Well, do you feel that you have a drug abuse problem? Do you take you medication to achieve adequate pain relief, or do you take it for other reasons? Has your doctor expressed concern about your medication usage? I am just wondering why you feel that you are an “addict”. If you truly feel that your life is becoming unmanageable because of drug-seeking behaviors, continuing to abuse your Norco (if you are even abusing it-how much are you supposed to take?
