    What to expect?

    Sweating,IBS,shaking uncontrollably,no appetite,huge appetite,sleepiness,no sleep,the list is endless.

    Been there,done that.

    The urge to just want a little to take the edge off is overwhelming,the want to run away from yourself is tremendous.

    Man I am with you,I remember the feelings all too well!

    I've been on dyhydrocodeine for 9 years and I just crashed off them 10 days ago. Agree with KBC on symptoms but just fight it, it's passing slowly

    Is it Cocaine-what you put in the title? Or is it Codeine-what you put in the question?
