Hydrocodone is hard to get hold of, and the drug dealers want a fortune for the stuff. When we were moving my folks stuff out of their home(after mom passed away) the baby grand piano landed on my knee. I made those Vicodin last and last. I cut them in half....

You said -- "Hydrocodone is hard to get hold of, and the drug dealers want a fortune for the stuff. When we were moving my folks stuff out of their home(after mom passed away) the baby grand piano landed on my knee. I made those Vicodin last and last. I cut them in half...."

It is, that's for sure. My dad, when he broke his hip, he needed quite a few. He had a prescription for about 180 a month (the 7.5 mg one). That was quite a bit. That continued on for a while for him, but the doctor said that he had to be careful because of the DEA. They look over this stuff closely with the doctors, even if you have legitimate reasons.

And, for my other relative that I was talking about, I've helped her find sources online that have worked out well. Of course the DEA is shutting various ones down, "left and right" -- and you have some outifts which are crooked. So, it's not like going to a doctor's office. But, it works.

It is difficult to get doctors to continue to prescribe for an on-going condition. Usually they will do okay for one or two times, but that's about it. It's the on-going conditions which cause people to hunt around for some other way.
