How Long Do Side Effects Of Vicodon Persist?
Follows.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
SWell looking into your query I will like to tell you that Vicodin contains acetaminophen and hydrocodone which is both effective and addictive also . Over time with its use patients develop a tolerance for the drug, and require more and more dose to achieve those same results.
It is going to take time to leave these drugs and reduce their dose which can vary from person to person , so cant tell how much time you will need for the same but may be 2-3 months will be required minimum. But yes if you take medical help in form of drugs prescribed to help you come out of this addiction leaving it will become smooth . Generally methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone and naloxone etc are used for the same. Alternatively , NSAIDS can also be used in conjunction.
Just have patience and reduce it very gradually , I think you will be able to overcome this addiction very soon.
Take care.

Keep on trying

Dear Sir,
Thank you for reverting back.
Well I can understand what you are going through but life has its own course and you never have to lose hope.and keep on trying continuously . And if you can reduce the dose from 7-8 tablets to 3 per day then you can achieve it . You just have to speak out your mind, seek help and keep on going.
