Question by lilebaby: Prescription Pain Pill Addiction Help!?
So, I recently hurt my back and was prescribed Vicodin to help ease the pain. My precription is almost done and problem is , I kinda have built a dependency on the pills and get headaches and feel like crap if I dont take one. Is there anything I can do to help wean myself off the drugs? I find myself reaching for Tylenol or Advil now just to get rid of the headaches which only makes my head hurt worse the next day. I just feel like crap unless Im on them. Any advice guys?
