I’ve been taking a low dose of vicodin and flexeril for over two months for a herniated disc, about 10 mg to 20 mg hydrocone (generic vicodin) and 20 mg flexeril depending on the pain. I chose to stop taking both last week. I tapered down on each to one pill at night for one week 5 mg vicodin, 10 mg flexeril and was feeling a little anxious and depressed. I stopped it all the beginning of this week, having headaches, nausea, chills, anxiety and depression. The doctor and pharmacist both said at low doses like this I shouldn’t be having any withdrawal symptoms. I’ve never abused either drug and at first didn’t know what was wrong with me until I realized I could be having withdrawals and looked up the sympoms on the internet. Now I’m just feeling flu like and depressed and don’t really like the way I feel. Is it possible to be slightly addicted at the low dose of vicodin and short time I took it? Is flexeril addictive? I looked online but can’t find anything about short periods of vicodin or flexeril withdrawal.

I spoke to a pharmacist once about hydrocodone withdrawl. He said that a person coming off of it, would have flu like symptoms, which sounds like what is happening to you.
The best part though is it will be better in a few days.
