Help someone!! My husband is trying to stop his pain pill addiction that he has had for 3 or 4 years.?
Friday 4.9.2007 he started going through withdrawls. I can't stand to see him like that. He has to go through this to get off of the pills. It didn't take him long to break and get more. His addiction has gotten so bad that I have to go and get his check on Friday's. I don't mind and I do see this as a change for the better. How can't I cope with this without throwing up my hands. I know it is an addiction and he has to handle this himself but, please realise I didn't ask to be put in the middle of it all either. I do love him and I am trying to help but, I also have a family besides him to care for. 2 girls When I try my hardest seems that is when he is his worst. any tips? anyone?4.13.2007 he is to have surgery fusion in his neck He told me that he is goibg to cut back sloely because he is tired of depending on them and he hates that he let this happen. though it is alot of hot air because he has lied so much I never know what is truth and what is a lie. He gave me his pills so I could give him 4 a day as perscribed not 7 to 10 like he takes. Yesterday morning I gave him his 4 for the day because he asked and I said " don't ask for more tonight. Well he called me at work yesterday afternoon and told me to bring him 8 more and I told him no and he started yelling at me and said either bring me 8 or the whole bottle. After thinking I took the whole bottle and threw it at him and told him " I am through with this and am over the whole situation. I know he needs my help but truely what has he done for me? If his pay check hits his hands on Friday it is gone before he gets home.

Does anyone know what the actual side effects of methadone treatment for pain pill addiction are?
My boyfriend has been taking methadone for pain pill addiction since Nov 2007. He has transfered clinics and I am glad he has because the first clinic was a joke they gave you as much as you wanted even if you would fail the drug tests. This new clinic as far as he tells it won't allow you to go over a certain dose and you can't keep failing the drug tests. What I am wondering is does anyone know if methodone makes people go go go and then crash or make people believe that everyone is against them and very irritable? Sometimes I feel like I am walking on eggshells anytime I open my mouth. Please does anyone have any insight?

I have got to the the point where i am sick of taking pills, tired of not being able to go anywhere without a few in my pocket. I am not a Junkie just a regular guy no one knows how much i take or can notice a difference in my person when i am on them. The problem is i am tired of taking pills when i am not in pain just to avoid getting sick. Dr tells me it is ok to be physically dependent but i want to just get back to taking a pill when it becomes unbearable to move. the long lasting pills i take each day are great i stay at about a four on a scale of 1 10 in pain but i hate being controlled by a pill.

What do I do when my mother is suffering pain pill addiction?
It happens every month. And a little over a month ago I witnessed her overdose and bounce back without any medical rehabilitation. She gave our family an ultimatum and we chose her over rehab. I think we should have chose rehab after all but it happened again yesterday. My dad acts like he's going to do something but he says it's all about the peace. What do I do when my father is too blind to see that enough is enough? Seek help elsewhere? He's become her bitch every time and I'm sick and embarrassed of it.

How can I help my mom's pain pill addiction?
She has been addicted to pills ever since she has been with her boyfriend who she has been going with for 5 years. Her pain started when she broke her back, and his pain happened from a car accident. I know they became addicted quickly he may have already been and it has only been getting worse since then. She will take pills before she drives me to school, while she's at work will go into detail later , and when she gets home. In total, she will take pills 7 times a day, at minimum. She is a " functioning drug addict." She works at an office job, making fairly decent money. My step dad works too, just not as a job as nice. How does she keep up with stuff? She is not aware that I know, because it has only gotten to the point now that I know she needs help. She does not act normal and is always tired, and she also has a lot of trouble with sleeping through the night. I want to talk to her, and I need to know what to say. I want to help her get help and convince her that she needs help.Duude, go fuck yourself seriously. Worthless asshole. You have no clue how much pain I'm in.I am sorry I forgot to mention one of the most important parts... they legally get roxicodone and oxycodone only 15 mg's and illegally oxycodone 30mg and 100mg morphine

Pain pill addiction..?
Well, for starters, I'm a 17 year old male and I've been taking pain pills for recreational use for a couple months. I take whatever I can get, percocet, vicodin, oxycodone, etc...I dont think it's much of a problem, but I'm starting to think that I NEED them or my day will be horrible. Last night I snorted 2 vicodin 10's and today I took a oxycodone 10 at my girlfriends house. I've been shaking all day, and I don't understand why... I was wondering if anyone knew any good ways I could quit doing these pills, It's starting to take over my life...I'm failing school because of it and stuff. I dont want my parents to find out... Thanks.
