I compltely understand what you are going though. I've been taking vicodin for years.off and back on. There so dam addtiting. Years ago I did'nt even know and I was taking ant where between 50 to 80 maybe even more a day. When I stoped. I could not understand....Well I knew I was way over doing it   but ended up in detox. Got a little better and in a feww months I was at it agin.Not as much. Years latter I got off for years....Now I'm older and I have A bad back And DAM IT if the doctor did'nt perscribe vicodin. I took the **** again also drank. For the past year I've been taking about 15 a day.   Today I've been off of them for 26 days I went cold turkey for 3 days and just about went nuts My doctor would'nt even help me however I knew one that would. I've been to several detoxes so believe me when I tell you some of thows places you come home feeling worse cause they dope you up with 15 to 20 different kinds of ****....... Anyway if you have a doctor (  and it sounds like you do be honest with him and tell him you need help getting off them)  What I got and all I need ed was valium  and a specific stomack med. they give you because you can't eat.  I took 2 valium in morning 10 mg   2 afternoon   2 at night...for 3 days    and the stomack med maybe one during the day and 2 at night time because they really help with the sleep part.....then on the4th day  it's 2 val. morning  1 in aternoon   1 at  night    anyway so  until you are off of the valuim.  It works and it works well....basically its all a mind game, along with not being able to eat or sleep.  However the valuim just keep you still and mellow.   I know I can't continue my life around these drugs (and im an alcoholic)  any more so I went back to AA and Im soo gratfull that I did ..This program saved my life  and change my life many years ago..but  I  was the one that  started drinking and taking thows f---king  vicodin.   They almost destroyed my life but not any more I'M DONE and if you have the doc... call him be honest its the best thing you can do for yourself.   I was so fearfull too why do you think I did'nt want to stop???? because I knew what I was about to fase however ....Be   good to yourself

    I've come out of the darkness back into the light

If you are already 2 days out, you could just keep going.   Refilling your prescription may be a recipe for disaster.  Look up the "Thomas Recipe" on this forum.  Ga Guy has this on his profile.  This will help A LOT.  Stay with us here, you can SO do this...
