Why am i hurting so much after stopping these??

Question

k im not sure whats going on with me but i got hurt at work, they put me on naprosyn, valium and vicodin. so for two weeks i took these as prescribed. As of yesterday i stopped taking the valium and vicodin, ive only been taking them for about two weeks and im not sure if i was addicted or what is causing this pain. My legs hurt like no tomorrow i constantly have to move them or walk around, my sleep is terrible and tbh the flatulence is freakin awful considering my boyfriend was nice enough to come stay during the injury. Which of the meds are causing me so much pain. Im still taking the nap. for the inflamation. I didnt wanna get addicted to the other two. PLEASE HELP!~ im hurting. :(

Answer 1

Vicodin and any similar painkillers do funny things to peoples' intestines.  My fiance gets backed up whenever she takes percocet...it's really awful and I feel bad for her.  She comes out of the bathroom in tears.  Anyway, I'm curious if you've had a back injury.  I've had to take Naprosyn but it's been years and years...looking back, however, I'm thinking I'd have been better off with a fistful of M&M's!

Answer 2

Sounds like you have restless leg syndrome.  This can happen as a withdrawal symptom from certain drugs. If thats the case then it will go away in a few days.  If you are still experiencing the other pain you were originally prescribed the meds for then of course you will still hurt if you stop taking them.  I think its more likely the Valium is causing your "other" little problem.  If you are just taking these pills for a medical condition and not abusing them you are probably not going to get addicted so stop worrying.

seriously, call your doctor.
