Stacy: Yeah, I've had a broken leg for 2 years and I'm in constant pain. I have a high tolerance for pain so it's not like I need medication to get me through the day, but there are some nights when I have to crawl around my house on my hands and knees because I can't put any weight on my leg. I also have surgery every once in a while, so I need meds for that too.
Babanker: I'm allergic to Celebrex! It makes my stomach bleed. :p I live alone, so I don't have anyone to hold them for me, but sometimes my pain gets really bad so it will be enough for me knowing that I have to save them for those times. I know what you mean, though. Actually, my first reaction was to just enjoy them all at once and suffer later but I really do want to get off these meds, so I won't.
Hello, so do you have someone to hold those pills for you, or do you think you will be able to hold them on your own? Not to sound like a cynic, but if I had confest to my Dr. my addiction and he gave me 24 vics, I would look at it as though he was enabling me, and I would probably eat all of them in one day. Have you tried any non-narcs for pain, I use Celebrex, expensive, but great, hope this helps. Take care, BA
I see, but you never said, were you taking them in the first place for some kind of pain?
Sorry I must not have explained that well.
IBKleen and Stacy, I did not tell him I was abusing the meds, I told him that I had become physically hooked on them and had started taking them when I really didn't need to and didn't want to be taking them regularly. I still need them for the really bad days. My doctor is not a bad doctor. He actually has a policy that you can't call in for a prescription refill, he wants to see the patient before he gives them meds.
DOA, the hahah was more of a cynical hahah. It is VERY little, but that is what I wanted. Not enough to abuse but enough to get me through the bad days.
Thats 8 a month, how many were you doin a day ?? I was doin that in 2 days !!! Is that why you wrote ha ha cause your happy or you think that 24 pills is a joke ???
Well, she said she asked for something different, or way less of it; I guess he thought the latter would be appropriate for an ADDICT. What is wrong with doctors?
Wait--you told him you ere abusing the meds and he gave you a prescription? I don't understand....don't you want to stop?
