Hi Debbie, Was just curious, I take Vicodin 7.5's about three times a a day, how often do you take the oxycotin and percocet? I'm telling you I have tried to fight it and the pain hurts so bad that I'm in tears. I don't think its an addiction, I think that I haven't found the right doctor to treat my pain. It's so frustrating. Thanks for the advice.
