When u say your Dr did "research" on your pill history...I didn't know that was possible. I've been called on it too and it's very very embarassing. I have a story for you. One time i was so desperate for Lortab that I actually stained my arm with lipstick so that it looked like a burn and the Dr. called me on it. I felt like such a loser. Today though is the 1st day of the rest of my life--SOBER that is.

I think many of us have legitimate chronic pain issues which is why it was so easy to justify taking the pain meds even though many of us eventually started to abuse them.  Don't know at what point I became an addict but it sure creeps up on one and kicks you in the ***! Have you tried other meds or PT or accupunture or even 800 of Ibuprofen to relieve your symptoms.  It is medical fact that your body builds up a tolerance to narcotics and they do not work as effectively after a period of time.  I have bad days where the pain overwhelms me but I know I will get sucked back into addiction every time I put a pill into my mouth! You are very lucky that you are not an addict because that is a long time to be on narcotic medications.  Just beware of the Tramadol, from what others have said here, they are just as addicting as hydro!
Good Luck!

ok guy's..slept great last night thank god!!! mild knee aches today so this is day 3 with no hydro's and i actually feel great...it's weird..maybe i just like not feeling dependent or something..you know the mind over matter thing does work..and you've got to wanna quit..I smoked from age 16 to 25 and quit cold turkey..just got mad one day and havent picked one up since nor do i want one..I think im doing the same with the hydro's..even though i know on the 16th i will get 100 10-500 i will probably put them away for SERIOUS HEADACHES ONLY..I actually am not even looking forward to getting them like i was because i dont wanna go through that pain again...my dr said yesterday that withdrawal symptoms are different for everyone ...depends on age, weight, and dosage one was used to taking...me being 6ft 185 pounds and take lots of vitamins healthy other than the neck ..he said my body probably just metabolized it out fast..hmmmm I hope so also i only took 4 a day and never more than 1 1/2 at a time...any way I feel better today and still in good spirits..I Hope some of this info inspires more people...also took one tramadol this morning for the knee aches..it helped..and i have a massage today..wooohoo
