Complcations Of Vicodin Es
my question is can you develope other health problems as a result of taking Vicodin es for a long period of time like heart failure, constapation, etc..I would like to learn all that I can about this medicine since I have been taking it for a long period of time. I don't want to sound like I'm panicing or bug anyone and I do appreicate all the time and effort you all put into this website and anwsering my questions. I'm wanting to just deal with the pain and stop taking it but at times it can be unbearing pain,Just about all of my teeth are decayed into the gums. I have read that some people take them for the high but it is the funny feeling that makes me panic some times but then I would rather deal with that feeling than be in that kind of pain, but when I take it I'm constantly checking my pulse and heartbeat until the feeling wears off. Is their anyone that has or had panic attacks?? See I use to be scared to take anything [any medicine]for about the last five years because when I went threw the starting of my panic attacks I was put in the hospital, that is how bad they got but then my husband got real sick about a year and half ago and I have to focus on him and taking care of our four children, he is not expected to live another year without a Liver Transplant or that is what the doctor's say anyway,and I have faith that god will not be putting him threw all this suffering just to let him die, so when I went to the dentist that is what he gave me and it worked so I've been taking it every since so that is what I found that would stop this pain until I can afford to go back to the dentist and get all my teeth taken care of becuase now it is very hard for me to go to the hospital in the middle of the night and get a shot that knocks me out for a few days, which scared me half to death .Because when I'm in pain I get very agravated and don't want no one messing with or talking to me and I don't know why I'm that way but I'am. Any way that is why I started taking it in the first place and I wish that I would have never started, if I'd only know then what I know now..Well thank you all for taking the time to read this, I know alot of it does not have to do with the Vicodin[in terms of my husband's illness] but just wanted to explain.Well good luck to all with the battle's with medication's and god bless you all.

If you want to end your life and destroy your family, keep on taking these prescrption drugs! You have no idea what they will do to your body, physically, mentally,emotionally, & spiritually! I beg & encourage all of you on these drugs to get help before you die! You CAN do it! Believe me, it was the most difficult thing I have ever done, and I am so grateful today for my sobriety and clear mind! Remember, GOD is good!

Hi bizziebe - you will not come right until you replace all the zinc/mag you have leached out of your body over the past few years - this is what 'hanging out' really is - it's your body craving zinc/mag (zinc stops cravings/magnesium stops depression). If you don't do this it will take up to 2 years to return to normal as the only other source your body has for zinc/mag is food and then it is in such tiny amounts it takes years to build up again. If you get a blood test done you will find your levels of both are way down on what they should be.
A typical tablet contains somthing like this:
Zinc amino acid chelate 75mg
Magnesium amino acis chelate 37.5mg
Vitamin B6 10mg
Manganese amino acid chelate 10mg
Viatmin A (1000I.U.) 300mcg
Grading your habit on a scale of 1-10 (1 being occasional use and 10 being long term methadone at 100 plus mg's a day) you should take the following amount for a period of one month then slowly reduce to a daily amount of 2-3 per day.

You will notice that I recommend you never go below 2 per day. This is because zinc/mag depletion was your original problem so you should give yourself an ongoing supplement to make sure it does not happen again. I now take 2-3 per day to maintain my health. I have had no failures with this treatment (everyone OK after less than a month) and have treated addictions (including my own) as varied as methadone and cigarettes. The cigarrete smoker reduced from 2 packs per day to just 5 cigarettes per day in a week without any discomfort. If you suffer any kind of 'hang out' just increase the zinc/mag dosage and give it a liitle longer to take effect (a week or so). Don't beleive all the bullshit about drug addiction you have heard - it's all **** - this is the real deal. The drugs themselves are not actually addictive but they do leach all the zinc/mag out of your body by increasing the metabolism of them creating a shortage that gets worse the longer you use unless you replace them while you are using in which case you don't hang out when you stop - you just come straight - this is true beleive me I have tried it as have a few other people I know and none of us sufferred any hang out when we stopped.

as far as I know you can take the valium and vicodin es together...as long as you take the normal dose and are not abusing anything...I would check with my pharmacist first just to be safe...and yes Vicodin ES Extra strength.......
is it safe to take vicodin es with valium ?and exactly what does es stand for (extra strength?)??if anybody knows i'd appreciate the feedback. i was injured on the job and haven't been taking my valium for fear of possible side effects.

Ask you Doctor if their are regulations for reporting what they believe are drug addicts and then check with local and federal laws about who has access to the data base.
I am not saying(admitting) that I -<or--the Australian Govt has access to USA FED or State registers but I do believe? they exist.
I do not think that is the reason for the email diversion,but you must have some understanding of the nature of the ($*SYSTEM/s).
It is not perfect but it is all we have got and hopefully we will all improve upon it over generations.

Yes I fell 4 that LOl I always belive what My good ol spooky says...I'm glad you got the maul....i am really to tired to type anymore but Spook, not that you can get my mail I may just keep sneidn it...i need to talk to you love cin
no none of the above. i don't have any record of anyhting. are you serious?????// NOT. come on spook, cindi did you fall 4 that? really spook how come you can't create a new address 4 us then? i am not on any database that i know of
In Australia their is a Federal Data base of Drug Addicts and it can be accessed by "CERTAIN people-(freedom of information Act overrides privacy acts for public protection)-with vested interest,I do not know about "the" USA,but things seem to be much tougher over their.
For example I can never work for the Government while on the Register(and possibly never ever,as I do not believe they DESTROY the records),I was put on the Register of drug addicts when I went on MMT.According to a phone conversation I had with the `head` of the WA health dept my name will be dropped from the register 4 years after going off Methadone,that was 2 years ago,so officially I am still a drug addict for another 2 years(whoopy do-dah),even though I am not a drug addict and I only use drugs recreationally now and have not had any drug for about 6 days or so and feel completely normal,although I was drinking a bottle of beer everynight and I stopped that 2 nights ago and was very cranky yesterday and today,but the depression has lifted,so I have had nothing for 2 day,ie no chemicals and I feel GREAT,therefore I must conclude that being a drug addict is a good thing,well according to the Governent,otherwise I would be a winging drug addict asking for help would`nt I?.Or would I.

are you serious about the federal drug addict database? i was arrested in 1995, not convicted and Idon't know about the federal data base maybe???
"permission denied",That means you do not have the credentials to access my email account server.I do not make up the RULES,so who(come on own up) knows what is going on their.
I receive email from all over the world,only people that cannot get through are Cindi and you,do you have anything in common,like have you ever been incarcerated for a drug offences or put on a FEDERAL data base of Drug addicts?.

I agree with your post of April 18th. I think society has done a great job of linking dependency to morality, with no distinctions whatsoever.
Hello,now I know more about you it is easier,as you say your paraniod delusions predate xanax use.(they are not Phobias)
I have had a lot of experience with xanax and once I was sitting in a Doctors surgery in severe withdrawal,because I had Abused my supply and run out and the receptionist asked me if I wanted a glass of water,she was previous to this very rude and suggested the Doctor could not help me and I got bad vibes of her,not like she was`nt getting them of me either(xanax withdrawal)any way she got the water and I became suspicious that it was poisoned.
I have never had this type of thing happen to me before or ever again,it seemed to be a direct result of abrupt withdrawal from high dose xanax.
Now when one looks at the withdrawals symtoms in a Psychiatric Manual,well delusion,paranoia and Psychosis are to be expected from abrupt withdrawal from high doses.
Currently the accepted method of treatment for people with Paranoid delusions is Pschotherapy as it is complex in nature and the Psychiatrist needs to learn much about the patient and the evolution of the problem.
In my case it was a Neurochemical imbalance,supported by a reality state,that was the fact that the Receptionist was being rude and unfriendly and I was in Psychic HELL,so when she suddenly volunteered some water,it paved the way for the Paranoid delusion.
It is a fact that Xanax will make you feel better(as it stops ALL types of FEAR),but if you want a "cure" then you must explore the Pathogenisis of the illness.
The fear of eating may stem from an early repressed childhood memory whereby your mother accidently poisoned you with food and scolded you for not trusting her food after that.Who knows?
Our foods are already poisoned by hundreds of industrial chemicals,that work their way into the food chain.
You still have not stated the dose range you use,when you feel you need it,if it is a single 0.5mg tablet 2-3 days a week and you often miss weeks then you probably would not notice much.
Wthdrawal symtoms generally peek from xanax on day 5.
The 6mg dose I mentioned is only prescibed by Psychiatrists to people with refractive severe Panick Disorder.
Panick attacks always peak in around 20 minutes,so I am sure you can see the uselessness in taking the tablet upon having one.Altough they may last an entire day.

I agree,I just wanted to say that I self medicated using Opioids as drug of choice,now I am over the underlying problem that led to my addiction ,but it took time for my LIBIDO to settle down,and it was not sex that settled it,oh no that would just expand my Ego.What cured my underlying problem was the realization of all of this.
At the moment I am a Registered Drug Addict,meaning if I am in severe Physical Pain and see a doctor they ring the Health Dept and see if I am On the List and if they PRESUME I seek drugs because I am a drug addict,not for relief of pain.
Well they got that wrong last time I asked for Opioids,I WAS IN REAL BAD PAIN,but I could not point the finger at anybody,so I suffered and the suffering made me feel heaps better.
Besides,I have my morals and even when abusing and addicted,will not steel to procure drugs when money and supply runs out.
But I tell you this if I was in severe CHRONIC pain do you think for a moment Doctors ,DEA agents,or whatever could stop me from getting Opioids,No Frigging way,I can make my own,shift to Amsterdam,armed holdup a Pharmacy,etc,etc-you corner an injured animal(Human) and you watch you back,because in such a situation death is not a fear IT IS A RELIEF,what would I have to lose????????/pain?.

It is probably(maybe-sounds paranoid,I know) a Sub-Branch of the Government in America,blocking transmission to my email address,because they do not like my "Wisdom",I have checked my server/s and the Asian Pacific Network(the Australasian "backbone" of the internet) and the problem resides on your side USA.
China does not allow me much(any-well some,not complaining) freedom of speech either.I cannot help with the email problem as it IS my email address and even 20 mins before typing this.got an email from a friend in Australia and USA,possibly the problem is specific to this site,which means either the CIA NSA or FBI are responsible and are monitoring(blocking only to me,not reading subject matter) emails eminating from people posting to it?.
Maybe now I have said this they will back off,you know China and Australia get on quite well and USA is being non-complient with "global Warming" treaties drawn up in Japan.
I like Americans,its just that your system needs some fine tuning and course encouragement.
One world ,one day one system,Peace.
See my wisdom knows no boudaries and Politically,I think many decissions are "Unwise".

you're right about the "one beer story" I left out the part where I ran him over with my car.
this is neenie. what is your email add? i thought it was ***@****. i just spent the past 1/2 hr writing to you for advice and it was returned it said permission denied. i have a few ??? for you to answer. i rely heavily on your wisdom
I agree with you. you said that you were not sure if a pain patient is an addict or not...probably in most cases I think the answer may be no....case: my sister has severe back problems, stenosis nerve damage etc. she will be in a wheelchair probably in the next 5 years and she is only 37..ok let me cut to the chase here...she has been on narcotics for several years and if she does not have any she does experience withdrawals but...she does not display drug seeking behavior per say, that obsession is not there, she goes on with life of course in alot of pain..she does not increase her dose or take more than she is prescribed...now, I am an addict, i was constantly seeking drugs, obsession was my name...could not leave the house without a drug....am I making any sense? so she is dependant on the drug but not an addict....I know many people like this but myself that's a whole different story you know the saying one is too many and 100 is not enough....take care cindi
Your post makes a lot of sense to me but one comment I truly don't get is how do you get I have withdrawls from Xanax in the statement you said about'Fear of not eating' when all this started before I ever took Xanax before in my life?? That is why they started giving it to me, so what you are saying is Xanax should not be given for this type of illness?? And til this day I still battle with it but have more control over it and as far as the bathrooms in public 'Noway'.. My kids don't even use it I don't let them at all. I have learned so much about how dieases are pasted since we found out about my husband's illness, si I'm really bad about it now. I don't know if some will say I'm in denial but I sure would like to find out, but I don't have any of the syptoms that everyone has that I read about when I miss a day or two of my meds..Because if I did I would freak out and panic that something is wrong with my health. So where does that put me?? And you know when I'm in a panic yes the Xanax does help.Any comments? Have a good day..
I don't know whether this will help you in some way but I'll tell it to you anyway.
I am also in end stage liver disease with Hep C and cirrohsis and need a liver asap. My wife has lung cancer that has not responded to any therapy yet. We are supposedly at death's door according to our doctors. I was supposed to be dead two years ago! We are both still very much alive and viable here so don't get too excited about the doctor's opinions and statistics.
God has the final say-so as to our fates in this life and no matter what we do...what will be, will be! We've had to go through all the various stages of fear, anger, denial, etc. to get where we are today...acceptance. Now we are able to go on with our lives with our heads held high. It's a feeling of hope, courage and dignity till "death do us part", amen. J.B.

I agree that you do have predominantly "limited" symptom Panick attacks and in the past have had "FULL blown"requiring Hospitalization;the ones that make you feel like you are dying,etc.These Attacks have now evolved and are now associated or triggered by normal social situations(well for the 21 century),you have described the sympoms well.You seem to have a lot of Anticipatory Aversion to the triggers and this keeps you house bound,I think you have settled down a lot since the fear of eating stage and you would be well advised to not use xanax for panick attacks,unless alternative therapy,Pharmacological and cognitive(behavioural) fails.
I know about the distorted horrific frightening sounds and fear of public places,learning to avoid the triggers,ie public, open places,public transport,public speaking,crowds,etc,will interfere with your daily life functioning to much and is the opposite to cognitive or behavioural therapy.This is when a Psychiatric nurse will accomply you into the situation causing fear and panick and stay by your side,as you feel better to handle it alone they will walk in front of you slightly and eventually when comfortable you can venture out on your own.Sometimes Panick disorder resembles social Phobia,this is when you feel watched in public,dislike eating in public or using public toilets etc,the social phobia seems to develop secondary to the inital onset of Panick disorder.
Hypochondria? and OCD?,in your case(fear of eating,because may be poisoned)although this is usually a withdrawal/rebound symptom of Xanax withdrawals,a type of delusional paranoia.So in this resect I highly suspect you are getting withdrawals from the xanax.
Zoloft is effective againced Panick attacks and is non addictive unlike xanax.Aurorix is good for Anticipatory aversion and panick attacks and non addictive,Xanax in daily dose of 6mg works fine,but I think one is rather spaced out and highly addicted and you may as well get drunk to achieve the same result.
I would go off xanax and Vicodin and once stable from withdrawals,commence an `ssri` like Zoloft or try an MAOI like aurorix(does not attenuate libido)and start on behaviour therapy,before things get beyond YOUR CONTROL.
Remember all addictive drugs will cause the opposite effects to that which they were originally intended durind withdrawal phase,this takes around 24hour on either xanax or Vicodin.

I am concerned about the denial present in various posts. Addicts? We are all addicts here! Pain or no pain. If we stop our medicine will all will experience withdrawals. BEing comfortable with a pain specialist is a secure feeling. Why,because we do not have to worry about where our next dose will come from. Pain produces this need and so does addiction. Can a patient with pain be called an addict? Dependent yes? Addict I am not sure. Only the brain of the patient know this answer. Most pain patients experience some form of withdrawals. A few do not experience any withdrawals. Pain produces a need that is simlar to an addict. I don't think it is necessary to be concerned. A diabetic does not feel guilty when he injects his insulin. A epileptic does not wonder if he should remain dependent on his dilantin. Why does a pain patient have to wonder if he is an addict. Dependent or addict. I am not sure that he/she is not both. What does it matter? Because our society dictates what we are. Any comments?

Thank you for your comment, I can go a day with out any of that so thank God I guess I'm not addicted, huh? Is that the only affects you get from withdrawls? But I half to tell you I know I'm depressed because I'm going threw alot with my husband he is not expected to live another year [so the doctors say] anyway. So is that a sign that I'm addicted? One more question why doesn't anyone go into the chat room that they offer from this site?
Okay fist thing,I do have a Panic Disorder, when I have one of these attacks my heart starts racing 90 to nothing and my hands start sweating and this awful fear that I'm going to die comes over me,most of the time I think I'm going to have a heart attack and I use to spend ALOT of time at the hospital ER just for them to tell me I had a PA,but in the beginning it was really bad, I quit eating in fear of the food was poisoned, I wouldn't eat anything unless my husband ate it first and then I would wait hours before I would eat it just to make sure it was safe, but it got to the point that I was starving my self and dehrdrating because it was the same route with drinking, and my husband worked at that time and I was home with kids by my self so I would go all day before drinking and eating,and I lost almost a hundred pounds within three weeks, but I ened up at MHMR to seek help because my husband and best friend seen that this was seriuos and I needed more help than they could give, and they sent me straight in the mental hospital, and I learned what trigger's my attacks so over the years so I avoid the situations like now it is to the point where I don't leave home unless I half to and traveling is out of the question, I won't live far from the hospital either. As far as going to stores or family get together's almost all times I end up in a panic, [too many people and noise] but hwne I have my attacks I tell my husband and he talks me threw them and when that don't work and they it stay's with me for a long time I end up taking a Xanax 0.5mg is what is prscribed to me, but I have learned to avoid what trigger's them so in a short statement I have not really delt with my problem or faced my fears, but all the dostor's I've been to for this is a joke and only wants your money and wants to put me on all kinds of medicines like Zoloff and Restoril and Xanax,I don't want all that because I don't want to half to depend on that many medicines to make me better and besides that I don't have money for all that.As for the medications I won't take just anything either like capsuls, I try to stick to what I have taken before so I know it won't hurt me, so no I do not take the Xanax as it is prescribed[3xday] or the Vicodin every4-6 hours] because I would be in LALA land and sleeping all the time and that I do not want. Alot of times when I have a attack I keep telling my self this is just an attack and I will be okay and I pray and it helps a lot. Who knows why I don't have withdrawl from the Xanax.. Do you also think I should have withdrawls from the Vicodin if I miss a couple of days? And what else do I need to know about Vicodins? I wish I could talk to you in chat, do you have aol instant messenger or Icq? I would love to talk to you than to try to explain in a long letter.
