> I have to have a root canal. My dentist gave me Lortab...then more then more. I accepted it. Ive already been through detox for Vicodon and Valium...now I am increasing my doses and times per day. How can I stop this addiction circle? I love the feeling of being "high". I know it's not good but I can't STOP! I want to so bad. I tried not taking any all day but I threw up and felt like crap all day so I took 15mg a few minutes ago. Whats my problem is there a drug to stop me from being addicted to drugs??

I know how it is with opiods... I've never been addicted in the physical sense (the longest I've ever gone using without stopping is 5 days), but I have a strong psychological pull towards hydrocodone. I'm a big fan of oxy, codeine, etc. as well - but hydro was my first love. But yeah, dependance sucks. So... let's see, how long have you been doing the Lortabs? If you're getting them from your dentist, it probably has only been a few weeks? And if your taking 15 mg regularly, well that's a relatively small dose... so detoxing off this habit shouldn't be too terribly hard. Are you on an anti-depressant? I've found that SSRIs and the like tend to decrease drug-craving to a fairly large degree. And of course... there's always methadone.
