Withdrawals...

Withdrawal....not fun. For more than five weeks I took hydrocodone for pain from my broken wrist. The dose was tapered off during the last couple off weeks. I had always heard that hydrocodone (Vicadin) is addictive....now I have experienced part of that. While I had no problem actually quitting it, I definitely experienced withdrawal symptoms. At first I just thought I was having a bad cold with muscle aches, fever, runny nose, and chills while getting use to no happy pill. After a couple of days I decided to check out the withdrawal symptoms online. I had no cold apparently but was going through withdrawal in all its undignified glory. I think the worse is over now....as long as I can handle the pain of physical therapy....
