MS Contin - How many 30mg tablets should be taken at a time and how often? (continued below)?

sometimes you don't want your 'significant other" to know that you are abusing the meds,cuz it takes more and more to control the pain,you're too ashamed to say anything to him/her,you just hate yourself more and more,depression and pain escalate so you take even more,you start wondering if maybe the next time you get a full bottle if you took it all could it kill you?cuz you've tried to quit cold turkey,tried tapering down,and you're too much of a wimp to do it,you just feel worse and worse,more and more ashamed,but you're afraid if you ask your dr for help he'll jiust stop giving you anything,and your husband just doesn;t want to hear about it just shut up about your supposed pain "you think you're in" anymore,cuz he never even needs aspirin,never had surgery,or broke a bone,so why don't i just shut up about it already???

There is so much guilt and shame involved if she has become addicted. I am sure the pain is real. If you do talk to her becareful not to act like you are accusing her, try to be understanding and put yourself in her shoes. No one knows what it feel like to have chronic pain unless you have been there yourself. If she has become addicted she probably feels like it is her fault when all along all she probably wants is a day without pain... and this is what it has turned into, then to top it off she is still in pain.
