Hello,lets take this one step at a time.First please try to relax,and look at the positive.There are many ways to detox,and or use a substitute withb no withdrawl.Yiu said a dr. prescribed,well are you still in pain,if so how will you treat the pain physical,emotional,etc.Why not address the situation with your dr. You are not the FIRST person to become dependant?addicted.The dr. is there to treat all of you ,not to Blame ,or be Blamed.Addiction is a consequence of prolonged use.The dr. would become addicted if he or she used for long enough.All the best John

What pain meds were you taking? It would help to know so we can give you the best advise possible. As for the beer you should just stop it for now as it will add to the w/d symptoms. The beer will also create a liver proble because most pain meds have acetaphetamine (tylenol) which mixed with alcoholwith cause liver damage.---Rick
