Please read my comments about getting through the month.  and hopefully the reality of this medication's power will hit you, and you can bring yourself to stop. I almost lost my job and my reputation when I started blacking out at work.  And I had no problems until the very week that I decided to get rid of the vicodin. I still have fibromyalgia, I still have pain.  But, I don't take anything that's not an over the counter medication.  Also,  maybe you can see your pain specialist and ask him for a non-opiate pain medication.  In fact, tell him what you are going through and ask him to help you wean off the stuff!!

Best wishes and good luck.
