I intentionally overdosed myself on vicodin for tooth pain I couldn’t endure. As soon as it was fixed the pain was gone and I quit the vicodin. It was only five days I took it and the withdrawl was awful. I could have gone postal. It is very addictive and dangerous. People who take it for recreation are not criminals. They need help finding a life. If those pills were for him he has mental problems. Wonder where it got that from?

what kind of withdrawls did you have? I’ve been on the stuff for 6 months for chronic knee pain...

I know what you mean. I had brain surgery transsphenoidally (through the nose) and the recovery pain was like the worst sinus headache x 1000. Only morphine shots provided relief. When I left the hospital both the pain and the withdrawals were horrible. Thank goodness I do not have an addictive personality. We still have strong pain medication from some procedure or other from a few years ago (probably expired by now) in our medicine cabinet. I don’t enjoy opium’s “high” at all.
