Default addicted to everything..mostly vics

I am a 30 year old female. I have been taking painkillers off and off for 1o years, mostly for recreation use. Well I finally got myself addicted. I went off, but it was hard. my addiction was so bad i WAS STEALING them. Well i have a back prob where i got prescribed vics. My back pain is getting better but i am lying so i can still get them. I hate myself. I have a 15 month old son. i am also on knlopin, which i seem to do okay on that. help me.

what is also messed up is I cannot go to any hospital where i live..they all know about me. I went to the hospital today, lied about getting a rx from my ortho docotor, she called my doc and refused to give me anything. The only person i was getting pills from was my ortho doc. My family doc knows im an addict. I just feel so deprssed and ashamed. What kind of a mom am i?

So you are in w/d and feeling bad.I know the feeling.I have been there many,many times.You are depressed,No desire to do anything,you feel hopeless and self esteem is completely gone.But if you could get your hands on some pills you would feel so much better.The only way out is to quit.I am sure you know that.Have you thought about talking to your Dr about getting some help with your addiction? Google the "Thomas recipe".If your Dr could prescribe you some Valium it will make your detox much easier.Even though he knows you are an addict he may still be willing to give you the Valium if you tell him about The Thomas Recipe. You could get through this in a short period of time and klonopin you have can help too.Since you are without vics a taper is out of the question and this addiction does not really warrant suboxone.I think you could do well on The Thom Rec. Your son deserves a real mommy.You can deal with your pain later.In the mean time get some chamomile tea,take lots of hot showers,immodium AD will help if you have any stomach problems valerian root will calm you down some too.

Being addict was too bad. Many says that once you've try using drugs you can't help your self to stop, so I'm glad to hear from many people here who survived from addiction and you who wants to change. You should think your son, try the suggestion of Robert it could help you.

Keep heading for the light. I got there (11 days off Hydrocodone) thanks to help from here and the use of the "Thomas Recipe".

Wishing you success,
Sue

Default thanks, but still using, just not vics

I have been vic 3 for 3 days, but i got drunk last night. Stupid decision. I still got somas Im taking off and on, which I dont know if it is a good or bad thing. I just feel flushed and nervous. Why can some people take painkillers and their fine, they can even enjoy the high, but not get addicted, and others cant take even 1 pill?

Hi shybaybe
Trust me if people are taking them to get high it WILL catch up with them.
The reason I wouldn't get drunk right now is because it will cloud your judgment and you might do something you will be sorry for,thats what happened to money-chick on her last relapse.hang in there your going to make it.
I really never liked the soma's so i wont be much help there...
Be strong and just get this behind you,so you can move on with your life...
Good luck to you...
Melinda

You don't take lyrica like that. That's the way we abuse opiates. You don't pop a bunch of lyrica like you would vics. You're going to totally screw yourself up doing this.

Go to your regular dr and do what he/she says. You don't get past addiction acting like an addict. You even admit you would be taking the vics if you could score some. You're just not using opiates, but you're still being an addict.

You're going to end up harming yourself if you continue doing what you're doing. The idea when you do this is to shoot straight with your dr, not scam them for lyrica. Not saying there is anything wrong with lyrica, I think it's a good medication. But you might as well be gobbling a bunch of opiates if you're going to do this with the lyrica.

Just go ahead and use some real drugs if that is what you want to do. Eventually maybe you'll get tired of it and make the decision to get clean if you don't kill yourself first. I will pray that doesn't happen. God bless.
