Hydrocodone comedown?

[Tribulus]

I've been taking Vicodin for the past couple of weeks (and years)off and on...and the comedown is pretty bad. Can any opiate junkie out there give me and others some useful 'obtainable crutches' that will help me out of this post-hydrocodone lull?? Hydrocodone does get me ampted, so I usually hit up some Ephedra or caffine, but that raises anxiety levels. Any tips will be appreciated.....

Benzos like xanax promote a lethargic feeling (downer)...During the comedown or Vicodin-free period, I feel totally un-motivated. Don't benzo's make this stage worse? Thanks for your 2 cents

Ususally when i pop 5 or 6 hydrocodone,i never really have a come down.It just slowly tapers off,when i usually smoke a joint or take valium to help me sleep.I usually don't even need that though,so I would say your problem is that you're taking the ephedra and the caffeine.My suggestion would be to quit using the caffeine,and that should relieve your anxiety.But,as Sebastion's Ghost said just take some valium or my favorite... Klonopin

well,(BENZOS) thats what most people say to do to "somewhat remedy" OPIATE WITHDRAWAL..i think its OK if you have time to SLEEP and u dont have to do anything that day...yesterday i was in withdrawal fromn OXYCONTIN, and i snorted 2 valiums, and 30 minutes later, i felt so fucking groggy that i had to go asleep..i didnt sleep that well either, so im not sure if VALIUM is that great for OPIATE withdrawal..it made me too drowsy..
then again, drowsy may be better than feeling anxious as all hell, with "kicking leg" symptoms..that is a pain in the ass..
thats one of my biggest probs with OPIATE withdrawal is the LACK of energy..i lead an active lifestyle, and feeling very unmotivated and tired is very counterproductive...

Every time I take some hydrocodine I never worry about the come down because I always fall asleep.
Overall I never noticed a comedown that made me feel uncomfterable.
My advice would be weed and/or valium.
