hi ,
i have been searching for a chat or someone who is in the same fix as i am..i have been addicted to vicoprophen for the last 10 years....on and off but for the most part on...as i write this..i have two weeks clean of those monsters....i started taking them after a huge ankle surgery 10 years ago...stopped...then had a serious, work related back injury...started up again...got off them about two years ago..then i had a hip replacement....on again with a vengance....i had no idea if i was in pain or not...exhausted most of my resources...and so....the dreaded weaning began...did a great job at the weaning thing..and while i did get drug sick...it was not as terrible as it has been at other times....i also had to work...omg....i took four days to do the heaviest detox.....then went back to work clean....the first five days at work were so so so so so hard...i felt like @!#$...sweating...yawning..sneezing..coughing...but , nevertheless, working....my coworkers said i was a " little grouchy" ...if they only knew...
at the time of this writing, i am feeling great...i do take seroquel...a sort of a non addictive calming thing...and have used some ambien in the first week...i had to sleep and couldnt....so....two weeks clean...i feel more clear..less mellow...no pain..i hope and pray i do not go to this place again.....but it can be done....so go for it..

I don't even know where to begin here......Lets rewind back to exactly 1 year ago from today......On this day 1 year ago I had a Total Abdominal Hyst, I had endo through-out my female organs. So to go back farther, I'd say oh about 7-8 months prior, I had huge amounts of pain, went to doc after doc.....till finally one day one of the doc's realised what my burden was, ENDO. This of course after several sugery's. So needless to say I was put on painkillers, everything from perc's, 2 vicodin, WHICH in turn became my drug of choice :( So basically here I sit depressed, angry at myself, frustrated and just plain ol' down. I want sooooooooooooo bad to rid these evil pills out of my life FOREVER. I had quit at one time, but relapsed like most of us do......I have some suboxone, however the last time i took it i thought i was going to die and swear i saw my guardian angel.

So does anyone out there in internet land have any advice for me? or tips?

I am almost 30, might as well....
