Yesterday I faced the scary reality that I have been hooked on hydrocodone for 4 months. I was taking anywhere from 4-8 tabls 10mg per day. Today found a doctor that prescribed me Suboxone. I have also been suffering from anxiety for 2 years and depression since puberty (I am 33 now). Since Jan 2007 I have been hit by a semi truck, had a miscarriage, broke my ankle, and have been struggling with work depression, anxiety, and now substance abuse. My regular psychiatrist and counselor do not know about the pain medicine abuse, I didn't realize it myself until yesterday when I found myself obtaining them from "a friend" and I realized THIS IS NOT NORMAL! After the miscarriage, my Psych switched me from Celexa to Cymbalta. Cymbalta made me feel suicidal it was so scary. I am now back to Celexa and Provigil. I need advice, I am afraid to tell my Psych about the Pain Med abuse. What if she changes something and I feel suicidal again. I don't know if I can ever handle that again? Suggestions?
