[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474158, member: 12886"] Marg, that was a great post about the medications. I would wonder, if P is older, (and forgive the ignorance, i really dont know so am asking) Does it matter if she gets addicted as long as she gets the medications at this point? Maybe I am confusing dependency with addiction??? I am not saying we shouldn't care if she has an addiction and she suffers from that, I mean should they worry that she might get addicted at this point in her life? (oh, I am assuming she is older, maybe not though) I took oxycontin back before it was in the news because after a car accident I had a back injury. (I might be scared to now given people stealing it etc.) When I was ready to stop I just asked how to go off it. It took two months. I continued with pain so couldn't go without something and can't take anti inflammatory medications. (ultram now, works great for me)...anyway I do remember that if I was late for the doses of oxycontin it was very uncomfortable. I never got to a high dose but I guess I was on long enough my body didn't like being off it cold turkey. I can't imagine if I couldn't run myself and grab the medication. And I wasn't on much... poor woman. [/QUOTE]
