phsycological dependence

[VERACITY]

is the worst part of this isn't it?

i feel completely normal physically.

but every now and then the thought pops up in my head. Especially since I have a fill of 90 waiting for me on the 11th at the pharmacy.

damnit this sucks.

I think the worst part is the boredom I go through daily, lol. I just keep thinking about how great it would be to pass the time "drifting" around. With a smile on my face rather than the expression of sheer and utter boredom.

but hey, what are you going to do? If I pick this up again, it will just get worse.

can someone suggest a med that is "not" addicting, that could help me with my back discomfort, that actually works? Preferably a non-opiate.

how about soma? I also would prefer not to be all groggy from it. I know soma is a non-narcotic as long as it isn't soma compound #1.

soma is pure carisprodol *spelling
soma compound is carisprodol with aspirin
soma compound #1 is carisprodol with aspirin and codeine.

I love how nobody will respond to me, because I'm not part of the "clique".

It really doesn't help much.

My sister-n-law is very addicted to Soma. I' am not sure which one, but be careful. She takes way too many, but alot of things can be addicting even if they are not soposed to be.

Veracity, that is not it at all. I just don't have any knowledge about Soma and alternative pain relievers. But when I read your post I thought, wow I can really relate to what she is saying, that is exactly how it works for me. But of course I am stuck in the physical part of it too, so I have no choice but to go through a plan to get off. I hope someone has some answers for you. I just couldn't answer your questions!

I am not sure about the whole "clique" thing. When I read those comments, I get flustrated because I know some of my questions have gone by with only a few responses and I have never though about it being a "clique" thing. Just give it some time for people to answer and if you don't get some replys the bump it up again. It may have just gotten over looked by someone that could give you some insight. An hour and a half really isn't much time since most people only check the board once or twice a day. Maybe in the morning or evenings. I think their are alot of people on this board that lurk and not comment. I know I am like that 90% of the time, unless I feel I have something to offer, more than just support. The "clique" thing is more just made up of the people who answer and give support and advice, instead of just lurking.

On with it~ Something that I am on for the depression and helps with my back pain is Neurotrin. It takes a pretty high dose to get to the stage where is helps the depression and the back pain. I take 1600 mg./ three times a day. It is not a medication that has to build in your body. It helps ten to twenty minutes after I take it. Atleast it is something to talk to your doctor about.
In my experience, be careful with the Soma. I have turned from taking a high dosage of Lortab's and have replaced it with getting a high from Soma w/o codeine. I don't have withdrawls and I don't consider myself addicted because when I don't have any, I am fine. I don't seek them out. I get my prescription for the month and they last me about a week. Then I go three weeks without and I am fine not having them. But I am just being honest when I tell you that I love the high. I will take two or three and drink a 40 oz. Bacarti Silver and I am one happy camper.
