Some advice for self detoxing
I need some advice, I have been taking vicodin, 1 pill 3x a day, 7.5 mg, for about 3 months now. Tommorow is my first day off the medicine. I am scared. I have a rx for xanax, .25 mg for my anxiety. I do not abuse the xanax at all. I am also on seroquel 200 mg and ambien 12.5 mg a night. I am wondering how often I should take the xanax to curb the withdrawal symptoms. Am I really physically addicted??? 3 years ago I went to a detox facility for oxycontin abuse. I kicked it for 3 years!! And fell back into this ******** after 3 years of soberness. I had a bunch of dental procedures done and then wrist tendonitis and cold and I am done with all of that, at this point I am quite frankly abusing them now. I need some advice for kicking this crap on my own. Please, anyone???

Hi and welcome. I suggest you speak to someone in your community i.e. doctor or addictions specialist for advice on how to taper. Cold turkey is not recommended and can be deadly.
Please stick around for support and encouragement - there is plenty of that here.
I got clean off benzos 5 years ago and I've been off booze for nearly 3 years. Recovery IS possible.
