My ex-husband started taking vicodin 7 years ago after a root canal. He has been taking up to 50 pills per day of either vicodin, percaset, darvecet or any other prescription pain drug there is. At first I thought it was for legitamate reasons. He had shoulder surgery, wrist surgery and then a vasectomy. But he continued to abuse pain pills, eventually leaving me and our two children to pursue his addiction. He now is trying to get clean. I am wondering what are the long term effects of this kind of abuse? Does he have a chance to live a healthy life? Will his body recover?
