i'm going to a pain clinic tomarrow for my first treatment. that's a whole other thing.

my problem is, my new dr. prescribed me vicodin, which i went through twice as fast as i should have. i'm starting to go through withdrawal, taking hot mineral baths, freaking out a little, because the doctor may see it. i really don't want to get kicked out of their program, but shouldn't i be honest about my condition?

i signed a legal document saying i've never been an addict, and i won't get pills from another doctor.i haven't been to another dr. and i really wanted to take only 3 a day, but i ran out day before yesterday.

should i ask my new dr. for a refill, too soon? i could say i tried to make my medicine last, but the pain was too intence? that's what happened.

i'm too tired to even go outside right now. i plan on resting, then the corner store to get some food.

I'd just tell the doctor the truth and take it from there... The docs are there to help you out i hope u r ok...

thanks, Ash, that's what they are for, but i don't want to look like a desparate addict, which is how i feel.

at least i can say i didn't get more pills and break my aggreement.

i may either be given nothing but herbal remedies, but i don't want to be a pill freak again.

Well if they resort to treating u like an addict then find a better doctor... no-one deserves being treated or spoken to in such a manner.
And you never broke your agreement... Have you looked into any kind of herbal remedies?

I've been getting tramadol prescribed to me on a regular basis for about 3 years, and only had a problem with getting them once.
if you fill your repeat prescription earlier than you should, then they will contact your doctor.
it's better to be honest with them if you're not actually just after the pills for recreational use, as ash said, they are there to help, and they understand how addictive these substances can be.
every time i go into hospital in need of morphine, there's always one asshole who treats me like an addict. it sucks.
what are you on vicodin for?
