[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am fighting a dependence on Vicodin right now. I have a legitimate prescription but I don't want to take it anymore. I've been taking it (very low dosage, 15 mg daily) for 5 years. I have tapered down to 5 mg per day. It's really hard.[/quote]

I'm really curious about this. Tell me why it's hard -- do you feel lousy when it starts wearing off? Do you feel good on it (like sort of high) or do you just feel normal, and without it you feel terrible? Is the pain unmanageable without it?

Thanks in advance for sharing, if you're willing to. Good luck to you![/quote]

I'm the PP-- they don't make me feel high (I take a very low dose). They are, instead, a miracle cure for my lifelong severe anxiety. They make me feel normal. If I stop taking them, I just have bad cravings and some low level withdrawal symptoms-- headache, nausea, chills. Like a mild flu. It's hard to stop,taking them because they work better for me than any anxiety med, and I've tried many. But I know I need to stop taking them because I am physically dependent.[/quote]
