I had this same experience when I was on the hydrocodone. I was a totally blissed-out flower child. Very pleasant. I loved everybody, even bf's mom. I don't dare ever take that drug again.
(from Chrome's thread, but responding to my post about being addicted to pain meds)
WELL EVERYBODY, Red has taken some drastic steps here. My hands are sweating just thinking about it. Long story, short, I've been on some sort of hydrocodone - Lortab, Vicodin, whatever - for approx 5 months straight now. It just worked out that way & I didn't fight it. I DID have med conditions that warranted it "at times," however, didn't turn it away and kind of "made sure" I kept going while I could, if you know what I mean.
ANYWAY, I finally broke yesterday. Well, now that I'm being honest about it all, I pretty much had to, b/c I'm finally at the end here -- can't get anymore from anywhere and I am either going to go cold turkey or get some help. I chose GET SOME HELP and, however much it sucks, I may have to do the cold turkey thing, but at least I'll have some sort of help w/ it.
I actually went to my boss who has "strings" all over town and was able to get a number for some lady who is going to help me. He got her name from a doc he knows -- I don't have any idea who this lady is or what she does, something about being my mentor. All I care about is getting help.
Soooo, that's where I'm at.
