I took 3 4 Vicodin a day for approximately 6 weeks. This was for multiple tooth infections, and ultimately extractions. They started at 7.5mg does and, after the extractions, the does was upped to 10mg.I was worried about stopping, for fear of withdrawal. I haven't had any for over 24 hours now, and I don't feel any kind of withdrawal. I am taking Ibuprofen for the lingering pain and feeling fine.Is it safe to say that I did not become addicted?

Husbands vicodin addiction question?
My husband has had a vicodin problem for the last 20 months. He took 5 or so pills a day. I found out 2 weeks ago and it was a relief to him. He quit cold turkey. He had withdrawls for the first week, but, then he started talking about how great he felt. He said he hadn't felt this good in two years and he was so glad I found out and that he was able to quit. Now, he told me that even though he doesn't want the pills anymore he is starting to feel tired again. It is a let down to him because he had been feeling so great. Is this normal? Is there anything he can do to feel less tired or is this just normal life now?

Can anyone give me some info on vicodin addiction and rehab?
My husband has been addicted to vicodin for 2 years. I found out in March. He went cold turkey and made it through the horrible with drawls. He was clean about 2 months, then, he went back to using. He was only using a week or so before I found out. He started going to NA meetings faithfully, got a sponsor, and seemed to be doing well. He made it 3 weeks and used. He got back on track and made it another 10 days. Used again. He came home last night and told me he can't do this alone, on the outside and wants to go to rehab. Of couse I said great. So, he is going to detox Tuesday and then to a inpatient facility. How will rehab help him? He gets his vicodin at his job and it is not going away and he cannot quit his job. Will rehab make him stronger? I have no idea what to expect. Any help would be great. Anyone had the same problem and stayed clean? Thank you so much for any info.

Question about Vicodin Addiction?
I have been with my man for a little over a year. We live together. He is such a good man to my daughter. He treats us both with love and respect. He works hard, and he even is a full time, straight " A" student in college. Recently, I found that my vicodin bottle was empty, and I questioned him. He admitted that he has a vicodin addiction, but that if they aren't around, he'll be okay. On one hand, I'm hurt that he took vicodin out of my bottle and lied about his addiction, but on the other hand, he is very supportive of me. He is always around to help when I'm feeling sick, he cleans up the house, cooks, supports me, and is very kind. He expressed to me that he is going to contact his doctor and let him know that he's addicted I'll know if he's lying because I work in the same doctor's office as my bf's doctor . Should I stay with my boyfriend even though I have some apprehensions?
