[QUOTE="Jasen Bruce, post: 22361, member: 14"] If Norco has been used nightly for longer than 30 days than a dependency has developed which will require a withdrawal period once the Norco is discontinued. Part of the withdrawal symptoms of opioid medications like Norco is insomnia, agitation, anxiety, in addition to physical symptoms of varying degrees (depending on duration and dosage of use): Your friend first needs awareness of the withdrawal symptoms so that they are not confused with something else and he is prescribed another drug that will lead to dependency (Benzodiazepine, hypnotics, etc). The symptoms can last for 2-12 weeks, again depending on the length of use and dosage. He will get better and make a full recovery. Keep in mind that if there is an underlying reason he was suffering from insomnia prior to the Norco use than this will have to eventually be dealt with, but not until after a recovery from Norco use has been made. During recovery, very little will help him until the body restores what the Norco has depleted. This is why relapse with opioids is so high- he really must get through this without the use of other drugs in order to get better. Here are some supplements your friend can take to help relieve the symptoms as the body restores balance. Whatever he does, he should not take another Norco or use a GABA agonist during recovery as that will set him back. [B]Milk of Magnesia[/B]- will help with stomach distress at night from WD [B]Immodium AD[/B]- reduces the nighttime diarrhea [B]Rx-strength Motrin[/B]- helps with the nighttime aches during WD [B]Vistiril[/B]- An anti-histamine which helps with two things; opiate withdrawal produces ahistamine response which makes the patient have runny eyes, nose, anditching. Vistiril will manage this alongwith reducing anxiety and assisting in sleep. This medication may be used a few weeks beyond the last opioid dosage. Suggested Supplements: [B]Multi-Vitamin DL-Phenylalanine[/B]- Take 1000mg-2000mg daily on empty stomach. Helps restore endorphins and the bodies own "pain blockers" [B]5-HTP-[/B] Take 100mg-200mg before bedtime. Helps restore reward hormones in the brain which lead to relaxation and better mood. [B]Magnesium[/B]- Helps reduce meucle tension and promotes relaxation. Take 200mg-500mg as needed. [B]B-Complex[/B]- Helps to repair the CNS and restore reward hormones [/QUOTE]
