How long should constipation and body aches last going from cold turkey from vicodin?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
4-5 days: Constipation is usually part of taking vicodin and diarrhea is one of the withdrawal symptoms? Diarrhea and body aches may begin 18-24 hours after stopping usually peak in 3-5 days then improve, lowgrade withdrawal symptoms, trouble sleeping, cravings, depressed mood often last longer. Seek a doctor for medications that may ease withdrawal symptoms.
