i have just recently admited to myself that i am addicted to pain medicines. i refuse to take anything stronger then a
percocet and i only take up to 40mg of whatever i can find a day, at the most. i tried to quit on my own last month. i really didnt go through major w/d but i was irritable. i stayed clean for about 2 weeks. if i dont have pain meds i am very tired and depressed. i thought that after the first week i would feel better but after the second week i couldnt take it anymore. i work and go to school full time so i have to have energy. i am afraid to go to a doctor because i dont want to trade my addiction for another i just want to feel good again with out taking drugs. i think my addiction is mostly psycological. what should i do? any advice would be great.
Thanks,
