Oh yeah forgot to add, the pain pills I'm on are Tromadol(sp?) For the last week I've been taking about 5 pain pills a day, not always that many but on most days it was. I don't want to go into a rehab, I just want to find a way to quit on my own.

I was in the same predicament, only I took a lot more pills a day than that. I found out that it was mainly because I went through a period where I was feeling empty, and the pain pills "filled me up " so to speak. It was as if I was "curing " my emotional pain with meds. Try getting to the bottom of what's really wrong, I don't think you are addicted to the pills itself, but rather the way it makes you feel emotionally? Sort of feeling an obscure sense of ease?
