Vicodin addiction

I've been taking gradually more and more over the past 3 months and take up to 10 10mg a day. I want to stop desperately but also have two small children and its hard. Is there any medicine I can ask my dr for to help with the withrawls?

You should not be embarrassed when you are looking to do the right thing. You should be nothing but proud of yourself.
Good Luck.

There are medications given to you to help withdrawal, but usually based in your symptoms, age, health and lifestyle.
Some medication can make you sleepy by lowering your blood pressure, what can be dangerous if you are driving and etc…
Please discuss with your doctor , when you decide to start the withdrawal process. He knows you and your history and can give you the appropriate medication that will be safe for you.
