Hope, I just went through surgery to have my gallbladder removed. I had to be in pain and nausea for 3 weeks before the surgery could be done. My doctor's knew I was an addict. I did receive a script for Norco's and took them appropriately. Half of the script got thrown out after I was having little to no pain. I would have had my husband dole them out if needed but he was watching me and checking on me.
I was scared that I would relapse but I made it.
My doctor offered me suboxone treatment to stay off opiates. I didn't take him up on it BUT if I relapse one more time will consider it in the future.
