I have had fibro for almost 20 years and have tried everything out there with no help. About 6 years ago my Dr suggested taking Vicodin. At first because it is a narcotic I hesitated but finally agreed to try it. It actually did give me relief and I only took between 1/2 - 1 tablet a day mostly at night. About a month ago it stopped working. My Dr said that can happened and that I should stop taking it. So we tapered the dosage so it lessened the chance of withdraw . About 2 days after stopping I started withdrawal symptoms. Sweating, aches and pains(already have those from fibro) but worse and not being able to sleep. My Dr was vague how long withdrawal would last. My question is if anyone has experienced this and how long withdrawal lasts. It's hard dealing with it on top of the fibro. Thanks
