Hey ok well if you have read my depression post then this might i dunno add to that i guess ok...well my finacee takes really really strong painkillers for his arthitis(if thats how u spell it) they are called co-codemal i think..now in the last 4 months since my last miscarriage ive been getting bad headaches so becouse nothing would take the pain away i was taking these pain killers i know i know your not meant to take other peoples prescriptions, but you wouldnt understand the pain i was in the doctor gave me a small dose of them but they didnt work nothing would. Anyway to get to the point now since that time away ive never stop taking them i find myself taking about 4-6 aday becouse they make me feel better and take me to a chillied out place my god it sound like a druggie here. I dont know what to do cause if i dont take them i honestly do get very bad headaches? any ideas cause really i think i have a tad problem with these?

Pain killers

well the headaches are a definite result of the pain killers. As your body becomes more dependent on a drug it starts to think that it needs that chemical/drug in order to function. You need to see a doctor and possibly a rehab center so you can get off of the drugs. It is not like you did anything bad, but your brain tells you, you need it, just like food. So go see a rehab center or rehab group (not sure what they are exactly).

I really think you should talk to a doctor before it gets worse. Rid of the problem now and find a solution while it's still early. I have a friend who had the same problem, she refused to accept the fact that her body was beginning to rely on the dosage and waited too long. She was severly sick for awhile after her withdrawal from it.
I also had a time when I was recovering from a flu. I began relying on Tylenol to rid of my fever and even weeks after my illness went away, I'd continue to have fevers that would result in worse symptoms if I didn't take Tylenol. I finally lessoned and lessoned until I stopped.
Good luck. -
yeah addictions are not pretty. I became addicted to creatine when I worked out, I just had to have or i could not do anything, finally I just stopped and I felt like crap for awhile but I am better off now that i did stop.

i want to see the docotor but im scared becouse of the fact they aint my tablets and the fact shes a family freind too scares the shit outta me
-
well unfortunately you are going to have to fess up to what you are doing. If she is truly a friend than she will help you and you will feel much better after.

-
Don't hate yourself for it, it happens to more people than you think. Whether it be accidental or not, it's good you realized before it got too serious.
-
