Hi Drew:

I know exactly what you are talking about. I take Tramadol (generic Ultram) when I don't have any Norco. I get it very cheap at Speedrx.net. I also order "Moodcaps" from the speedrx.net-they are herbal and claim to reduce withdrawal symptoms. They both work great for me!

In all honesty though, the best way to get off hydro is to do a slow taper and have your doctor prescribe clonidine. Clonidine has several uses-high blood pressure, angina, but is the drug of choice for relieving withdrawal symptoms from opiates and alcohol. You may even be able to find it on the net.

Also, valium will help the withdrawal symptoms as well, and if you're not taking tramadol (which is constipating) take Immodium for the diarrhea.

Best of luck to you.
