I applaud you for making such an honest post. Here is my feeling on this subject. First you need to ask yourself "Why" you are taking narcotics. Is it truely for pain? Is it for the "feeling" you get when you take them? Are you increasing your ammount to acheive that "feeling or to knock out the pain? These are issues that Chronic pain patients deal with on a day to day basis. You have every right NOT to suffer with pain. If that is your goal, than I don't feel you have a problem with narcotics...you have a problem with your doctor. If you are seriously in that much pain that it is necessary to use "several" OP's, than maybe you should inquire about a Pain Management Specialist. There are other ways to control your pain without having to pop that many pills per day. Now that also brings us to a problem MOST of us have. There are not that many PM Docs around that understand the need of a patient with chronic pain. Only you really know yourself and you are the only one that can make that decision, but don't forget...you have the right to find relief from your pain and don't beat yourself up about that.
JMHO...
Good luck and God Bless,
Mad
ETA: I just wanted to say that chronic pain patients deal with this Addictive vs. Dependance issue all of the time. It is an unavoidable situation. If you take narcotics on a regular basis....your body gets used to it, therefore to achieve the desired result, you must take more. If you NEED these meds to function, then why should you be labeled an addict?
