i think what helps me, even now, is to not give pills any credit.  I used to tell myself that I needed pills for everything, to wake up in the morning, deal with bordom, for energy, to go to work, to deal with people, for fun....  I told myself that so much I really believed it....and as a result I went from taking 2 vicodins a day  to up to 10 or more (I started losing count).  If you are at two, physically you may or may not have extreme physical symptoms. It feels like a bad flu. But it's the mental part that really needs to be looked at because as long as your mind is still telling you that you need the pills to live your life, (which you don't) and you keep taking them whenever you get the chance to, your tolerance will eventally increase to the point where your entire life will start revolving around getting more and more.  And then the pills don't even feel good anymore, it is more about just not being sick. It's just not worth it.  And you may be surprised, if you give yourself some time off it, you could start to find that you actually have more energy and are happier without it. Good luck & def look around this forum, I have learned so much here.

If the pills are making you happy, you can certainly expect to deal with the opposite spectrum. If you get things done with help, you probably won't be getting things done, right? So , you'll be dealing with being unhappy and unmotivated at the very least. And there's a lot of support for you concerning these issues. When you are on the substance abuse forum on the right side there is a box that says Search the Community and then a GO button to push. There are 5500 answers if you type in motivation, and 500 if you type in unhappy. It is important to ask the question on the forum so that you can meet members that will support you with their friendship. You would go to the members homepage and you can Send a Note, Send a Message, Add a Friend (to send a friend request). Hope this helps.

I was only taking a little as well. 2-3 a day for the most part. I did have withdrawls, but not severe. No major stomach issues but serious fatigue combined with anxiety and insomnia, plus an overall aching and agitation. The hardest part for me is the mental stuff, and Im dealing with it now (not well). So yes, I think you will see some WD issues but you can get through those, the mental stuff is the kicker.
