hi everyone I am new here and all the stories have been great.. My story is real similar to all of yours. First I am a 22 year old male and have had diabetes for 9 years. It all started 2 years ago with extreme back pain. My doctor put me on a low dose every 4 to 6 hours. It made me feel awsome. It seemed everything was clear in my head. I was happy. I also have anxiety which I take paxil for. but I was happy I felt better I could move around better. I don't know how it all happened cause it is blurry but that one pill that felt great turned into 2 pills every 4 to 6 hours then I would catch myself just wating for 4 hours. Well like i said it is blurry but the doctor kept me on them just as much. He never told me how addicting they were except be careful. I had no idea until today that u go thru these withdrawls. after reading all of your letters. well my doctor quit his practise but i still found the pills. In dec of 2002 I ran out and decided I was done. SO 3 days after not taking the pills I fell into what was said to be a diabetic coma. I was in pain,had the shakes, vomiting, dirreaha, leg cramps, and shallow breathing. so my girlfriend rushed me to er and I was crying in pain. They gave me morphine which knocked me out. I saw a new doctor and he continued my vicoden in the hospital and called it a diabetic coma. I went home took the vics and ran out again. so guess what i was back in on Dec 22. again diabetic coma. again more vics and now Today I ran out and read this and found out the withdrawls put me in a coma cause of the vomiting and dirreah. I have no doctor to talk to.
I am unemployed and I am terrified about what is going to happen to me I am even now checking the blackmarket for vicoden. diabetes and this addiction are not going together. can anyone help??????  thank u tim u can write in here or email me at ***@****

Sorry to hear about your situation.

Have you tried tapering off the Vicodin slowly? also, can you get any excercise, even mild walking?

I am sure that the ER cannot refuse you if you get sick. I think the key is to give your pills to someone who will control your consumption.

Can you levek with a family member, pastor, or doctor? Explain what has happened?

Let us know, OK?

Take good care, and God bless......

I was diagnosed with several bulging disc about 1 year ago. The Dr.prescribed oxycode 40 mg. every 12 hours which helped with the pain. Then my husband became very ill. We were both out of work and lost our insurance. Needless to say we could not go to the M.DNow I can not get the medicine I need and I have been having withdrawals. What do I do? Iknow Iam addicted now along with the pain I already have.

It's been a few days since i took my last vicodin and all I can think about is how I can get more! im extremely depressed and anxious and dont know how I can live a normal life at this point without the drug..I know I will be able to eventually, but just thinking about getting there makes me tired.Ive been able to hide the addiction from everyone in my life and even the detox ive been able to manage, but its been extremely hard.I feel low, hopeless..you all know what im talkin about!!! im a single mom of 2, and manage an extremely busy practice and the pressures seem unreal!! how will I cope?? If anyone has encouraging words, please email me at "***@****" thanks everyone.
