You need to get to your doctor right away and tell him exactly what you've told us here.You are in danger of an overdose Joe and I mean that.Take it from a recovering drug addicy of 25 years, I know you feel fine on your meds but you can accumulate the benzo's and with the narcotics your taking you stand a good chance to stop breathing in your sleep.This is very common when mixing benzo's and narcotics.Let us know how your doing,your far to young to have this sort of problem wrecking your life.....Dave

Drugs stay in your system for up to 72 hours. Even though you are still taking the doses hours apart there is still a danger. You should talk to your doctor immediately and follow directions for dosage.

Yes this pace is going to be a problem in the future. I had a problem like you, but since they were percribed to me I didnt feel I was doing anything wrong. I was 19 when I had my accident and I was able to lie to the doctors and pull pills out of them till I was 24. It took me five years to want to stop pills. So if you really think you should keep taking your pills for pain, go tell your doctor that 2 isnt enough for you and then he'll give you something stronger and better. If your telling the truth, the doctor should and will help you. But remember, the pain is going to be worse to get off those pills then what your pain is now. If I were you, I know I sound like an annoying parent But I'm only 25 and I already have been through rehab, so I feel like a loser and hope it dosent happen to you.

Basically anything that could give me a buzz, i'd take. I started with Vic's, then Darvo's, then Ultram (Thats the order my doc gave them to me). I'd always run out of them early and then get some from my mom, grandma, and friends. After years of doing this, they are so sick of me and knew that when i would talk to them or see them, I wanted pills. Eventually I would steal from my Mom who actually needed them. And I mean calling in refills and calling her doc to call in a script for her because she's to "sick" to get to the phone. Its sad to think that every time I was in a new home for any reason, I would first go to the medicine cabinet. So If you get bad into pills, thats what you have to look forword to. At the time I knew what an A-hole I was for doing all that stuff. But as long as I felt better, that was the only thing that counted.

I'm 41 and 25 years ago I was coming off my 3rd rt knee surgery.I was taking propoxyphene for the pain.I suddenly realized that these pills made me feel like a new man, I could talk to people and when I went back to work I could work as much overtime, all I had to do was pop a couple pills and I could tear through my work.Well a year later my back blew a disk.4 lower lumbar surgeries later my back is quite good but I don't want to give up the pills(I'm on demerol now).So I suck pills from the doctors,go to pain clinics and fool them into telling my doctors to give me narcotics for my back because there is nothing they can do.So I had it made except I was a total pig.I would get 180 50mg demerol tabs a month and have them gone in 2 1/2 days,I wouldn't even sleep for fear I may miss some of my buzz.I went to oxy's to morphine.By the time I did something about it 22 years had gone by.I was taking 3000mgs of morphine a day and spending thousands and thousands of $$ a year.Then I heard about methadone,now for me,it lifted my depression and helped with the actual pain that I was having.I've been on 400mgs a day for about 2 1/2 years now and I don't abuse narcotics anymore.I have a second chance here and I'm not going to blow it.I knew people that died from narcotics,I had a few close calls myself but now I'm my old self.So really take a look at what your doing and if you think or know there's a problem then talk to someone first........Good luck and be carefull once you take those pills theres nothing you can do until your next dose, if you make it......Dave
