It sounds like you are dependant on them right now, and that this could lead to an addiction problem. BE CAREFUL
I had spine surgery with 3 herniated disk, 2 removed. one still there. if i do not take it makes me (affordable) pain full but my emotional behaviour has changed. I do think normally but some time lost control during normal conversation.
Look up the actual definition of Addiction, and then ask yourself that question. Very easy to answer. Good luck!
I to only take 1 to 1.25 hydro 7.5 almost everyday. 6 days a week to be exact. It started with a tooth ache (Root Canal) 3 years ago.I'm now 44 years old and before that did not know what a vicodin pill was. For some reason I found it makes for a better 5 mile run at 5:00 am the next morning so I continued. Never in the morning or early afternoon. But to your question, is it an addiction? For me it has turned into that. I have a supply of about 45 pills left and already worried about how to get them the next time. I 've never taken more and I know the risk. Frankly, I don't want to quit and only will when I have to because there's no more to take.
Good Luck and be carefull.
Sounds like the answer to that lies in the answer to addictedme's question.
Depends on why you take it
