Taking it when it is prescribed and how it is prescribed isn't abusing it. You don't need to suffer needlessly. Also, I read the hell out of those stupid pamphlets and make myself nuts worrying. And the pill getting wet won't hurt anything. I imagine it was a lortab or something similar? They are made to dissolve immediately, so it was going to dissolve in your stomach anyhow. I think you are going to be ok. Oh ya, and I've found when I ever take pain meds, it actually makes me more paranoid, so maybe that in itself is affecting you and making you worry more? I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you perpetuallysad Yeah it is painful. My husband knows about my addiction so he keeps my meds up for me. The doc put me on Vicodin 10/500 mgs. I don't know why i am so scared of medicine. I think it has to do with when I was 13-14 ys old, I had a life threaening reaction to Excederin Migraine. It has asprin naproxen and acetaminiphin in it. And I had an anaphlactic reaction to the asprin in it. Mabye that traumatized me a little when it comes to medicine. It does'nt help that the pain med is blue just like the excedrin was. I'm better now. About 30 minutes after taking it, I calmed down. I think it kicked in and made me calmer.
