"Hello everyone, i'm Dan. I'm wrighting this to try and find some help. Where do i begin? As a teen (around 15) my dad was severly electracuted. Long storie short the docs put him on vicodens as well as some other pain meds. I hung around some bad influnces who sugested i should take some of them. Well i did, and as i look back i wish i had never ever ever did that. till i was about 19 i was hooked on pain meds. Anything and every thing. then as my habbit grew i started to take more and more from "friends" and from my dad. at that time i was taking around 5-8 vicoden ES a day. What stoped me was when my dad noticed his scrips running out before they should have and he caught me taking some by counting his pills. Well it was VERY hard but i quit cold turkey. It was very painful and i feel for anyone who has to go through it. Guess what. I had Knee Surgery and was put back on vicoden 10/650's 2 years ago and now im in even deeper then before. I'm taking 15 of these a day! Thats 30 normal vicodens. Im buying em stealing em what ever it takes. its made me a MONSTER! and i want to STOP!!! i know how bad it hurt to stop last time and was taking half of what im taking now. I guess im just looking for some advice. if anyone has any on how to lessen the pain of withdraw id love to hear it! Please help me!"
