Welcome to SR...
Some doctors just don't know how addicting these drugs can be.
I was prescribed Tramadol for neuropathy (the dr told me it wasn't addicting; yeah right) Over the course of a year I developed a 40 pill (not daily) habit.
Try not to go off the drug cold Turkey. Call your doctor.
I really don't have any great words of wisdom for you because I am in the early stages of recovery.
I just wanted to welcome you to the boards; and remind you your not alone..
