My husband is frustrated with trying to help me. He forced me to call a residential treatment/rehab type center last week. I was told I would have to be there for 90 days. There is nooooooooo way I would leave my 6 year old daughter for 90 days. I’ve got to do this on my own. I have been taking Norco since February. My doctor prescribed me 10 a day, but I always take more. Before the Norco I was taking Vicodin for about 7 years. I am taking these meds for chronic migraines. It seems to be the only type of meds that work for me. I didn’t take any while I was pregnant. I didn’t have any migraines during my pregancy, which seems to me that they are caused by changes in my hormone levels. I used to take the vicodin at the first sign of a headache, then I began to abuse the meds, taking them more in a preventative way. I would take a couple when I woke up in the morning to give me a pick-me-up. It always seemed to improve my mood and my energy. Then my body needed more to do the same thing with the meds. I became more resistant to it and needed more. I wish I could just take one at the start of a headache and be done with it, but my body craves them and I can’t stop myself from taking them. I have withdrawl symptoms when I don’t take it. I have an upset stomach, the shakes, I sweat uncontrollably, and I really feel like crap. I don’t have health insurance so the meds are also very expensive, but that’s not my biggest problem. My problem is that I don’t know where to go for help or for counseling. I absolutely will NOT leave my daughter and go to a rehab center. Has anyone else been through this? Also, I am depressed. Extremely depressed.
