How to Overcome Prescription Drug Addiction?
Question by plzhelpimaddictedtovicodin: How to overcome prescription drug addiction?
I have been addicted to prescription pain pills for almost 2 years, and my husband has no idea. My question is how do I beat my addiction without him knowing what is happening? I love him and my family and do not want to hurt them by telling them I am an addict. I know I can overcome my addiction I just need to know what kind of withdrawl symptoms I will have and how long they will last. And if there is anything else I need to know that will make the withdrawls a lot less obvious or if there is anything over the counter that will help with the withdrawl symptoms I would be forever greatful to anyone who can help me

You would have to talk to your MD for a referral to a specialist for this or go to a rehab center for information and where you can be referred to. I hope you can get help soon because your health and family are st stake. Good luck.
Get professional help your local mental health hospitals have a list of places you can seek for help. You can go to narcon meeting which is similar to AA. Get all the support you can, and good luck to you. You can always go into a rehab center for help
chances are you have done permanent damage to your body, therefore the best way to quit is with alot of help from your dr.
My ex was an addict & he has done permanent damage to his brain, such as changing the amount of seritonin his body produces. So I strongly recommend getting major help.
Your withdrawl syptoms can include sweating, shaking, vomitting, moodiness & many other things.
Good luck to you & remember to be tough, it is going to be very hard.
go to a pain management doctor… explain the addiction.. the dr should wean you until you are the drugs completely… good luck hun
