So heres the deal....
I have had back problems my entire life and have had 3 surgery's, mind you i'm only 20 years old. Anyway, after years of deal with intense pain i found out that i have myofacial pain syndrome. and i see a pain doctor who gives me
percocet, sadly this is the only thing i have found to help with my back pain and killer headaches.
i get 60 5mg pills a month and those never last me long, i find others ways to get them and usually take around 130 a month. i try to only take them at night but sometimes they are the only thing that can help me make it through the day. You have no idea how depressing all of this is. I had no intention of stop this only because it helps me so much and i don't feel im "addicted" only because i dont depend on them, and i don't take them to feel messed up, stickily for the pain. Anyway about a week ago i found out i was pregnant, and my fiance' insist that i stop taking pain pills at once, i have gone weeks without taking them before but the problem is i start feeling weird. nothing like what i have read how people feel when they have withdraws. Just weird, and all i think about when im in pain is taking them.
Im scared to go to a treatment place because i dont know if they can really help me to much with meds because im pregnant and i dont want to be labeled as an addict since i very much plan to take them again once i have the baby.
So i guess my questions are...
Will it really be sooo sooo horrible for the baby if i continue taking them?
how can i stop taking them and not feel weird without going to a treatment place or talking to anyone about it?
And any other insite you may have about this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton,
