What If Your Partner

[BadChoices4Me]

Not sure what to do, My Partner quit druggs at the same time as me, I'm feeling ok 20 days into it, She is not. Major lower back pains, Here neck is stiff as a board, She tells me on Pain Scale 1-10 she is a 8 I dont know how to help. She has a major addictive personality, I do not want here to blow it, She went to the Doctor he prescribed Flexorill is this an addictive Drugg, or is that a stupid question? When she got home from Doc she went right to sleep all day, She woke for a little bit to go to bed, Her speach was slurred, she looked doped out, She then asked me to get her some excedrinPM ( I felt pissed off) You cant even keep your eyes open and you need something to go to sleep, What the hell.... Am I wrong for my feelings

  I think anything pretty much can be addictive if perceived to be.  How many did she take  before she went to sleep?  No, she should not have needed the excederinpm unless she was asking for the pain.?  Just watch her, she won't try to od on the flexeril will she.?  Do a search on the flexeril and see what you can find out about it.  I took it for awhile, didn't seem to help a whole lot but I hear some say it works well for them.  Yes, it should, could make her sleepy. I hope she won't try to abuse it, it could be dangerous.  She's lucky to have someone who cares so much.

no..ur feelings are ur feelings and u have the right to feel whatever u want to feel..even if u deny u feel this way/deep down u do anyway...flexeril is not habit forming and it will put u out for 12 hours or so...until u adjust to it and then the sleepy effect goes away..well not all the way but it will no longer knock me out for 12 hrs when i take it..which is rarely cos i hate feeling tired

20 days in she should be feeling a bit better..physical symptoms should be pretty much gone unless she was on methadone or suboxone..positive attitude means alot...meetings may help her but she may be grieving the loss of her pills/if u focus on feeling bad then u will feel bad.can u get her out for some exercise or a meeting?
