getting off of vicodin
I am taking 15- 20 vicodin E.S. a day, and I really need to stop but I don't want to be sick. what can I do? my husband doesn't even know but I need to get off of this ****. I am a full time student (medical asst) please help!!!
I have had a serious problem getting off vicodin after 1 year and 4 months. They have tricked me into thinking they are my bestfriend. I have been trying to get off for a month and i'm yet to cut down, im starting to think this will be a long process. I have been addicted to other things in the past but this has really gotten hold on me, i cant even feel normal anymore without something. The feelings of worthlessness are there so i feel taking a pill is better than that. I' ve had the vicodin for so long as a crutch and never viewed it as a problem until i tried to quit. I have came clean to friends and family that were clueless so i took the first step. I just find myself miserable and depressed without them and i don't know how to not think about vicodin 24/7. I was just looking for support from people that know what i'm going through. can i kick this on my own?

I am 47 years old and have used vicodins for 3 years now to get thru a bad marriage, slow business, low-self esteem and major boredom with life in general. The main problem is the 3 little chiildren who call me daddy and worship the ground I walk on. Fact is that I am better dad on the pills 95 percent of the time. 10 DAYS AGO I WAS OUTED BY THE LOCAL PHARMACIE. Now my doctor know I was adding refills to his scripts and the gig is up. My first reaction was fear but than an immediate sense of release that this weird place I live in will be coming to an end real soon. That said, I am on day 11 and just getting by at the moment. Ambien 10mg each night is something i look forward to to get me a good night sleep. My depression is as bad as it has ever been, and whiithout a family to take into consideration, suicide would have been an option at the moment.That is sort of a lie, as i think I would have tried to have the shipped to me via these online pharmacies based overseas. Anyone have any luck with them?
Best case scenario is that the depression subsides to the point where I feel better off these things than on them. I LOVED BEING ON VICODIN.This is the problem. They worked for me on so many levels.
What i did not like was the possible kidnew problems and the hassle of the doctored scripts, anxietyof getting caught.
Any one have stories on their detox in the 10-20 day period?
i feel like a loser most days. Not nice keeping i from my wife, but no choice. i am hoping in a few weeks i acdtually get back to feeling good again sans vicodin, or figure out how to order the pills from a good overseas pharmacie who can keep my hapbit going for years.
Would rather stay clean for sure, but cannot take ths depression.
The other posts on this site have been amazing for me and i want to thank all of you who have put their love and heart into these posts.

You are at a dangerously high dose of Tylenol. If I remember correctly Vic ES is 750mg of Tylenol 10/day =7500mg....4000 mg is the MAX per day.To withdrawal it takes 4-5 days, after that it is better. Look in my journals for the Thomas recipe. There are things there to help you thru the w/ds.
