There is a fantastic drug called subutex that lets you quit vicodin with none of the bad side effects of withdrawl. SUBUTEX,
taking too much medication and a combination and mess up your brain chemistry, if you cant live without and you feel like you can't act "okay" with out it, then maybe its not a good idea, and you should tell a doctor also. But if you have anxiety, or depression and so on i recommend meditation, it really calms, and relaxes you, i have been doing it steady for a couple months now, and slowly with each day my fears and trouble don't matter anymore.
Go online and read 'The Ashton Manual' (maybe Asheton..?). It's by a professor of pharmacology in Britain. My personal opinion is that these types of meds are WAY over-prescribed; it's an easy band-aid instead of a proper solution to the issues. Unless you're a danger to yourself or others, then you probably don't "need" these harmful drugs, could most likely benefit far more from some cognitive behavioral therapy and some good self-help psychology to understand both what's causing your difficulties, and how to train your mind to recognise the joy in your life and not be attached to negative thought cycles. Buddhism has some answers; use your library! And good luck; it's physically challenging to break anxiety meds. Is it Ativan (lorazepam)? It takes time, but it's definitely possible!
First of all, disregard just about all of your answers. If you are taking these without legal prescriptions from your doctor you are headed for very big trouble. You are asking about the interactions between several different pills. The answers you are getting are not from trained professionals. Some combinations of antidepression and pain pills are worse than others. Those people who are offering all this advice, are they also doing blood tests such as CBC's and Chem 7's to determine if your liver and kidney are functioning properly.
The best thing that you can do it to talk to a doctor familiar with these pills. There is nothing worse than ending up on a transplant list and waiting for a donor to die so you might live, especially when it could all be prevented with several blood tests.
If you are scared and can't talk to your parents please go to a public clinic where they can help you and still hide your ID.
