Vicoden is one of the narcs you can just stop taking w/o any fear of doing any more damage.  Depending on usage, meaning how many a day and how long you have been taking them and your individual physical condition your withdrawal will be mild to severe.

This is my 6th day ... but I was Rx'd them for the last five years and it was just time for me to stop.

I have/had some pretty ugly withdrawal.   But it's getting better.   On the Street... meaning not in a perscription I've heard the prices are anywhere from 5 to 7 $$ each.   Stop now, if you don't need them.   Just make up your mind to stop.   Easier said then done sometimes.   You will go through some stomach cramping, the runs, sneezing, a runny nose, being lethargic... but the symptoms don't last forever.

Good Luck and God Bless....

Yes taking that few should be just lite detox. Better to step away from that dragon before she notices you.
