Addiction to Pain Killers… it must end and soon!?

Question by Tscotty33: Addiction to Pain Killers… it must end and soon!?
Well I have been on and off of pain killers for nearly 16 years now due to a messed up lower back and many surgeries to correct the problems. I was off of painkillers for a long time but last year I was starting to hurt again from my back. So exactly one year ago I started pain management and got back on them once again. This past December I had my 6th surgery and a fusion on L4 & L5. It’s been a slow recovery but so far I am making good progress.. but my addiction to Loritabs have gotten a hold on me.
I feel so bad for having this addiction because I am having to buy extra pills from other people because the two a day just wasn’t enough to get me through the day but now the pain is slowly easing off the pill taking has not.

So my plan is simple. Start backing down a half a pill every two weeks. I don’t take that many so a half should do the trick. Has anyone else ever done this? How successful where you? Do you still crave the “high” feeling from taking them?

Wish me luck guys.. this isn’t going to be very fun but its needed. It’s this or end up in a drug rehab center.
