Unhappy 2nd time quitting, 1st time seeking help

I was first precribed vicoden in May of 2005 for kidney stones (my daughter was 7 months old). I ended up having major surgery for the problem in April 2006. Doctor stopped scripts in May of 2006. It took a good 8-12 months to start feeling natrually good again, but not w/out the help of 3 anti-depressants. Someone at work started getting percocets in Dec. of 2007, he does not take them, so he has given them to me. I didn't think it would become a problem again. Boy was I wrong. Now I just found out I'm pregnant, and MUST stop taking them. Today has been my first day w/out them and am feeling like hell; tired, no energy, back killing me, very depressed and very mean. Oh and I had to stop taking 2 out of 3 of my anti-depressants, because I'm prenant. Please tell me it's not going to take another wasted year of my life to get over this useless addiction. I don't know if I can cope that long, especially w/ a 3 1/2 year old and one on the way. Sorry I wrote so much.

What a better reason to quit than a new baby.
I guess depending on how you look at it.
Talk to your Dr about it.
Glad you are here.

I would definitely talk to your dr about the vicoden addiction and get his advice.

Congratulations on your pregnancy.
