Norco Detox

Updated August 11, 2011

I had a work injury that crushed several discs in my neck and I have recently undergone fusion surgery which went well. However, I was not prepared for the pain I experienced. I have been on 10/325 norco for 7 weeks. I only took the Appropriate Rx amount or less; never more than 5 pills in a day.
When I got to the point where I felt like I could manage the pain, I quit taking norco cold turkey. I wigged out. I experienced gnarly anxiety, mood swings, burning in my legs and feet, nausea, and elevated bp. I am trying to wean off the drug on my own but am super discouraged.
Can anyone give me pointers on exactly how to do this?

Have you consulted your doctor for advice?

Your body will get used to any medication you take regularly, for awhile, even if you don't abuse it and take more than prescribed and a sudden cessation can result in withdrawal symptoms.

This combination of Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen isn't time released, so you might be able to cut the pills, so you are gradually taking smaller and smaller amounts.
