Yes, smoking is next for me as well..  you're not foolish complaining.  I felt foolish for a while until I convinced myself it was a very real problem and I am an addict (not saying you are!)..but if it gets to where our lives revolve around those pills..be it 2 per day or 20.. we need to face the fact we have a problem.

Feel better!

hi...sometimes i feel so foolish complaining...i was only taking 2 vic. a day for 4 months but i did feel lousey when i stopped...feeling much better...my bronchitis is from smoking..chronic!! that's the next thong i have to quit...good luck talk to you again i hope....dee

Yes..I haven't participated a lot until recently.  I had a relatively small vicodin habit...6 7.5's per day but I couldn't taper and I couldn't cold turkey and I didn't want it to go any farther...my life being controlled by the things.  My last prescription was on 8/22 for 90 and I promised the doc they'd last 30 days...they
lasted less than 2 weeks..my wife helped me with a few percs but I knew I was stuck and time to quit.

Went to the ER this past Sunday night and was given clonodine and something for nausea (which hasn't been a problem)..and I also have klonopin for anxiety and ambien for sleep.

So while my problem isn't as significant as others here, it has been a problem for me for sure and I think I'm finally making progress..day 3 with no pills (other than clonodine..and I've been able to work..just a little fatigued.

I've posted elsewhere today and recently on the forum
