Lillian, It sounds like that guy was a quack! I have been on Vicoden ES, 750mg, for three years now almost...I take one and a half in the morning, one after lunch and another at night. That is IF I have bad pain (which I usually do) but if I'm not in too much pain, I don't take any after the ones in the morning. My GP was so worried about prescribing them for so long, he was concerned the DEA would review my file and get on him, so he sent me to a pain management guy who didn't want me on Vicodin and gave me Morphine and Duragesic which in my opinion were way too much for me. My surgeon at UCLA said he'd rather me be on Vicodin till the day I die than open me up again just to stop the pain temporarily. If I were you, I'd try to go to another pain management doctor, one who is willing to help you. Love and Hugs, Lesa
