dear opiateskill (and indeed they do - sorry for the omission) -

You really have to talk to a doctor about this. If you're in school, can you connect with some medical advisor there in confidence? You're clearly a bright human being, and it won't take a lot of persuading, surely, to convince you that doing this under medical guidance is important. Check out the link below about hydrocodone withdrawal which indicates that withdrawal symptoms can last as long as two weeks - but that's not forever. However, PLEASE talk to a doctor. And see about checking into an NA meeting. Even when you get over the physical effects of this (and you will), you'll need some support for the emotional and psychological 'stuff' that always attends addiction. You're not alone.

here's the link:
