Hydrocodone Addiction
By Maryann Morrison


Hydrocodone addiction is now a growing crisis all around the world. While the truth about illegal drugs such as methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and marijuana remain ever famous, it may be surprising for some to know that hydrocodone addiction gently lurks right behind them to be one of the newest and most widely abused addiction drugs. As a matter of fact, it is believed that hydrocodone might be the most abused prescription drug in the United States. The number of people addicted to hydrocodone has quadrupled in the last decade, while the number of patients that needed to be admitted in emergency rooms surged by 500 percent.

Subject: Norco

I have been taking 10Mg Norco tablets for almost 7 years. I have had many surgeries which was how I began abusing them. Colon Cancer, 4 back Surgeries, 5 Knee surgeries, Carpal tunnel surgery in both hands and more! I began taking the medication simply because I hurt, but it has taken over a big part of my life now. My wife and family have no idea of this addiction, but now I have to quit. I tried getting a prescription from my DR. and his office called back and told me they knew I already had a prescription from my spine DR. he now knows I tried to add to what he was prescribing and since I signed an agreement not to do that, He will no longer prescribe these to me. I am really scared about the withdrawl symptoms because I have many projects and much travel coming up in the next couple of weeks. Is there a discreet way I can get help that anyone knows? I can't believe I wrote this, but I really want to get this monkey off my back. I think maybe the call to my Dr. may end up saving my life and career, but not if I am sick while working with my team.
