My mother in law has been on hydrocodone 7.5/500-4 -6 tabs daily and MS Contin 60mg every 8 hours for the last 3years. She had hip surgury 3 months ago and has been weening herself off of the drugs since that time. 2 days ago she had her last dose of the hydrocodone and has decreased the the MS Contin to 15 mg a day. She is on cymbalta and neurontin to help with the depression and pain. She has been having crying spells, restless leg and generalized aches which is to be expected and tolerates them ok. My question is.....she continues to be somewhat confused and sometimes forgets things that happened last week. She can recall the instances when family reminds her but she is definately in a fog at the moment. Back to the question. Have any of you have similar symptoms when detoxing from ms contin and hydrocodone. If so, how long did the confusion/fog last? Thank you so much for any light on the subject and any suggestions you might have to help her.
