I would love for opinions from other addicts. i'm not trying to sugar coat this in anyway but i just dont think it's that much since i know alot of people that take up to 4 a day and snorting oxycodone makes my addcition look like nothing.I actually really want to quit i'm only 21 and i started taking these when my mom almost died i think the depression is the reason i wont stop,but is 2 lortabs a day really that bad???

I think that if you can stick to that low dose of only 2 a day, and it truly is helping you with your anxiety/ and or depression...than thats great, youve basically just successfully self medicated.

But, as soon as you start thinking about or wanting to increase the dose, even by one pill a say...I say Quit it alltogether. Thats a direct sign of tolerance, which leads to dependence, which can lead to addiction, its just not worth it.
You will end up being much more depressed than when you started.

If that happens, go to a doctor and he will possibly put you on some sort of anti-depressant(i personally have had ZERO luck with these types of drugs but many people have had alot of luck).....its worth a try.

Lortab won't help any "depression" from your mom "almost" dying. It doesn't mean anything to you that others are doing "4 a day" or snorting oxy. Unless you just want to be like them.%)
 
Since this thread is pretty self serving, and doesn't fit well within the scope of OD, I'm going to close it.

Tapering off of a low dose of hydrocodone is possible and you CAN do it! There is a thread specifically for tapering plans if you need any additional help.

Almost anything else IMO. Traditional antidepressants are a joke.
