Is It Possible to Have Withdrawal Symptoms After Only Taking Vicodin Twice?
Question by Someone Who Isn’t Me: Is it possible to have withdrawal symptoms after only taking Vicodin twice?
In the last year or so, I’ve used Vicodin recreationally 4 or 5 times, at 20 mg per dose. I’m not addicted to it, and I don’t intend to be. But a week ago I took 30 mg, and then the same amount 3 days ago. It’s a really awesome high, but I think I had some kind of withdrawal symptoms yesterday.
I felt weak and shaky all day, and I got this weird ache in my arms and legs. All my limbs felt really heavy, like your arm after you get the flu shot, and I had diarrhea. Whenever anyone said anything to me, it sounded incredibly annoying and made me want to yell at them.
I’m not even sure if the Vicodin caused this, but it sounds like a much (MUCH) milder version of what heroin addicts experience… I’m not going to take any more for a while, just in case, but is it even possible to have physical withdrawals after only taking it twice?

Yes, the hydrocodone in Vicodin can be habit-forming and can cause impairment to your actions or thinking. Withdrawal symptoms may be experienced when you stop taking Vicodin. According to the drugs.com website, the following withdrawal symptoms may be experienced: “anxiety; diarrhea; fever, runny nose, or sneezing; goose bumps and abnormal skin sensations; nausea; vomiting; pain; rigid muscles; rapid heartbeat; seeing, hearing or feeling things that are not there; shivering or tremors; sweating; and trouble sleeping.”
