REPLIED

the withdrawl symptoms will go away once the drug is completely out of your system I would suggest taking some sick days from work and have a friend or family member help you. once you stop you will feel bad for a few days but as the drug leaves your system you will start feeling better.

ACCEPTED

vicodin is a muscle relaxant ask your doctor for a non narcotic substitute like tizanidine it worked better than vicodin for me and when i stopped it no withdrawal
