I have had to take Vicodin for about 4 months straight now, and people think I am a drug addict, which I am not, I have tried every single holistic method and I have tried many many other narcotic analgesics and they all made me not be able to function. I think that it is messed up that the pharmaceutical companies put NASID(s) like Tylenol and Ibuprofen in the Vicodin. I suffer from a back injury from a car accident, to where I am limited on the work and or activities I can do on a daily basis. I have a bulge disc in my lower back and a tore thecal sac. And I suffer from no cartilage in one of my knees and get horrible stress headache's to where I am pretty much forced to take prescription narcotics. And I cannot take Tylenol or Ibuprofen because it simply wont work for the pain that I am in. I hope all the best for all of you with your Vicodin addiction, the "drug" is like the devil, once your on it for chronic pain it is really hard to get off of it. As long as you don't abuse your prescription dosage then you are not considered a "drug addict" and you have actual medical problems to use the narcotics for "medicinal usage" I hate it how the people that abuse the drug make the people that actually need it get "yelled" at by the doctors and "degraded" making them think you are seeking drugs. I would not even think of taking a narcotic if I was not in chronic pain everyday and with most of us it is the last resort, before surgery or after surgery it doesn't cure the problem it just hides it so we can do daily activities without any issues.
