Answer by Princesstalufa
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? Do you take more than you are supposed to? Why?) despite negative consequences, and you have become psychologically dependent on Norco (these are symptoms of addiction/drug abuse), then you should tell your doctor you want to discontinue the Norco, and he should (if he is a good, responsible, smart doctor) create a plan to wean you off your meds, and avoiding withdrawal symptoms. This should include prescribing you something like Suboxone, which is used for the same reasons as methadone is for heroin addiction. You should also go to counseling, and N.A. meetings, for support from other people.    Read more...
