Prescription Drug Abuse Support Group

It sounds like you may be at the very beginning of a future problem with addiction by making yourself believe you need the pain meds when you don't. Try taking them only when you feel pain and only if the pain is so bad you cannot tolerate it. Many of us have occasional muscle aches and pains especially as we get older but we just overlook them.

Do you run out of pain meds before your next prescription? Are you taking more then you should? If so, then you have a problem. If you are taking them as prescribed, then you have nothing to worry about.

I hope this helps with what little information I have on you. Let us know if anything changes.

God Bless and TC!

I take them as prescribed. But I have an illness that causes severe pain and im afriad of it. so I take the meds, even with out pain.

If the severe pain comes on suddenly, it may be best to keep the pain meds in your system but that's something your doctor should have told you. You should ask him about that just to make sure you and he are on the same page.

But as long as you are taking them as prescribed, you should be ok.

God Bless and TC!
