Hey, TempestMaster, and welcome to Psych Central and to the Bipolar forum!
Congrats on being drug free!
I take Hydocodone, too. I also take Tramadol and Tylenol. Hey, I have to get through the day and night. My doc tells me that pain makes depression worse--and of course, depression makes pain worse. Great! (I like sarcasm, too.)
I majored in psych and even went on to get the highest degree. I love it! (Never thought I'd be a case for the Abnormal Psych chapter, though.)
Since I am a liaison, I want to ask if you have found our military-related social group. Just think you might be interested. Here is the link:

Great to have you aboard!
