If you don't need them anymore cuz the stones sre gone then DO NOT start taking them again! We all have said "oh this time I'll take them correctly" or I'll have someone else give them to me(only to find the stash and steal afew here and there) If you are already running out early this is a sign also that you are becoming addicted because you are exceeding the prescribed dosage..Can I ask why you need them now?

OK let me re'phrase that.......is the pain so bad that you need this med on a daily bases and on that high of a dose? How long have you been on them?
The reason I ask is because it is VERY difficult to truely assess pain levels when we have been on meds.I would say it would take at least a month to get a true idea because when we w/d from narcotics all the masked senses come rising to the top and can actually "seem" worse therefore making us believe we really need a "larger" amount (or any at all) When in all reality after being off the meds for at least a month we start realizing that the pain is alot more managable than we thought and you would be suprised by the amount of people that were then able to control; their pain with non-addictive meds..does this make sense??
