continued pain treated with lorcet. Am I addicted?

I was in an accident 10 years ago.  I was given darvocet, I never took them..  my sister in law told me they would really help out.  Well before I know it I was taking them and feeling better.I will never blame her for it.  It was my own doing.  I was getting everything and more done.  I was diagnised with Guillian barre there after put on another pain killer.  There after this is now 10 years I'm taking 4 Lorcet a day. Now I have pherifial neoropathy nerve damage, very painful from guillian barre.  

I need them for pain.  I also find myself taking them when I don't need them to get thru the day.  i will dream about them if I know I'm running low.  My doc now wants me to go see a therapist and lower my dose.  Or give me a pain patch.  I';m so scared//////

I have a disabled child.  I feel the only way to help her before and after school is to be energenic.  My daughter has aspergers this falls under the umbrella of Autism.  i saw a posting from I love my children.  My heart goes out to you.  I only have 1 child.  My heart goes out to all of you.  I'm so happy that I found this forum.  I will praying for all of you.

it is nice to hear from you.  I was reading some stuff in the forum and it really scared me.  What is all of the drama?  I'm sure one day i will want to get clean.  I really need to hear and have people.  REAL PEOPLE in the same situation, like you are....and me too!  I think onew day we will be on here and better.  It is so hard to admit that there is something wrong.  there is so much comfort talking to you.  I thought I was the only one out there, with these problems.  I really don't want to offend anyone I just need to talk.  Thanks for the e-mail, yes we will dtay in touch.  I rally enjoty talking with you.  Happy Day!

i CAN REALLY REALTE.  i HAVE TO HAVE MY PILLS....My daughter is now 16 and thank god is not into drugs but she hurts herself.  I'm also disabled with severe anxiety and depression....I wonder why?????????????

I am so scared when I pick her up frrom school.  If she has a bad day she will do terrible things to herself.  I have 1 child.  I don't even know how you do it.  If I doid not have my wonder pills I know I could never make it.  I really do suffer from sever pain, however on my good days they are my fix.  I'm taking between 4-6 tabs of 650 lorcet daily.  My stomache burns and I know that I'm hurting myself, I stopped before and suffered from headsaches.  i just don't ewant to stop anymore.  It really numbs reality.

God!  this is like a journal, the benefiyt it answers back..... I'm hear for you and I understand having a troubled child and needing the numb......

Thanks for the info.  You know.....I don't even want to stop.....I know in my heart that I do better with these pills.  I love to talk and read and find support here.  I will always write.  I'm just scared and not ready.  Counting my pills until the next refill.  It's so nice to open up and admit my problem, no one else has to know..I feel safe here.
