Has anyone gone through a depression after stopping pain meds?

Question

I got into a fight two months ago, and i had a side tooth fall out. It was painful and my doctor prescribed me Vicodins. I've been taking them everyday and even abused and lied about losing my pills to get more from the pharmacy and even lied about going on vacation to get more. I stopped for about 3 days now, and i find myself being extremely depressed, for no reason. Anyone experience anything similar?

Answer 1

You're going through withdrawal. The depression will pass. The drug just has to leave.
