Dependency causes anxiety

[lucky]

Dependency is causing much anxiety in my life. I have been on 2 Narcotics for 6+ years. I take Norco 10's 4x a day and use a sch 2 pain patch.

My pain stays with me(5-6) but the side effects are horrendous from the Narcotics. I wish I could get rid of these beast in my life; I do not know if I could function without them from a pain and dependency standpoint.

What do you do for pain control? I already do the burnings on my facet nerves but this is temporary help if they hit the right spot and the burnings are really painful to endure.

One day I will have to check in to a facility to see if I can ween off these Narcotics. The thought scares me in more ways than one.

Just blabbing my thoughts.

100% agree. I am legal and do not take more than prescribed but my body needs these Narcotics in more ways than just pain now.

I also agree, pain causes the addiction.. I believe if one can control thier pain or at best lighten, then keep the narcs comming..

Lucky those pain patches were my worst enemy when i was on them yrs back. After the first box you are physically additced to them. I was a mess when gettting rid of them. never want to go through that again in my life.
