A member asked:

I am coming off vicodin after being on it for 10 yrs for severe back pain & ms. on the thomas recipe am down to 1 pill. am scared of withdrawals at 0?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: If you are down to one vicodin per day it would be highly unlikely in my experience for you to have withdrawal symptoms by going from one to none. Your anxiety about it will probably cause more symptoms that stopping the med. This would be best supervised by your doctor however if you are scared about stopping.
