Should I tell my doc I'm an addict? knipping opiate addiction in the bud

Yo before getting parents and friends involved just think it through a little more. The news of you doing hella pain killers may upset them or scare them into making irrational decisions. I say this because I have experienced what you are feeling/ going through now.

Only you know YOU the best so think it through and make a list of pros and cons or something.... Unless you think youre at the point were you think you must go to rehab. I'm glad my rents didn't ship me off somewhere I'm on suboxone now... Someone else said try tapering yourself down before you get yourself onto bupe if thats what you choose to do. Good luck
 
Did end up crushing and eating a few extra morphine, for oral morphine I got a really nice buzz. However, I don't see myself doing it again cause it was a pain in the ass to powder it.

However, I'm proud to report that I've taken the percocet exactly as prescribed. I'm really happy about that.

I'm not in any pain. No more crushing up the morphine, and keeping to the perc schedule, I think I'll be fine.
 
Ill be honest, I did take some percocet to catch a buzz last night before bed but I only took 1 (that's right, 1!) and it was still within the guidelines of my prescription (sleep is usually pretty painful too so I don't really feel that bad, I just wanted to have a comfy sleep for once).

So far, so good.
 
You just need to tell your doctor that you would like to taper down on your pain meds, and then only have them for when you really need them. He won't think you are a junky, he'll just think you are sick of taking them. which you are. so do that, and then you don't have anything on your file or any notes or flags and you can still get proper pain treatment later in life when you break something. Suboxone isn't a cure all, but it's good- in your case I don't think that's totally necessary so pass it up and do a taper off your meds, but keep your options open.
 
tapering takes some serious self control..i have been trying to taper off my meds for a year or so and have gone down some, but still using..i too am in pain and it is just about imposible to not take another 1 when the pain is unbearable..
Quit now because 1 becomes 2 becomes 4 and then 5 years later you hate yourself.and have a serious problem QUIT NOW b4 its too late...good luck Benny....PEACE to you
 
dont tell doctor. they are incredibly irrational about addiction even though they cause it everywhere with benzos and opiates. you would be totally cut off and have a hard time ever getting doctors to treat you fairly again once labeled a drug seeker.

just taper with the script or street drugs
