Vicodin has been a close companion of mine for many years. i would sometimes take 50 a day. I, too thought it would cure my depression. I sure used to feel good on them. I took vicodins to the point that they did not work and bleeding sores erupted all over my body. That was 3 years ago and now i'm struggling with getting off Fentanyl patches/morphine/percocet. I can no longer drive, am paranoid and don't socialize anymore. The appeal of this drug is so strong I still wish I had a purse full. I am only 3 days clean right now and I am in purgatory. I have been an addict to prescription and street drugs for over 20 years. I am only 31. I have wasted my life on getting a "fix" for how bad I feel, and now I pray i live long enough to see my kids grow up. This drug doesn't give a damn about your age or status in life. It will kill you and you'll still want to use. Please anyone in their early days of using vicodin talk to people that this drug has affected. I know you don't think it can happen to you. We have all thought the same thing, but "IT" still happened.
