Vic's

As most of you know, I still take Vic's. About 4 a day. I feel really fu**** up right now..I took them as directed..is this normal?
Thanks for all your help..
I am on day 5 of no Norco (10/325). Norco is hydrocodone. I don't wish this feeling on anyone. I am trying to hold down my full time job and be a mother at the same time. It sucks. I am having great difficulty functioning. I am a wife too. Basically, my resources ran out and I was forced to stop., I had to do a quick tapering. Haven't had anything since Saturday except for Pheregan for the nausea. That helped a lot.

I wish everyone luck. Please write to me with some hints of how to cope.
Kat- I take them for legit pain..and now feel like I'm screwed up...like I did a month ago..what the heck is wrong with me??!!??
Danny,

Were you abusing them at some point? If you always takin them as presc then you shouldnt have any problems.
Kiwi..have never taken more than the srcipt...I was addicited to Xanax though..think it might paranoia? I feel really messed up for some reason...
I think that no matter why people take Vic.... they become addicted. Doctor's are ruthless. They hand out this medication like candy, then just expect their patients to deal with the agony when they become addicted. Did you run out of medicine and now are feeling like hell? I can relate with that. It is so scary when you know you only have 4-5 pills left and no prescription left, or have to call the doctor who will deny you....I went through that so many times. You feel like a real scumbag. A beggar. The internet really skrewed me up. What a pure evil. I get several messages a day from pill pushers over the net. It's real tempting to take them up on their evil offer. i am so sorry you have real pain and have to take VIC.

as I recall you were also at one point on a patch for pain...?.... did you start that back tooo .?... if so this might give you your answer....
Tere- No patch...just feeling weird from the pills..like I'm high or something!
Kat-Me too..I tried non-narco and I had to be readmitted to the hospital because of the pain..this just plain sucks...but I'm not oing to go over my 'script amount no matter what...it just is making me feel "high"..(actually, "was" is a better word...feeling more normal now....still though..all these friggin drugs are evil.
Sorry everyone..I'm messed up
danny, just stay on track. It sucks to be an addict and have to deal with pain.
Just be honest with yourself....big hugs to you.

I went to the beach last sunday all by myself, didn't go out to makena, not enough time, but I went to Keaweakapu...I thought of you there! I just floated and totally surrendered...everything...it was weird, though...my gut was screaming with anxiety.

Just don't abuse them...
I had a nurse tell my best friend once that there was actually nothing addictive in vicoden....go figure.
Thanks LB- I'm just scared..
I changed my Avatar...someone else was using the same one I did..
Ive been (again..2nd time) cutting way back on the Vics. I have a massive headache...am sweating..major depressed..anxiety..have a lot of restless feeling..feel like throwing up...is this all normal?
Also..ringing in my ears..any advice is appreciated..
Did I make people mad? No one will answer!!!
Hey Danny

Just want you to know that you have not been abandoned !! The people on here that know their stuff will be back to you soon, they just have lives too and I guess are very busy right now. I really cannot help you...just a voice out here to say hang in ok? Sounds like you're doing well...cause the things you were describing sound like w/d, which is what you are after??? Which is a good thing, just keep going! I haven't heard anyone say that it wasn't worth it at the end, so keep up the good work!
The pros on this board will answer you today, I am sure, in the meantime, just know that I will be praying for you and you stay strong!!! ok? You CAN do this!

Danny,
You probably feel a little guilty about taking the pills even thought you have legit pain. Don't worry take a nap and you should feel normal again and maybe split them in half or something. Some people just have a lesser tolerance to them. Not me unfortunetly.
