vicodin

[sleepytwinz]

Took my last to vicodin June 3, 2011, on day 9. Didn't use methadone to get off this time, cold turkey(kinda). I am on perscribed Zoloft 200 mgs and clonazepam 3, 10 mg's a day. Feeling better get a script of 90 vic's June 17th, am afraid it will start all over..............I have a bad disc in my back.

Started to feel like I was taking vic's just to feel normal,(up to 6 to 8, 750's a day for about 3 yrs.) When will I ever feel "NORMAL again??? Hoping by June 17th, I have came so far. I want my husband to pick them up for me and hide them. I am praying that I don't start taking them again.

Vicodin gives me so much energy, I just feel like I have no energy  still. Not sick anymore, Is this all in my head.....I just really like vicodin..........but would be so happy if I could just stop taking them for good, I don't know if I am strong enough , guess I will find out FRiday. I don't think I can take 3 a day ONLY like I am suppose to??? I don't know If I dare try.

That's the problem isn't it ? When you have such easy access to them it is really hard to convince yourself to stop ! That's why it took me 4 times for me to stop . I just told myself that if you want to stop you have to really just want it period ! I know I can always get them anytime I want . I agree  that you should just get rid of the script and make the choice that you don't want anymore of it ! It really for me was the only thing that worked for me . I wish you success in stopping and regaining your life .. Peace Jimmy

I have to agree with sara and kmo -just cancel the prescription-you are through the worst of it now and everyday will get easier. If you have them in the house you will find an excuse to take them. We all have "triggers" that we will suffer with for along time, things that would send us running for the bottle and if its there you will take them. It is hard to admit addiction even to oneself but it is what it is/ Dont get the refill and keep going on staying clean.You can do this you already made it to day 9!!!! Thats great!!!

I am 49 and a half hours clear of my Norco 10-12 a day habit, not that I'm counting or anything!! But seriously, every minute counts because every minute is a struggle. Tomorrow I go back to work, to my "normal routine" and I'm deathly scared. I haven't worked without the pills for years. They give me energy, and pain relief and help me "function". I too have a repeat script that is due next week of 180...I went off my Norco at 5pm on Friday, I plan to call my pHarmacist at 8am tomorrow and cancel it. I have done the "husband please hide my meds in case of an emergency" and it doesn't work, there is ALWAYS an emergency according to an addict. I hate the word addict, I feel like its such a self inflicting,all my fault, kind of word, but I'm slowly learning that this isn't my fault...meds were made available to me, I took them, my body craved them and I kept myself "functioning".
Congratulations on 9 days. I admire you. I struggle every minute.

sleepytwinz. You know you can't fill that script. You need to cancel it and never look back. I am into day 21 now and it does get better. I was exactly where you were 6,7,8 7.5's a day. It's a slippery slope and will only get worse. I think I feel "normal" by going out and attempting to do normal things. My biggest fear was going back to my routine without a high and it is OK. I wish you the best success and PLEASE think about it. You are over the worst physical W/D ..... the road of salvation awaits you......

As long as that script is sitting there waiting to be filled it will haunt you.  Bringing it home will be just setting you up to fall again.  Why not just cancel it?  You spoke of energy on them.....They give us a false sense of security.  At some point they will turn on you and all he!! will break loose. There are other ways to deal with your pain than taking these.    sara
