Hey guys,
I just had a quick question. I used to be addicted to heroin which I quit about 8 years ago and have not touched it bar a couple relapses in the first 2 years of my recovery. I was in a pretty bad car crash recently that resulted in disc injuries to my neck and was given a prescription for 10mg Vicodins. I know taking these might not be a very good idea considering my past heroin addiction but the pain I'm going through is very unbearable. My question is considering my previous opiate addiction, what is a safe amount of days I could take the Vicodin before I experience physical withdrawals? I remember back when I relapsed on heroin during my early years in recovery, if I used dope for more than 2-3 days I would feel noticeable physical withdrawals. Can I expect the same from the Vicodins? I'm curious if I take maybe 20mg a day how long it would be before I experience any withdrawals. My neck is just really jacked up right now and I feel if I were to be on these for maybe a week, my neck would be in a better state but I'm deathly afraid of getting physical withdrawals again. Any insight or anyones previous experience in a situation like this would be very helpful. Thank you!
