I have been taking anywhere from 4 to 12 norco or percocet a day for the last year because of sciatic pain. The thing is i have been pain free for about two months and have tried to quit three times but cant. When I stop taking the pain medication I immediately start to get restless legs. Then I get chills all over my body. Then my skin will start to crawl uncontrollably. I will be freezing cold but sweating everywhere. I get a fever, stomach cramps, diarreah, etc. It is horrible! Every single time I will end up taking a pill bc I have to go to work and just cant function. I also feel incredibly lethargic, and like everything I lift weighs a thousand pounds. What do I do? I REALLY dont want to have to take these stupid pills anymore. They are ruining my life, every flipping thing I do revolves around them! Help!
you have to wean yourself off of them slowly
