> I totally agree with everything you say about benzos, AD's , etc. I wonder why we are so afraid of pain meds? And is Lunesta considered an opiod? I've been on tylenol #3 for my facial surgery. I've been on it about l0days. When complications set in I was told I could continue it [after first 3days], and I've been taking it at night to help me sleep along with the l0mg of valium. I'm so worried about my surgery that I want to insure a good nights sleep so my body can heal. Do you think I am becoming addicted? I admit I'm scared of pain meds and this is the first time I've ever taken any. Is codeine hard to stop? Fondly, Phillipa
Hi Phillipa-
I think we were referring to the original poster of this thread whose board name is "Lunesta" - not the drug. But as far as becoming addicted to codeine - it's hard to say really from just knowing you through this board. You can become mentally dependant on it - thinking you won't sleep or won't feel good without it, etc. Just something you have to monitor. WHen all else fails, talk to your doc or therapist about how you're feeling. Have you had trouble in the past abusing meds? or other drugs?
Hope you are well...
Jerry
