Can i tell me how i can not get addicted to vicodin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Addiction is a behavior pattern that is abnormal (stealing/having sex for/hurting someone, etc) because you crave the medication. Typically you will become tolerant and dependent to the medication first. To at least stop the tolerance and dependence i would suggest using the med on a as needed basis infrequently to ward regular usage.
