Doctors + Pain Killers

Date:
in: General

So it turns out that my Doctor is going on a 2 1/2 weeks holiday. And it just happens to be at the time when next government authority script is due. So I am having to see her on her last day, which is this Wednesday. But there is no way she will be able to get the authority script then as it will be like 2 weeks early. And there is also the fact that I have to discuss the fact that I now feel I am addicted to the 2 pain killers and how I am constantly having to take more and more just to get through a damn day and can’t sleep without them no matter how much I try.

I have been trying to skip doses and extend how long between doses myself however I start getting stomach cramps, going into sweats and getting massive headaches. I am starting to think I might have to look into a treatment plan which might involve having to spend a couple weeks (at least) in a rehab program (not something I really want to do) – but I might not have a choice in that if I want to get off this which I do.

I will make another post after I see my doctor on Wednesday with hopefully a plan of what we are going to do to get me off this fucking pain killers after going on 11 months now.
