I read the link you posted and found a lot of inaccuracies regarding drug classification, so I pretty much discounted most of the other info. It is true that meds ordered from overseas have a chance to get seized, but as I posted before I have never had difficulty with meds ordered through drs. in the U.S. on-line.
Was the ear-ringing attributed to the vicodin you were taking? I've found the opiate/opioid class to have few side-effects compared to 'other' psychotropic medication, but I do know the APAP in vicodin can cause liver damage in high amounts-and is the reason that a lot of docs prescribe norco- which is 10mg hydrocodone/500APAP. Were you able to find an effective med for your migraines? I have periods of migraines that seem to be a result of anxiety, and have found benzos helpful with treating the anxiety so that I don't get migraines as often.
I guess I take a 'whatever works' approach, and am fortunate enough to have found a shrink who feels the same. Obviously you must have felt out of control with taking vicodin when you sought help with de-tox, do you feel this is a class of drugs that you can never use without 'abusing' them?
take care, judy
