To start off, I have a neck disorder called Torticollis that began about 2 years ago. The mucles in my neck and shoulders will not relax. It is a very painful disease.I get about 15 to 20 Botox injections every 3 months which helps. Before I was diagnosed my family doctor started me on Vicodin 500 then 750 then 10/650, every muscle relaxer there is and sleeping pills (Ambien) also Valium and Ativan. I started increasing everything and last year I was taking 4 1Mg Ativan, 3 Somas, Zoloft 100 mg, and of course 2 vicodins all before bed. Through the day I was taking the Vicodin, I took about 6 a day. I finally decided that I wanted to quit smoking and stop the Vicoden.It has been 8 days since I have taken any. I was taking 10-15 10/650 a day, along with 4 80mg of Oxycontin daily for about a year now. The doctor started the Vicodin then added the Oxycontin about 6 months ago and said to take the Oxy then take the Vicodin for the breakthrough pain. Even when I didn't need the medicine after my injections started to kick in , I continued the vic and Oxy for the feeling it gave me. It was the only thing that made me function and clean my house and work full time and school full time, single mother of 3. I quit smoking, 2 weeks ago today, on the patch. 8 days ago I stopped the Vicodin.
