I have both Vicodin and Ativan here. I only take them ocasionally because I don't want to build up a tolerance or run out of pills. Can't smoke weed anymore, so these pills are my only way to get high.\n\nI suppose it's ok if you don't take too many every day and become addicted. It's easy to become addicted to these drugs because they can give you a buzz.

It is called Loestrin I believe.  I'm thinking of switching & have tried to do some research on it.  It sounds pretty good.  Try their website: www.shortperiod.com

Hydrocodone is the generic name for Lortab.  It sounds like you may not tolerate it very well.  When you are feeling achy is it after it has worn off?  It is a pain killer.  I would go to my doctor and tell him about the symptoms that I was having.  Personally I don't do well on Lortab because it makes me nauseous where other painkillers work better.

I battled drug and alcohol addiction.  Not heroin, but addictions nonetheless.  I knew that the only way I was going to get off the merry-go-round was to remove myself from everything and everyone I knew.  I chose to go commercial fishing in Alaska.  I was at sea for 6-8 weeks at a time and the only time we docked, it was to offload and use the phone at the end of the dock.  That's all the further away I got from the boat.  Airfare, room, board, all company-paid.  I stayed up for 8 mos, amassing a nice, big bank account.  When I got home, I couldn't easily adapt to being back on land so left again 5 weeks later.  A new addiction, fishing.  And I never picked up the old ones again.  How this can help your daughter is:  she gains new perspective, opens her life to alternate ways of living, she'll work herself to exhaustion, she'll earn a great deal of money and she will be on a "dry boat".  No booze, no drugs, period.\n\nIt really, really worked for me.  I made different friends and met the man I would marry (these 15 years later, we are still).  \n\nOnce she understands that her destiny can be shifted by different decisions she makes, perhaps she'll be willing to harness her own power to move into her own future.  Her methadone is as much a crutch as her heroin was, though, admittedly, a better crutch.  At the end of the day though, a crutch is still the thing we lean on when we either cannot or will not walk on our own two feet.  \n\nAs a mother, I ache for you.  And I wish you all the peace and luck with your daughter.

not addictive, but people use way too much when instead they should be put on maintenance therapy.   I know people who use 2 inhalers in less than 14 days.

I don't live in Oklahoma, but I'll let you know one thing - STAY AWAY FROM EPHEDRA!  The stuff is dangerous, look up info about it through search engines.  Yes, I have tried it and I almost didn't get away with my life.

Ultram + valum or some other benzo, ultram helps a lot. If you are getting sick you are addicted but you probably know that by now, and if you are going through them to fast then one of 2 things. Either you need a new dr who will perscribe you what you need cuz your tolerance has increased a lot, or you are, yes, i will say it, taking to much medicine. Methadone helps too if you can get some of that and Butalnorpine, but imo that doesnt help as much. Best possible solution is methadone but kinda rough to get unless you know any who goes to a clinic. Being sick, even off pain pills is no fun. I'd call your doctor, a different one maybe complain of some sort of moderate pain that tylenol advil isnt helping and say you dont want to take narcotics because  you dont want to become adicted but is there anything else you can take? and get some ultram to last you through, it wont fix ur sickness but it will take the edge off, Ultram works like an opiate but isnt an opiate.. pretty confusing actually.. but that's what I would do if ya dont think you can get more pain pills right now.

I do I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I've learned over the years that I have a problem with addiction.  I recently was released from jail and while in jail I stopped using pot and alcohol.  I found out that it's easier to stay clean than to quit cold-turkey.  I have a trial in June 06 and as evidence of my sobriety I am choosing to submit a drug test to the court, hoping to see I've turned over a new leaf. Take it from me, I hope your use doesn't get out of control.  It certainly did for me and now I might have to go to jail.  Have fun, but don't get to crazy.  And alittle more advice, Unless you plan to be a junkie, don't try any harder drugs.  All of my past friends, and I mean ALL, are junkies now.  Some do H, others ice, a couple do oxy's and morphine pills. I even have a few crackhead friends.  Anytime a "friend" offers you free drugs, chances are they just want to get you hooked so you'll do it more, and get them high in the process.  Or you'll go threw them to get the drugs and they will either pinch your stuff, or overcharge you to put a little x-tra money in their pocket to feed their addiction.  Just don't let your recreational drug use spiral out of control.  I did and now I face jail time.  I'm clean now and plan to stay that way.  Have fun for now.

Afrin is very addictive.  You just need to stop using it cold turkey.  I know you will be miserable at first, but if you can hold out a couple of days your congestion will clear up on its own.  Good luck.

Pain medications, such as Vicodin are usually the most addictive.  Many strong pain medications can have similar effects as Morphine, which is considered to be addictive.\n\nWhile there probably isn't any particular athlete that's most prone, ones that are involved in contact sports or in repetitive activities (such as throwing) that are likely to cause injury are most at risk.

Hi gaylon e,\n Please don't listen to the first 3 answers! \nI've been on methadone for over 5 yrs. now. It's the ONLY thing that keeps my pain manageable.Yes, it's physically addicting,but it is the only narcotic that provides relief without getting a "buzz" from it. I had brain surgery 9 years ago and had metal inserted into my aneurysm to fill it up.The neck of it reopened causing the  metal coils to  compress, and the result is "systemic vasculitis". In layman's terms, it means my cerebral arteries are inflamed.It's inoperable at present time, but I keep hoping for a miracle!\n  I was sent to a pain clinic and the doctors there offered this drug. I had complained that drugs such as vicodin and oxycontin didn't work unless I ate them like candy. They also made me feel "high". My quality of life sucked back then. Now, I am finally able to manage my pain and my quality of life is much better. Also, being on disability, it is hard to manage the newer medicines because of cost effectiveness. Methadone has been around for years and it's cheap. There's a pain medicine called  fentynal  that comes as a patch and you change it every 3 days or so, but the cost is astronomical without prescription coverage.\nIt is simply not true that methadone is unavailable outside of hospitals and that methadone's only use is for withdrawal from heroin. Please get your facts straight before spreading these myths.\nThe doctors at the pain clinic changed my life for the better. I no longer suffer in silence. If methadone is working for you, stay with it. From experience I can say the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. Check out the link below for more info. Good luck to you!

I used those for a while.  But my sides starting hurting and I quit.\nDiet pills never work, but seems we always hope there is one pill that'll do it.

Vicodin is one of the most commonly abused prescription pain medications today. One of the most widely prescribed medications, Vicodin and its related medications, loricet, loritab percodan, and oxycontin are opioid-based pain medications. Vicodin is a derivative of opium, which is also used to manufacture heroin. Individuals with a Vicodin addiction become deeply depressed, and their thinking, attention, and judgement become impaired. Their thoughts dwell on the next high, although they tell themselves they are still taking Vicodin for pain or to avoid the withdrawal symptoms. Individuals with a Vicodin addiction often truly feel physical pain, but it is psychologically produced. \nThe symptoms of Vicodin withdrawal include but are not limited to:\n\nrestlessness \n\nmuscle pain \n\nbone pain \n\ninsomnia \n\ndiarrhea \n\nvomiting \n\ncold flashes \n\ngoose bumps \n\ninvoluntary leg movements \n\nwatery eyes \n\nrunny nose \n\nloss of appetite \n\nirritability \n\npanic \n\nnausea \n\nchills \n\nsweating

First let me say I am sorry for whatever ailment that has caused you to take any medication for such an extended period of time.  \n\nAs for your answer, Vicroprofen is Hydrocodone and Ibuprophen.  Hydrocodone is an opiate drug (highly addictive).  You will need an opiate receptor blocking agent (from a rehab center) to get over this.  Other remedies are also available, but professional help is a must.
