You are already physically dependent on them. The sweats and aches are withdrawal symptoms. It sounds as though you're just physically dependent and not addicted at this point. You can reduce the withdrawals by tapering off the medication. Try reducing doses or increasing the time between pills until you're off them. Opiates can cause pain after taking them for a while...so, you may be able to live without them. Only you can be the judge of that.
I started out like you. I am now taking 8 10mg lorcets to get high. Last night was my first night not on them and it was HELL. I feel that since you are only taking 2-3 maybe it would be easier to quit now rather then end up like me. Trust me it won't take long for ur tolerance to build up and you will need more to get that feeling.
