You know, it's weird really - I don't think I have a "dependency" it's moreso like a habit now. The recent shots worked so my pain is really tolerable now - it's just that my mind still thinks, well, it's time to go take my pill and chill out now. I am on a very low dose - three .5 lortabs daily so there really is no high I get anymore. It's just a weird mindset that I need to change. Maybe I just need to grab a handful of jelly beans instead! But I won't lie to you - I really did like the good buzz they once gave me as I am not a drinker, smoker or other drug user. The Ultram is a good idea though because there is off and on pain still - particularly since its on my right side and i am right handed using my hands and arms a lot with my artwork. Hmmmmmm...
I am curious to hear others success (or failure) stories of trying to get off meds - it really is hard isn't it?
