After my injury and my arm getting infected afterwards I was on viccoden for a couple of months and bro it was really hard for me to get off of it. I mean for months I craved a tab of it, and my wife had some in the medicine cabinet and every time I felt a joint pain or an ache I would walk over and get the bottle and just stare at it for a few minutes before putting it up without taking one.

My torn bicep got a major infection in it, long story, and had to had to be left open (a 1/2" incision) to drain while it healed for a month, and had to regularly be flushed with saline, and repacked.
Basically my girlfriend at the time and I got food poisoning at a buffet a couple days after a minor bicep tear and the bacteria in the food spread from my GI tract to my arm (the doctors found the same bacteria in a culture from my arm that had been found in my wife and I's systems after eating the food).
Needless to say my arm hurt a lot all the time.

Vicode/ Loritab (Hydrocodone) Is clinically proven more addictive than any other pain med morphine, demarol etc.. Studies show (and I am an addict too) That 1 week of hydrocodone use even at 1 day can cause withdrawals. I am down to 1 vicoden a day from app. 100+mg a day of oxycodone (percoset) I have been taking 1 vicoden a day (1 7.5 mg tab I take and split it into 2 doses) and If I stopped cold turkey I would feel withdrawals!!!! See Here is what happens Just like steroids stop your natty Test production...Pain killers stop your natty production of Dopamine (your body's natural pain killer) so after taking them and stopping all the pain you had before you started that was covered up by your bodies natural dopamine .. you start to feel because you have no pain killers and no dopamine in your system!!

Bump this up. Bro, I am worried about you. You have been doing good with your other problems and I know if you overcame the eating disorder, you can overcome this. I know the one tab a day is bullshit and so does everyone else. Like I said, unless you are talking oc 80, then one vic tab is crap. You need to be honest with yourself, that is the only way to overcome this. I have had my own demons to deal with when it comes to this poison. We are all your brothers here on Elite, if you need help, we are here for you.

you can take Ultram (tramadol hcl) to wean yourself off of hydrocodone (a/k/a vicodin).
Take a descending dose. It's a non-opioid, non-controlled drug more moderate to severe pain available only by Rx in USA but might be over the counter in Mexico. "Tramacet" -- Mexican version of tramadol and acetimeniphen.
