Concerns Of Vicodin Es

I have very bad teeth and can not afford to go to the dentist except when it gets so bad I half to get it pulled and go get help from an org. to help pay, but I have been taking One Vicodin es a day for about a year now and I had one doctor tell me if I take it before the pain starts then it won't get as bad as having to go to the ER and having to get a shot and I have panic attacks so I'm scared to take more than one and sometimes I half to take two in one day if my tooth is bad and it scares me because I have been hearing all this about getting addicted to them , what are my chances of withdrawl if I was to stop? My husband is getting his back pay on his va because he is disabled and very sick so I plan to get all my teeth fixed soon, but I'm scared of what I have been reading on this addiction.. Can you help??

I say Opioids are not addictive and they are not.
People have a propensity to become addicted,so addiction pertains to the person NOT the drug.
For example I finnished up a daily binge on IV heroin about 3 months ago,the binge was for around 3 months,I stopped because I wanted to.in that it was cheaper and easier to be straught,so after a couple of weeks of withdrawal I was 90% better,now I have had heroin offered to me during the recovery and declined the offer with ease,because of knowledge-(during Protracted Abstinence Syndrome)a single dose of Opioid will illicit acute withdrawals again.(another 2 weeks of feeling REAL bad)
Anyway I cannot be bothered scoring and all that ****,I had a good time on Heroin,but now I want to see the beautifull colors again and feel my spirit soar.
If societies attitudes to drugs are to change they must know the TRUTH I will continue to dissolve the Propagander of Euphorigens with the solvent of knowledge and wisdom.

Don't worry I know you are not making fun of me, but now that I went and re-read my own and then a lot of everyone else's I can see the Humor yall found in it but I'd rather be aware, more safe than sorry. How many doctor's that give those medications and tell the patient you can get addicted? But yet seem to keep giving them for a long period of time and the cut them off cold turkey when there are addicted real bad.. That is what is sad..Also I'm sorry to hear about your Mother and I hope as time goes by your pain will ease. God Bless.

Not that you asked,this just came out,`you have to find a steady supply of Opioid and take only enough to stop withdrawal symtoms,when you can do this you may be ready to start detoxing and go without the euphoria.
Usually methadone is used to accomplish this,but I find methadone VERY slow to detox of(approx 5 months).You really must want to be straught and not just be doing it because of other reasons,then you will succeed.
If you do stop you will be back to where you started,so more work(personality growth and de-neuroticization,etc) must be done to stop yourself from using again.
At the moment you are probably not using everyday?but probably always aim for a high when you do get some.
This causes big ups and downs,for now possibly you are curious on if and how others stop and what types of people use,etc.
I have used /abused and stopped and started for 20 years,have not used for couple of weeks now,feel like I have got it under control,even when out of control,it is all about CONTROL`.
I am not being controlling am I?.
