Just had major surgery and now afraid i might get addicted to vicodin. how can i stop that from happening?

Vicodin: This really depends on what type of surgery you had. Typically there is a healing phase and as you heal the requirement for pain medication gets less and less. You should start using less of the vicodin.. Do not use the vicodin if you do not need it.
