How do you know if you are addicted to pain meds? I have taken so many
different pain medications, over the past nearly four years, I don't think
they work for me anymore I am currently taking, Percocet 5/375mg or Vicodin
7.5/750mg 4 X daily, Lyrica 800mg, Fentanyl patch 125mcg every three days.
After taking all this pain medicine, I still have excruciating pain in my
hands, legs and feet. As long as I've been taking these drugs, I have
never had the feeling of euphoria or being "high." My pain just increase, if I
don't take my medicine on time. I experience blurred vision, sleepiness,
lack of concentration and memory; and the fact that I have recently had my
Baclofen pump turned off, and now take oral Baclofen four times a day, does
not help the situation any. I have never tried to wane myself off the
medicine, in fear of the pain I may experience from not taking it.
I hear of people being addicted to painkillers, does that mean that they
are getting a high from taking it, or that they can't stop taking it because
of their pain?
