I read your post. At that level you should be feeling something; cold sweats, fluey, etc. I have a great deal of expearence with drugs and can not explain except to say you could be that one in a million who is somewhat immune to the drug. Might not conntinue that way. Could change overnight. I once knew a woman when she took cocain she fell asleep...strange since that drug wires you. So go with it if you feel lucky, otherwise there is little to gain in tempting the Gods. They tend to reverse judgement in a heartbeat.
So I am not sure if I am addicted, which I dont think I am, or if its just because I have taken them for so long, 4 years that my body is dependant upon them. I don't feel a craving for them when I am out. I mean I do not go crazy because I can not take a pill. Yes I may get irritated when the pain is so unbearable that I can not stand it but I manage to work my way through it. I have never taken asprin before, and during that 2 weeks that I was out I started to take bayer back and body. Oh man don't do that! It tore my stomache up something bad. Im telling you I couldnt eat or drink anything without throwing up thats how bad it upset my stomach.
So in a way we are the same. I don't have any answers for you, I just thought I would share my experience to let you know that you are not alone. If you would ever like to talk about it you can reach me at my screen name at yahoo.com. Take care and have a happy new year!!
