Hi all,
I'm brand new here, although I have been lurking around these boards for quite some time, as I am bipolar. But the main problem is the prescription pill addictions. I have kicked xanax, ambien, quit drinking completely, but can't kick the pain pills. Most recently: Oxycodone. Well I haven't had any in 24 hours. I'm not feeling real happy, as there is a legitimate reason for me being prescribed these meds. But I just can't seem to take just what I'm prescribed, so I run out, and then try to get them from wherever I can. So now I've come clean about this to some family members (which I really had no choice of), and I'm trying to just stop. What do you do when there is pain, and you abuse the meds? It's like anxiety and abusing the meds. I've done that too. Luckily I finally found Lamictal, which helps a lot with the anxiety I've found. Anyway, I wish I could just take these pills as I am supposed to, but I don't know. Wish me luck. Great people here by the way.
