Withdrawal
Vicodin 
Vicodin
is one of the most commonly abused prescription pain medications today. Vicodin
is an opioid-based pain medication. Vicodin is a derivative of opium, which
is also used to manufacture heroin. Individuals with a Vicodin addiction become
deeply depressed, and their thinking, attention, and judgment become impaired.
Their thoughts dwell on the next high, although they tell themselves they are
still taking Vicodin for pain or to avoid the withdrawal Vicodin symptoms. Individuals
with a Vicodin addiction often truly feel physical pain, but it is psychologically
produced.
If a regular Vicodin user
stops taking Vicodin, he or she will experience Vicodin withdrawal within six
to twelve hours but the symptoms are usually not life-threatening. The intensity
of Vicodin withdrawal depends on the degree of the Vicodin addiction. For example,
the symptoms of withdrawal from Vicodin may grow stronger for twenty-four to
seventy-two hours and then gradually decline over a period of seven to fourteen
days. In a case where the Vicodin addict is taking two to three pills a day,
the withdrawal from Vicodin won't be to painful. But in the case where the Vicodin
addict was taking fifteen to twenty pills a day, the withdrawal from Vicodin
will be quite uncomfortable.
The symptoms of Vicodin
withdrawal include but are not limited to:
- restlessness
- muscle pain
- bone pain
- insomnia
- diarrhea
- vomiting
- cold flashes
- goose bumps
- involuntary leg movements
- watery eyes
- runny nose
- loss of appetite
- irritability
- panic
- nausea
- chills
- sweating
