I guess i'm lucky in that Xanax & Klonopin don't make me feel "mellow" or "high'--just sleepy!!

So I'm not tempted to take them during the day (though the pdoc says I can if need be--only had to do that once every 6 mos. or so).

But, I could see how I could get hooked on Vicodeine (sp?). I've had 2 knee surgeries & 1 foot surgery that required Vicodeine. But once I got the info. that getting hooked on that to give you "joy" your brain shuts off that aspect & you need the drug to feel the "joy." I have little enough "natural" joy so I don't want to destroy what little capabilities my brain has!! I guess getting hooked on Vicodeine could destroy that whole part of my brain & deprive me of being able to feel "joy" naturally. Scary!!--Suzy
