Addicted to prescription pain-meds now.

Hi, Has anyone developed this problem and where can we get help for it???

I would start with my pcp or a call to the public health department. Best wishes.

Thank U

Hi Reeta, I would talk to the doc that is prescribing them. If it is your surgeon, maybe they can put you on a tapering dose so you can be comfortable and then eventually stop taking them. The important thing is to talk to the doc now so the problem doesn't get worse. Best of luck to you, Brenda

Brighton Hospital also has a wonderful out-patient program for this. Good luck!

That's tough. When was your surgrey? If you are back to work, your employer may have an Employee Assistance Program. God's Blessings to you.

Reeta!!! How you doin? I haven't seen you in a while. Call the surgeon and get a referral for help. They will point you in the right direction. BB
