Does pain killer addiction cause relationships to break up or become extremely difficult?
I am watching a court show where couple was divorced and the guy had a couple of addictions behind him in his past..It reminded me of an ex boyfriend of mine who had a habit of popping painkillers..At first I didn't know this about him until maybe almost a year into the relationship. And then when we were broken up for some time I got to find out that it was a heavy habit of his, not sure if it was always like that or if it progressed into something worse.I think about it because I'd wonder, how many of those fights that we had were caused because of the pain killers. He would pop them when we were together and I wouldn't have a clue.Many of our fights were from him being spacey or asking me the same thing twice, or because he would forget what I said.. Half the time he would be playing video games too though.. But I swear I couldn't even tell that he was high on anything, I just thought maybe he was dumb or something? And then of course we would fight about that.. He would pick up and leave, pack his things but then come back.. I thought it was just me sometimes, I thought maybe I was just a difficult person to live with..But then when he went back home I noticed he would get into some fights with his parents, probably because of irritability. It seemed like irritability. His parents were such calm and nice people, I couldn't see how they could be getting into such fights where he would get kicked out..So my question is, to what extent does taking nonprescription painkillers affect your relationships?His other addictions were cigarettes and energy drinks. They're almost seemingly harmless but potentially dangerous habits?Is it just me or is it impossible to have a relationship in those circumstances

In regards to pain killer addiction?
One of my patients asked me how do you know when you are addicted to pain killers and or benzodiazepines. How long does it take to become addicted. I need to take a course in addictions but honestly have not. Personal experiences would be helpful as well as allopathic methods of eliminating the addiction.I don t deal with addiction at all. I work in a critical care environment. A patient asked me a simple question. I could have given the same answer as you. I wanted to hear from people who have been that situation. I am not a Vet, an RN, no courses in Addiction. Hopefully no more cynical answers

One of my co workers has been taking Morphine and other pain medicine for about four or so months. The individual had recieved back surgery awhile back. The individual can not stay concious at work, losing weight, and this morning called in complaining of uncontrolable bowel movements. Now, here is why we think there is a serious problem one min the individual will be fine and laughing and as soon as a doc is on the phone his voice changes whiny and pain like... then after the phone call is complete he is back to laughing and joking. This was just giving you all a little insight. Reguardless we think the guy has a problem. Is the shakes, passing out, and uncontrolable bowel movements a sign of overdosing?

I realize how much it has affected my life and want to stop but cannot overcome the sickness. I have lost alot of weight,sleep,and become depressed... and when I do not have anything I feel really sick, used to be against any drug expect marijuana now not even getting that due to my addiction, sadly not that it is any better but in a way yes, never had withdrawal from such. I am utterly depressed, skinny, and sick. I dont want to do anything drug related anymore but not sure how or what do do to resolve the problem. I have no money due to my addiction and no insurance. Any healthy suggestions appreciated...if your going to be mean please dont bother as I've considered attempted suicide two times this month alone. I am to the point of having no friends, no appreciation, nothing. I have gotten to the 1st step of realizing I have a problem and I know im not alone but I am 25 years old and have nothing to show for it. Please, I am begging for help. I am about to get kicked out of my house and be on the street, have place to live, no transporation, etc. I am lost. I cannot do this much longer.

Pain killers addiction?
Two years ago I had a bike accident, I had suffered from a broken leg and fracture ankle. I was in the hospital for 1 month with a broken leg waiting for surgery. Now I have a pain killer addiction and I think the hospital is the blame for it. The hospital was feeding to my body, one shot of demerol every four hours and two percocets every four hours also. So every two hours I would get pain medication. Now Im really addicted to them and I think the hospital is the blame for it. Does anyone think I can sue the hospital for the suffering that Im going through? I really feel like they didnt not give me so many, if I would of known that they will get me addicted, I would of ask them not to give me all those drugs in a short period of time.ThanksI really feel that they went over the dosage, I didnt know nothing about pain killers, if I would of known. I would of just taken the pills every 6 hours or so. I really feel that I was given more then what I needed.

I have chronic pain and can't figure it out. Am I doomed to a life of suffering vs. pain-killer addiction?
I work 40 50 hours a week and also go to school full time. My schooling is online, so it's easier to juggle my home life and still taking care of my mommy and wife duties. My husband works about 50 60 hours a week and does hard labor, so he's exhausted by the time he comes home. So cooking, cleaning, shopping, and caring for our toddler is pretty much up to me. I have recently developed this pain in my shoulder, knees, and back. My right arm falls asleep daily and when it's not numb, it's aching so badly I can't hardly move it. The pain shoots down my arm and my shoulder pops every millimeter I move it. Sometimes spasms when it gets really bad, but this usually only lasts a couple of days and then goes away. It is so puzzling. I'm a property manager by day, and have apartments and retail spaces I manage, so I'm on my feet and moving around a lot... but also working on the computer a lot. Either way, I don't think my job is physically grueling so I just don't understand this pain. My knees pop and ache so badly. My left one swells up about 1 2 it's regular size sometimes. I literally cannot put weight on my left knee when standing up from a squat. It's gotten so badly I struggle tying my son's shoes in the morning. I feel like a failure as a mother and wife. I struggle to put dishes away in the bottom cupboards. I just hurt so badly. My lower back pain is to the point that I toss and turn through the night because it shoots up and down my spine and outwards toward my sides. My back gives out sometimes when bending over to pick something up usually a toy my son left on the floor... so nothing crazy heavy . It spasms sometimes but for the most part just aches constantly. I'm not overweight, I have a slim physique although I don't work out. I'm 5'9" at 135 lbs. I am not very strong, but then again, I can carry my 48 lb. toddler through the grocery store if I need to. I have been to COUNTLESS specialists, massage therapy, general practicioners, and I even tried wearing flat shoes and carring a smaller purse... but nothing helps. The sad thing is, I'm 22 years old and have never had any health problems nor a family with a history of illness. Is this normal? I mean, do people commonly have so many discomforts that it immobilizes their activities. The only thing that has helped are pain medications, specifically vicodin and percocet... but I don't like the feeling of the narcotics. Percocet made me feel stoned and I can't focus and the vicodin lightly dulled the pain and made me feel sick to my stomach. My doc prescribed 30 of the percocet about 4 months ago, and when that ran out he gave me 30 vicodin. My vicodin ran out about 2 weeks ago and I'm acutely aware of every square inch of my body that's in pain. The only thing that seems to work is the pain medication but I don't want to feel like a junkie and keep going back for a " bandage" to my pain problem. I haven't returned to the doctor, but think I probably should. My health insurance sucks and co pays are through the roof. I just hate going back and everytime they say... " rest, stay off your feet, just relax" but I live in the real world with real responsibilites that I can't just lay around on my couch all day. That's not going to happen. Any advice or feedback would be so much appreciated.

Pain-killers addiction?
I am addicted to pain killers and everyday I promise myself to take less and to try to get through the day but I am unable to do this. Nobody knows that I take these pills but without them my body hurts and I cannot function. I am too young to be doing this and was wondering if anyone else can relate to me and perhaps advise. Thank you. Cherie
