What are the withdraw symptoms of Hydrocodone?

After taking Hydrocodone for several weeks, my doctor said it it time to stop taking it. Is it OK to stop taking this drug suddenly or should I gradually stop? Does anyone know if there are a lot of withdrawal symptoms from Hydrocodone?

Hydrocodone is an effective anti-cough agent, and as an opiate it is also an effective analgesic for mild to moderate pain control. When a regular user stops taking Hydrocodone, he will experience withdrawal symptoms within six to twelve hours but the symptoms are usually not life-threatening. The intensity and duration of the withdrawal symptoms depends on the level of addiction and varies greatly from person to person.

The withdrawal symptoms include :

-intense cravings for the drug
-irritability
-nausea or vomiting
-muscle aches
-runny nose or eyes
-dilated pupils
-sweating
-diarrhea
-yawning
-fevers
-chills
-inability to sleep
-depression

Stopping the use of hydrocodone can causes diarrhea, insomnia, muscle aches and depression. Symptoms generally start two to three days after stopping use and last about a week. These can generally be treated by over the counter medications including immodium, benadryl, ibuprofen or tylenol. The depression is the most problematic but some success has been shown with treatment with vitamin B-6.

Repeated hydrocodone use can lead to habitual craving and lead to both physical and psychological dependence. In those individuals who take hydrocodone for prolonged periods, sudden stoppage of the medication can lead to withdrawal symptoms. These may include extreme anxiety, difficulty breathing, vomiting, sweating, palpitations, lack of concentration and an intense craving for the drug.

I was a big time drug addict, & this was one of the drugs I withdrawed of off.
It's hard to stop a drug cold turkey, witch in most cases the drug can ither,
1. Kill you,
2. Get you locked up,
3. Hosbitilize you.

From my personal experiance of withdraw (even though I was withdrawing from many things) was terriabel.
*You may experiance the fallowing syptoms,*
Head achs/Migrains, Cold/Hot flashs, Shivers, Throwing up (and no not once, mulituple times), Faiting, Dirria, Loss of apitiate/Gain of apatite, & my least favorite it feels like you have bugs crawling all over you, and nothing you do can make it stop.

Every drug is dangoruse to pick up, altho.
People will still do it.
Codone is something simialar to what doctors proscribe for broncidous, flew, & such.

Rember, a few times is enough to get you hooked.
Then when you stop, it's not fun. At all.

I hope this helped.
