I"M really going through it. I havent slept or ate in days. all because the addict i am i took all my pain pills in a week instead of two. how do i cope with the pain and also how do i control myself and just take the regular dose? you see some one od me on methanphetamines and i was in a coma and renal failure. i was out of it for over 40 days. i was in the hospital over 70 days alltogether. i was laying in my appartment for 3 days b4 i was found. so i suffered rhabdomyolosis. thats a breakdown of tissue and protiens thats what shut my kidny down. so i'm left with a paralizrd lower left leg that suffers extreme nerve pain. so not having the morphine is really difficult because i'm in pain and just started physical therapy. any way i'm just loooking for ideas on how i can be an addict but take my prescriptions as prescribed. any help would be appreciated. rick a suffering addict
Hey Rick,
Welcome to the board. Wow you really have had some bad things happen to you. That would be so scary to OD or have someone OD you.. Do you have anyone close to you that can hold your medications for you when you get another refill??? It sounds like you really need the meds but keep taking more than you should... Do you have any motrin or flu medication to help you right now? Hot bathes help a little and Immodium AD... I don't know what else to suggest other than having someone hold your pills and give them to you daily so you don't abuse them.... Write me back.. Rae

I am really sorry that you are going though so much. I am for sure of one thing that you are taking your frist step by asking for help and advise.I am also trying to stop taking norco.My husband and i both use it.By you being in pain always it makes it a bit harder because you need to keep taking your med.Have you talked to your doc or anyone elese?I am sure someone here on this message broad will have some good advise on things you might want to try.
Good luck and I will keep you in our prayers that everything goes well with you.
It has been the 2nd day for my husband and I had to give him 1 of the norco and 2 Motrin it has really been hard.I have to keep coming to this broad to read and to encouarge myself to keep helping my self and husband.

With your medical problems. I think you really need the pain meds - which a lot of us do but you have severe pain - I would put that ahead of chronic pain which is what I feel I have. if you tell your doctor you're an addict, would he write the scrpt where you could only get
(maybe 3 days worth at a time)
With my Arthritis and Fibromyalgia - I can take the e'day pain but the Fibro flare-ups put me to bed for 3-5 day and I hurt so bad, I can't even read or concentrate on TV, or sleep. During these flare-ups, if they would give me
maybe 5-7, I might could handle it, I don't know - scared to try. I don't know anywhere to buy them on the street. I have only one dortor/Rheumotologist who will prescribe pain pills and I have now called and told them to show on my chart that I'm an addict. That's the problem - when you're an addict and you have real pain - really bad pain - there's no answer.
I'm Jean, nice to meet you, day 11for me, WD's weren't as bad as I thought but I don't think I will ever have all of my energy back.
Good luck.
Let us know how it goes.

Hi Rick nice to meet you. I am going through the same thing. I get 90 vicodin ES's a month but they only last me about 2 weeks if I'm lucky. I have turned to this board and all these nice people for help and believe me you are in the right place. For the most part everyone here has been where you are or like me still struggling with my addiction. I am in the process of trying to taper down my dosage. We will see how it goes. Good luck and keep on talking it helps.
how i can be an addict but take my prescriptions as prescribed
Uhh....I tried really long and hard to do this one. To this day, I still haven't found out how to do this one yet.
Welcome to the board; that sounds like some scary stuff. But, I have to be totally honest here; as an addict it is almost impossible to ever go to "controlled use..."
sorry to hear about your physical problems....meth is bad bad stuff.
