY NEED IT!!But be careful with those because they are also VERY,VERY addictive....I truely wish you the best of luck and keep posting it helps!
Okie
