[sean2424]

Hi,im new and i was looking for help and came accross this site.i read some things that i couldn't believe because i though i was the only one.i'll start by saying i have had something killing me in pain in my back from a teenager but didnt get mri's till last year or the year before.my back feels like glass all in it and if not on meds i cant walk.the paing is like waking up from a sugery with no meds.i got tried on many types of meds.i use to have to get shots at the er of musle relaxer and i forget the other but the other hurts your leg very bad because it's so strong.to shortin this up i finally got on lortabs  2 10mg a day for a year and went to 3 a day.the lortabs finally stop helping.i also have been on kolonapin for ever but i dont get enough that i need for my nerves so the lortabs helped with that.they got me on something called voltaren that kills my stomace but they have made a couple oppoinments to see a speacialist.he stoped the lortabs 10mg just like that and game me 60 5mg and im thinking wtf?im terrrified whats gonna happen when i run out of my few leftover 10 mg.i think i might be addicted but i dont know what addiction is.i stay ill and scream alot and depressed while taking it.im not who i use to be.i have been out of work for 5 years and no girlfriend for4 years because of work.do i have an addiction and if so can i get some help here from anyone on how to get through this?thank you soo much,im so scared cus im running out.

Yes it was 3 10 mg a day but he put me on voltaren because the lortab stop helping pain and the 5 mg 2 a day is just a 30 day supply something about so i dont have the shakes.i been takin lortab for atleast 2 years and im scared about what i might go through when im out.im always hard to understand being on med so im really sorry and thank you both for trying to help.

I'm a little lost too.  If you where taking 3 10MG a day over a month that's 90 pills.  Now the doctor stopped that strength and gave you half the dose (5MG) two times a day (assuming 60 pills was to last a month)?  With no explanation or reason?

So the doc switched you from 10mg to 5mg? Same meds? Do you take your meds as prescribed? Do you run out early? Do you abuse them? Only you can answer these questions.  I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out your post..
