I have no personal experience to share - but if you're concerned about this, why not bring it up with your Dr?

Hi Dee, I'm actually taking a tad less than prescribed, but I fear addiction. I have an addictive personality (big surprise). Essentially everyone's concern right now (The doctor, surgeon, etc...) is pain management. I discussed with my Dr. when she gave it to me and she said she would put me on a taper schedule when I get through enough of the process of healing and therapy. I read a post yesterday from someone who said they went through horrible withdrawals from morphine, it was prescribed for pain management not recreational. This came from an alcoholic, and it worried me. Thus the reason for my OP.
