Hydrocodone Addiction?
Question by : Hydrocodone Addiction?
I need help. I am addicted to hydrocodone and I am more than ready to quit. I know it’s not going to be easy, but I need advice on the best way to quit and what I can expect. I have been taking about 500 mg per day (50 10mg) for almost two years.
I have tried to cut back but that doesn’t work well for me. Because of that, I feel that cold turkey is probably the best thing for me. I have never gone longer than 8 to 12 hours without pills. At that amount of time, I begin to experience watery eyes, runny nose and yawning. I know it will get worse but don’t know what to expect.
Going to rehab is not an option for me. I am an executive married to a law professional and this cannot come out.

Do people really have addictive personalities?
Best answer:
Answer by tlbrown42000
There is a difference between physiological and psychological addiction. Both have their own reasons and most of the time both are involved at some level. Addictive personalities are those who use escapism and denial and repression to deal with stress. Alot of times they are emotionally sensitive so stress and anxiety is more painful and harder for them to deal with in the beginning. This is a vast and complicatied subject and one that medically is being expanded daily because its an area that was neglected for a long time. Considering the rate of addiction, I think that we have quite a way to go with this area.
