Hello,
My name is Mary and I have been addicted to valium and vicodin for over 22 years. I am presently withdrawing again and this time I am really afraid. I am 59 and worried that I will not make it this time. This time around I was taking 4-5 10mg of valium and 4-5 10/325 of hydrocodone. I am weaning myself off and am presently miserable. I am not certain about Suboxone and am afraid of getting addicted to it as well. Right now I am at 2 1/2 10 mg valium per day and 1 1/2 10/325 vicodin a day. Worried that I am going to fast..not sleeping and very upset with myself. I found this post as someone thought that I might try Suboxone to help me. After reading about it, it seems to be for opiate addiction only and not to aid in the withdrawals of valium. Could someone please help me with this. Does it help with valium withdrawal as well? I have been to treatment on numerous occasions but this time I HOPE that I mean it. I have never wanted to get serious like I do now. I am worried that I have damaged my brain and will never be employable again. Afraid that I will end up homeless. Currently afraid to drive and I cannot think..it is even hard to type this. I would love any thoughts that anyone might have. PLEASE! Thanks for reading and I hope to hear back from someone.

Mary
