Hi Cindi. I think its very possible that you are physically for sure
addicted to vicodin. I hope that ur not. But the reason for my visit
and my reply is I believe my aunt who I love very much was addicted to
vicodin but then that started not working so now she is on percacet. Not
sure if thats the correct spelling. I am soooooooooooooooo worried
about her. Not sure what to do. She is also on and addicted to I
believe anti depressants and drinks heavaly too. She is a mess. ANY
ADVICE i would greatly appreciate. From anyone really.
Thank you.
