Fioricet Addicts

Anybody there?  Wanting to talk with someone about this horrible addiction.  Going to DR next week, any comments would be greatly appreciated!

I am in the same boat only my mind doesn't want to stop. I know that I'm going to destroy my life. Every day I think about buying heroin because the doctors in Canada aren't prescribing pain meds anymore because there's been a crackdown. It's all I think about. I don't care much about living any more if I can't get them. I HATE them I hate them I hate them but I want them even more. I badly broke my leg two years ago and it still hurts, but I know in my heart that I could likely live with the pain. I don't know what to do. How can you convince your mind? Sorry about the novel too!

Yes, unfortunately :(. I cannot get off of them without help- I've tried tapering myself as well as "cold turkey", which resulted in multiple seizures- despite being on seizure medication :( I am to the point that I take them to make me feel "normal".  Completely disastrous.  I need to get my life back, but I am so not looking forward to the long eternal process.  I cannot wait to find out what it will feel like to be myself again without consuming these pills every single day.  I am not a big person (approx. 5'7", 117lbs) & I average 20-30 pills a day & can still somehow function with people not knowing I have this dark secret.  Sorry for the novel.
