Question by THE BEST: will you help me on this question concerning the medication/drug Vicadin?
I know someone who had been addicted to cocaine for about 10 years….was clean for 2-3 years.. and now has admittted she is addicted to vicadins…….she has been off them 8 days. Has entered treatment at a clinic…..I’m curious if those are as bad as being addicted to cocaine, alcohol, cigarettes,…..etc.?
I know they probably aren’t as strong as some drugs, but her life has been affected by something lately, how does being addicted to a pain med affect you….how do you act? …I’ve seen w/drawal when people haven’t had a cigarette….drink….pot….but was curious what you do when you can’t get a painkiller….what does it do to a person…when they where maybe not even in pain……what’s the addiction to? how hard is it going to be for her to get off them?
