Okay I have been on high doses of pain pills for a year now and the dr said I will be on them for the rest of my life. I broke my back in a 4 wheeler accident. He also has me on muscle relaxors and when the dose isnt' working he bumps the dose up. I took myself off them for a couple of months because I didnt' have the money to get them and he told me how to get them cheaper!!! Seems he is tryig to get me addicted. I read another lady say she had no sypthoms of withdrawls I didn't when I took myself off of them after being on morphine and oxycodone several times a day. I was told its because my body needs them for the pain and when you take them for pain you dont' get addicted to them. I now have to take them at nighttime because I am pregnant and the pain is severe but my obgyn put me on one that is safe for the baby.

I have been on pain pills for almost 10 years now. It has consistently gotten worse and worse. I am now snorting 2 - 3 Oxycontin 80mg pills a day and on top of that snorting Xanax 2mg every day. I'm not going to go into all the detail on how I got started and such, because everybody here knows where I am coming from. I want to quit and I have to quit. I have lost everything I love due to my addiction...my wife, my kids, and have pawned everything else that meant something to me and lost it. I spend several hundred dollars a day on OC's and I can't take it anymore. I am scared to death. I don't know what to do. Every time I 'try' to quit...I feel like I am dying and I can't even move, talk, eat, drive, SLEEP...it is torture. If there is such thing as HELL...then this is it. Somebody...Anybody...Please help me...before it is too late...
