Congratulations! You are now addicted to pain medication! My suggestion is, start cutting your dosage in half a week at a time, until you no longer need the medication. (Take half the dosage you are talking for a week, then half of THAT for a week etc. until it is gone!) You cannot stop abruptly at this point, without going into what could a dangerous withdrawl. If this does not work for you, GET HELP from a professional addiction specialist/physician. You would not be the first or last person to become addicted to pain medications. It's not your fault, but what you do NOW certainly requires you to take some responsibility!
Don't mess with it. The longer you wait, the more medicine you will require to get that "high", and the more potential damage you can do to yourself. You also would not be the first person to accidently overdose on pain meds and DIE. Think about it!

Okay, you need to stop deluding yourself. Everything that you describe equals addiction and you are past the "dabbling" part. It doesn't matter the amount, it is the fact that you are taking them daily, and not because you are in pain. This is serious business, and you need to fess up to a healthcare practitioner and get some help. Virtually zero folks can stop this on their own. Get into a medically supervised detox center, find a support system like pills anonymous and count your lucky stars that you have not suffered many consequences of your addiction. If you continue down this path, your use will escalate and your life will end up in the crapper. I have seen this scenario too many times to count, so buck up and take care of this. You can live a happy, productive life without pills. Good Luck!!

You ARE an addict. You can't take them and you need to tell your doctor. Yeah....right. I know you probably won't....but you should. And believe me when I tell you....yes some addicts take 15 a day....but you said that was some kind of limit? No such thing.
There are people out there who are or have taken 60 or more a day. And the longer you let this go one, the worse it will get. Before you know it, you will be going to multiple doctors and/or calling in your own prescriptions. I have seen it hundreds of times. You never think it will happen to you, but it will.

You have taken vicoden for 2yrs now? How many do you take a day??No, its not ok to take them every now and again because you are craving them. As a matter of a fact, its against the law.You are no different than a crack head buying crack because he is craving that feeling. A drug is a drug is a drug.I cant beleive you said you are in no way a addict.If you have been takeing them for two years try not taking them for a month and then tell me your not addicted.I will be praying for you.

Please get treatment immediately. You're not even convincing yourself anymore.You know you are addicted and at least you are self aware enough to request help or feedback from strangers. For two years you have been taking a dangerous medication which you can no longer have legally or ethically prescribed to you. You are risking yourself and the person who supplies them to you. That qualifies as addiction. Its not as severe as the 10-15 a day but its kind of like being a "little bit pregnant". Please get help.

Vicodin is a mild morfin, but just as addictiv. You will increase your
doses over time and eventually end up at a hellish week at some
rehab. Been there, done that.
