Vicodin withdrawal, please help!?
Question by Kitty: Vicodin withdrawal, please help!?
I’m 17 and i have been addicted to vicodin sense i was 14….It was always easy for me to obtain it because i stole countless pills every month from my Mom (As horrible as that sounds) and she found out and now she said she’s not getting the pills anymore. I’m very upset and I’m on day 2 without vicodin and I’m sweating, have chills and i feel sick as hell with a god awful headache. Could i go to my doctor about this? Could she prescribe me vicodin and slowly ween me off it instead of me going cold turkey? I just need the pills so bad, i always depended on them for my anxiety…But now that i don’t have it my anxiety is off the charts and my depression has increased to the point of suicidal thoughts.
Could my doctor prescribe me vicodin and slowly ween me? I sure hope so! I don’t know what to do..this is so hard…
AND PLEASE DON’T SAY “GO TO REHAB” I’M NOT GOING TO FUCKING REHAB. (Opps sorry..i am really angry right now, me having my period + not having vicodin + me being depressed= shitty mood and terrible headache)
I know Vicodin is not an anxiety medication, but a pain medication. But it always gave me a feeling of will-being and euphoria. It made me feel good and pain free, psychically and emotionally. I have had a very bad childhood, i was raped and molested, beaten and i was never aloud out of my room. I basically went to school and when i came home i had to go to my bedroom all day until the next day which was the same thing. Those types of days repeated for several years. I was beat with a belt by my step dad and i was occasionally molested by my neighbor…those memories flash back to me..and when they do i pop a vicodin in my mouth. It eases my pain and makes me feel euphoric. Without it I’m just a sobbing mess. I NEED the pills to get me through the day. For the past 2 days i have slept a total 31 hours. I don’t have the will to get out of bed, today i had to drag myself out of bed. All I’m saying is i can’t do daily things without vicodin. COULD THE DOCTOR WEEN ME OFF?
