I had been on Norco since July for many different conditions that were very painful. I have been coming off of them for 3 days and my suicidal thoughts have escalated. Now, at first I didn't connect the two, but I went to my psychiatrist and he asked me some questions like do I have the chills, are my muscles spasming, etc. all of which I had. He said, you don't need me to change your meds, you need me to help you detox! I was like, WHAT? I'm not a druggie (sorry if I offend. I couldn't think of another word). I don't want to be on the Norco! He said that I am not a druggie. He said that a lot of people get hooked on painkillers and don't even know that they are hooked. AHA!

I wanted to post this here because I was afraid that I was going to end up in the mental hospital, which could still happen if these meds I am on now don't drown out the SUI thoughts! Let's hope not!

I, also, wanted others to know that getting hooked on a pain killer seems to be pretty normal if on it too long. If you are coming off of it, DON'T DO IT ALONE!!! You can get help! I wish I would have known about this before I tried to ween myself off of it! Trust me...I KNOW!!!
