vicodin

I have been on vicodin for 1 year and want to stop.  My psychological addiction is the worst.  What can I do?

Hi Polly,

Do you do any other drugs?  Why did you start taking vicodin?  How many are you taking?  

My name is Jennifer, Med-help helped get me clean 4 months ago. Quitting is the easy part, but not picking back up is the hard part.  Tell me more about you.  You can quit, anyone can, but I don't want to give advice unless I know a little more about you.  Tell me more about your psychological addiction.

Welcome to the forum. How much Vicodin are you useing? Daily? Have you tried to stop before?
There are a few options to get off the drugs,  cold turkey, tappering and Suboxone. The Sub. should probably be your last option after trying the others first.
Would you be able to take about 5 days off work? Cold turkey is the fastest way to do this, but you would be sick for about 4-7 days, the worst being days 2 thru 4.
Keep posting and let us know what your thinking.
