Hi Ethan. I was placed on Hydrocodone by my Dr. for a spinal problem, with chronic pain. Here is this little old lady realizing I'm in this mess. I am doing better. I have been working with a therapist for some months now and am so much better. I ended up needing to grieve every trauma I ignored all my life. I now understand the homeless much more and am coming to peace again. I worked very hard and did not give up on myself. this drug is dangerous and anyone still taking it is at risk for mental illness and of course, death.

Hi, @amazingteal - feeling like your life is really messed up is very hard. Making sure I understand you correctly ... you felt that your time on the hydrocodone 5mg X 4 daily for over 10 years, or getting off of them really made things difficult for you, or both?
