What Causes Twitching In Arms And Legs Post Weaning Off Of Vicodin?

I ve been taking 2-3 vicodons per day for post surgery back pain. The pain has subsided a great deal and i tried to stop the vicodons cold turkey only to have terable problems at night getting to sleep because my leg were bouncing and my arms were twitching like crazy.... Nothing helped... I tried a hot bath, Advil, meditation soft music nothing helped... For two nights now I have not sleep a wink.... Please help.... Jon

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the pain is the only concern and now you have decided to stop potent analgesic then it is the best idea so now just stop it and never think about anything, but try to bear the pain as hard as you could, everything would be fine hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
