If you suddenly stop taking Vicodin
® (
hydrocodone/APAP), you may experience withdrawal symptoms. Some of these possible symptoms can include nausea,
diarrhea, and vomiting. Although a Vicodin withdrawal can be extremely unpleasant, it is unlikely to cause life-threatening complications.
In order to limit withdrawal, you should not stop taking Vicodin "cold turkey." Your healthcare provider can slowly decrease your dose at a rate that helps minimize withdrawal symptoms.
