Vicodin

I have been taking two 7.5 / 325 pills a day for nine months regarding wrist pains...
If I stop taking these will I experience any types of withdrawals...
Or is my daily dosage low enough that I should be able to stop with out ills...

I too think you might feel a bit uncomfortable, but it will not be as intense or as long. Try to keep your self redirected at all times and do not think about it..Drinks LOTS of Fluids and eat Healthy and take your vit/min..You will be just fine..It sounds to me like you did not get to addicted, but more dependent.
Wishing you all the best and very Proud of you for getting out before it did get too out of control.
I took some hydo way back in the 90s before I got hooked. I took them for about 4-5 months and felt nothing when I had to stop them after I had healed..Did not even know what a w/d was about, even after all my years of using street drugs. BUT I did go back on both hydo/oxys for pain and off went my Addiction for about 12-16 years and up to higher meds..So Be Safe and I think you will be OK!!
Bless

I have taken every opiate. After 9 months of constant abuse of 7.5 hydrocodones. I did have withdrawal symptoms. They vary from person to person. They just won't be as intense as someone who took more.

imo, you should be able to stop without the wd's.  
you may still have mental issues as far as craving, your brain making your pain appear worse, etc
if i were you, i would substitute advil or tylenol for the lortab.  the habit of taking them will be annoying so substituting it for a non opiate med would help that.  
it is possible, but improbable you will get much physical wd.  you are very wise to stop  now
