This is my concern; lately especially, I am so uncomfortable (in pain) that I am taking more hydrocodone.
My new doctor just called me in 100 pills (yesterday)- this should last me likely until February.
I am averaging (lately) 2 whole pills per day- I take half a tablet in the morning, half in the afternoon, and usually a whole one at dinner.
So I'm taking a total of 10 mg's a day.
They are each 5/500.
I am terrified to become addicted but I'm even more terrified to live in this agony.
How will I know if I'm addicted?
I have a father with a serious drug abuse history; pain killer's being one of them. I realize sometimes this can be a slippery slope.
Any thoughts?
* one thing I have done is given my meds to my husband so that he keeps count and keeps me accountable.*
Maybe I'm overly paranoid.
