Help with Vicodin

[Shinyblack1]

I have been taking at least two to three vicodin a night and need to get off them because of the street cost and work is now randomly drug testing. I take them because they give me energy.  What is the best way to stay away from without bad side effects.

Hi there, and welcome to the forum.  You will find lots of advice and support here.  You said that you take 2-3 Vicoden a night, and that you take them cause they give you energy.  Do you have a job where you work at night?

We do need some more information to be able to advise you.  Please feel free to share your story.  We are here to help.  Take care.

Hi glad to hear your wanting to stop. I don't know the dose that your on but I can say you gotta pay the piper. If you've been on them any length of time you will suffer withdrawls. I found the easiest way for me is ct as I can't handle the prolonged wd from taper. The thomas recipe helps some people. Immodium will help w stomach cramps and nice hot soaks in a bath for the rls. I know ppl use otc melatonin for sleep issues. Ultimately it will be time that will heal you. Since you use them at night only you probally won't get a good nights rest for some time bc we are creatures of habit. IEx you take them at a certain time so you will want them always at that time. Just look in the mirror and say "am I clean today?" Your stronger than a pill and you can do this!
