you havent been useing very long cant you just go c/t and just have couple bad days

My 78 yr old mother had a knee replacement 2 yrs ago and they gave her ES Vicodin 7.5 She was on them about 4 weeks and she takes her medicine by the book as prescribed...they gave her no more refills after that and told her to take ES Tylenol and Motrin.  She kept saying to me that she felt funny...not sick just "at loose ends". I took that to mean disoriented and a little depressed. My mother has never taken a drink, never had a drug problem...I told her that she was probably getting addicted.  She just laughed (being an addict myself, I know those were the w/d she was feeling however slight they may be.  Thank God she never went back.  Just 6 wks ago badly broke her wrist...had to have plate and pins inserted...more Vicodin...she took them for 4 days and having the good sense she said, I think I will stop these things....I don't want to feel bad later!  God I wish I had my mother's strength and commone sense. Sorry to go on but just wanted you to see how easy it is to become addicted!  Stop now if you can  c/t! It will be worth it for you because this addiction will sneak up on you. Peace, and I'll pray for you.

If you arent in pain anymore and are still taking the pills then it sounds like you are beginning the addiction way of things. Since you havent been taking them for very long, I would suggest to stop now. I dont even think tapering would be a good idea for you since it would just be fueling your body to more narcs. If you dont feel any major w/d effects like the sweating and diahrrea (sp?) but you feel anxious. Maybe you could try and take some valerian root extract to calm your nerves. At first I was going to say try to get xanax or something like that, but that is addicitng too, so I would try the valerian root. I did and its a calming feeling. It doesnt hit you all at once, but it did work for me at the time being.

Hope this helps, if not sorry
Take care and have a good night,
Aurora
