desperate for help

I have been on Percocet and them 7.5/750mg of Vicodin for 10 weeks due to accident witch broke a bone in my foot and injured a disk in my neck. I have a history of major depressive disorder that has been well maintained by my antidepressants for YEARS. I am on day 2 of trying to stop Vicodin and I am shocked by the ride that it is. I never knew 10 weeks would cause my body to develop dependency. I am desperate, afraid, sick, anxious, (I mean freaking out panicked) and feel hopeless. I just want the old me back. HELP!  My psychiatrist said go to urgent care for weaning plan. what do i do?

Do as you psychiatrast says.  Getting a tapering plan is the best idea, so that your body can come off the drug slowly, without 'going into shock'.  Blessings - Blu
