Well since I see the other person offered no sympathy I will add mine. I have never taken twenty a day but have taken five or six 10/500's. First of all if the pain is no longer there then yes there is the question of addiction. Two words here "dependance" and "addiction". If you are dependant on this drug for true pain then dependance is dependance. I depend on food to keep me alive, no difference should be made with this medication if you truly need it. But it seems you have come to the conclusion that you are abusing this substance on your own. This is a good thing. Telling you husband is up to you. My philosophy if you make it a big problem it will remain a big problem. The person you have to be honest with first is yourself and it seems you have come to this. Second the person you have to be honest with is you doctor. This will be the hard one. But if he is compasionate good if not talk around find out somehow a doctor that understands. My doctor suffers from cronic back pain as I do so it is easy for me to be honest with him. I tell him he has better
self control than I do. I tell him I usually run out early because I get upset and tell myself that I should not have to suffer. No matter the reason the DEA ( Drug Enforcement Agency ) is cracking down and watching doctors that prescribe more than the average of narcotics. You could find yourself tagged, like I am by the DEA. They are watching my doctor and myself. So be honest with him and seek his advice on how to come to grips with this very real problem in your life. If he turns into the back side of a donkeys anatomy seek another doctor that has compassion. I sympathize with you and I am with you on this. I suffer from
major depression , anxiety and cronic back pain. Do not make this problem larger than it is. Do not multiply it in your head. This is not your fault. You had true need of this medication and now you feel you do not need it but suffer like millions of others with the question of how to cope. Keep it simple and if you want to let you spouse in on it that is ok but I see no need of this because this will compound the problem in your head then you will feel watched by him no matter how much he wants to understand he will not because he has not been where you are right now.
