Pain medication users Many moons ago I posted a thread looking for input. I have thought about this, and think perhaps it might be a good idea for those of us who need pain medication but do not abuse to have our own thread to post in. Here is my original post: As many of you know, I am on opiate pain medication. I have noticed quite a few people on the substance abuse board who are having to walk this fine line as well. Recently I stopped taking my codeine for a while to see if I could live without it and found that I was in pain that was controlling my life. I had to cut back on my working hours, and when not in school I was in bed. Pain medication, like many other medications, lowers my inhibitions. This is also something I need to be aware of during my day to day recovery. I guess I am just looking for input on the special issues that develop for those of us in recovery and on pain medications |
thank you! i think this is such an important topic & i am so glad there are others going thru' it too. :) (oh wait, that came out wrong - i am sorry any of you have to suffer pain! but you know what i mean - haha! i'm glad if we have to that we have each other for support. ;) ) |
