vicodin

Avatar f tn I started takiing narcotics (vicodin, percocet, oxys) recreationally 5 years ago. Generally 10 - 15 percocet 10/650s. Other days anything that I can get my hands on. Today is the 2nd day with nothing and I am a mess. I can't tell up from down in from out or what any emotion is. I cry, I yell, I have cramps, I throw up. I do not want to live with the durgs in my body anymore. I cant feel anymore. I cant remember anything anymore. Life is passing me by and I dont know how to rejoin it.
Avatar n tn I have no desire to take them for recreational purposes at all. I just want to make sure Im not going to get dragged through withdrawals again. I was only prescribed 10 5/325 Vicodin and im just looking for reassurance that im not going to be put through hell again if i need to take a couple for pain over the course of a few days.
Avatar m tn I found this sight researching how to detox from Vicodin. I'm impressed! I take Vicodin every day and really want to stop. I'm embarrassed to admit that it has a hold on me as I have convinced myself that I can stop any time and that I'm in control of my 'recreational' drug use. When I think about getting through work tomorrow without it or not using it to help me 'stuff' my issues I feel a paralyzing fear and don't know if I even can or want to do it.
Avatar f tn Hi All, I have found great help in reading all your posts and want to say thanks. I have always like taking vicodin as a recreational drug (like when out drinking on a weekend and a friend hands me one); however, I had a bad accident 1 1/2 ago and have been on them ever since. I take 1 a day during the week...But on weekends, I find myself taking 2 or 3 a day. I know deep down inside I do not need them anymore for the pain. If I do not take one, I start sneezing constantly and can't stop.
Avatar f tn An additional concern I have is that I have put myself at risk because of recreational use of Vicodin, which has gone on for about 2 yrs. While I have never taken more than a small dosage on a given day (never more than 500mg in a day and most often about 250mg), my usage has been fairly consistent usually about twice a week. Would a tinnitus resulting from Vicodin use be more likely to result in strictly tinnitus, without the hearing loss? Thanks everyone. I really appreciate any input.
Avatar n tn I was sober off everything during the first 3 months of pregnancy. Lately, I have been abusing 1000 mg vicodin and I take about 3 a day. I am in pain, but it has turned into recreational and possibly physical addiction. I also take an occasional xanax as well. Have I hurt any aspect of the baby's development. I feel like I hate myself and I need help. I'm also on 60 mg of prozac a day, which the doctor told me was ok, and he monitors my meds.
Avatar f tn that i just want to do it on my own. will i be ok if i just stop taking vicodin, i have been taking 1-2 pills a day for almost 2 years it seems that if i dont take one my heart pumps reallly fast, is that a withdrawlor what. do people die from stopping the med.
Avatar m tn I was only on Zoloft for a month. I stopped cold turkey because I didn't like how they suppressed my real emotions. It wasn't a problem stopping cold turkey for me. I'm only temporarily using Tramadol to help with my Vicodin withdrawal because I stopped it cold turkey and I'm having very uncomfortable chills as a result and the tramadol is helping a lot. I'm only going to be using Tramadol for a few more days until my body recovers from not having any Vicodin.
Avatar n tn I was first introduced to Vicodin ES (10mg/325 APAP) in December of 2008. I have been taking between 4-8 10mg Vicodins everyday for about 4-5 months now. I finally realized I have an addiction and I am wasting to much money on them. I really enjoy taking them for recreational purposes but I think its about time I stop. Compared to others, and the readers of this, is my addiction severe? I am thinking about tapering down to about 2 a day and then after about a week stopping cold turkey.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I am new and just had a couple of concerns/questions....I take vicodin when I can to feel "fluffy" and then my girlfriend gave me Tramadol because she didn't have any vicodin and I took two of those sometimes 3 (50mg)....It isn't the same feeling as vicodin.....I'm just wondering what it is doing....why it isn't the same? Are 3 a day safe? I am not taking any drug everyday.
229538 tn?1300377767 The recommendation from a panel of drug safety specialists would subject Vicodin and dozens of other medicines to the same restrictions as other narcotic drugs like oxycodone and morphine. The Food and Drug Administration panel voted 19-10 in favor of the move, which is supported by the Drug Enforcement Agency. The FDA will weigh the vote in its decision-making process. Hydrocodone belongs to a family of drugs known as opioids, which include morphine, heroin, oxycodone, codeine and methadone.
Avatar f tn I am determined to break free from this horrible addiction to vicodin that I have been struggling with for about 2 years. I have taken 5-7 pills a day, various strengths, for recreational use. Well, I stopped getting high from it a while ago & now I am living in a constant state of withdrawal. I am taking more and more and falling into a deeper & deeper depression. I need to stop. Can anyone tell me how long I can expect to feel W/D symptoms from vicodin.
Avatar m tn does it sound like i was abusing the vicodin? do you think i damaged my mental/emotional growth from the vicodin?? please reassure me because im still in puberty and i dont want this effecting my social skills or somethin.
Avatar n tn Bless you all for the encouragement. I badly need it. I knew I was addicted almost immediately and just didn't care. I think the first time I took Vicodin I thought "This is going to be a problem." I had done plenty of recreational drugs and they never came close to a problem for me. I just finally found my drug. I'm also taking prozac - will that help? How do I take the first step?
Avatar m tn Rgvsr wanted to stop and taper off Vicodin after 7 years, taking 10/325, I am prescribed 60 a month of 10/325, and 30 Valium 10 mg a month and is that enough to taper and how long will it take to quit.already started a couple of months ago-but went up and down a bit because of getting a new doctor, as Edgar D Ramirez, pain mang doc was a lunatic.
Avatar f tn Hey ya'll it's snowflake and I have a quick question, I have been taking Vicodin 60 mgs a day for5 days due to surgery on my hand.
Avatar f tn I have done all I can not to use pain killers they persc to me. Like a one month scip for Vicodin will last me 3 months. I have always past there drug test. I have a great deal of neck and head pain. I was in a MVA in 06. have been fused c3-t1 and in the low back as well l4-s1. I also have nerve damage of both left and right occipital nerves and have had a stimulator put in the back of my head. I was told I have Parkinson a yrs ago, and am very very stiff. It is very hard to fall asleep.
Avatar f tn Does oxycontin as recreational use exhibit symptoms of indifference and apathy and unconcern over everyday obligations and responsibilities which prior to use were contradictory to the persons character. In other words a complete change of personally untecogisable by loved ones?
Avatar f tn I am, or should I say was, a recreational drug user. In the last two months I smoked pot regularly and took approx. 3 vicodin 10mg and 1 percocet 10mg to help with back pain from a car accident. I don't regularly use pain meds and am far from addicted, I am just so worried that those couple pills hurt my little one. :( help!
Avatar n tn Hi, My queston is can coke cause a person to have dizzy spells days after using? This person thinks he's recreational but uses every week-end, all week-end in large amts. IS there such a thing as recreational cocaine use?
983679 tn?1276833336 Who ever thought that plain old Vicodin would ever become the recreational drug of choice?" Certainly not Rush Limbaugh.
397118 tn?1219762250 I was a rx user only...not recreational.....3 yrs on vicodin until a few weeks ago..ct with all the known problems, but now see the light at the end of the tunnel...except....the horrible back pain ...that got me in trouble to begin with.......perhaps your recommendation could help me...
Avatar m tn Hey everyone, I've spent so much time lurking these forums over the past couple months and getting inspiration from other people's stories that I wanted to reach out and actually contribute. Today is day one of my getting off Vicodin plan and I'm quite dedicated to leaving the drug behind, but, like many others, concerned about the road ahead.
