I was told it was considered dependence, not addiction, if a patient/person takes medication as prescribed...not for recreational use...when needed for chronic pain that after years of dosage tolerance and changes begins to get to a point where you've realized you've become dependent on a drug that used to help you function, but now either requires going to a stronger pain med or putting on the brakes and starting anew...
My codeine habut eventally grew into an1800mg/day habit but realistically, I didn't need the pills from probably a few days after the surgery. After that, it was all about recreational use. Now that I am clean, I feel the nerve damage and am more aware of the plates but they are at most uncomfortable, not really painful. So based on all of that, I'm guessing that maybe you've done something similar - although the steroid injections aren't something I experienced.
I am becoming somewhat frustrated with the way a lot of my colleagues practice medicine. Disenchanted, angry would be the other words that could be used. We all get ostensibly that same training and all of us are supposedly in it to help our patients. So, how come have I been getting so many letters lately on my addiction forum from desperate people unable to quit taking the tramadol pills that their own kind doctors have so freely prescribed for them?
a small amount can make a huge difference in terms of how you will react to it mentally. for us who abused recreational. taking 15 mg of Hydrocodone could give a user very good feelings and a good high. 20 mg could rock our world. when I first took Hydro's 5 mg would give me a 3 hours buzz. it wasn't long before I was taking 7.5 mg and then 10 mg at a time.and so on. right before I quit..I took 200-250 mg a day.....and could barely get high from it.
I recently (two weeks ago) had microscopic back surgery. Although the surgical procedure was successful, I believe I am now paying the BIG price for those "wonderful" little pills that "held me over" in the interim for the severe pre-op pain that I experienced as well as the short period of post-op pain that I endured. I was prescribed Tylenol#3, Lortab 7.5, Lortab 10 and Percocet and LOTS of it. I was legitimately in a GREAT deal of pain!
