Ok, I've been taking vicodins, and xanax...prescribed by my doctor for quite sometime now. Probably over a year. I started taking the vicodin due to an accident I had, for major back pain (2 hernitated discs, and a ton of arthritis in my back..and I'm only 32) and a bone spur in my hip, which causes pain...well, it's time to stop. Because I have completly lost myself in these meds. First thing is first..I am needing to get off the vicos first, then the xanax.
