Hello and Welcome,

Sounds like the only way you can get your life back is to stop all the drugs. I am not saying stop them right this second, but it's time to lay out a plan to get you headed in the right direction. I'm not a dr. and don't work in the medical field. I do know about addiction though. I didn't have a lot of trouble stopping the vicodin, but I wasn't abusing them. You can taper off of drugs or stop c/t. You're on too many drugs to stop them all at once, I would think. 
You came to the right place for help and you're young so don't spend too many of your years on dope.

Keep posting and maybe by talking to several people and your dr, if you have one you can open up to, you can get some ideas on how to get clean and stay clean. I hope you stay and get the help this forum has to offer. Much more people are on during the day and until around 2:00 a m. I hope you can get your life back and move forward to a clean way of leaving. Just put your mind to it.  Take Care.....LS

Weed, although a lot will not agree, is your best answer for withdrawal. Personally, that and green tea is what was needed. But to be truthful, rehab maybe your best bet.
