Hi Krisakira, I,m new here and feeling paranoid about posting and all, but I feel compelled to reply after reading your post. You are in no way dumb or stupid for asking for feedback on this one- in fact I think you are incredibly wise. I think you have your answer already. You know the best course of action is to see your doctor and find an alternative.Those feelings you are having, the fear of not being able to handle the pain without the meds, the relief you feel when you have them,the panic you feel when you can't find them and deep down knowing that these pills were only ever meant for short term pain relief- they are an intelligent persons alarm signals telling you it's time to sort this out. Be honest with your doctor about the severity of your pain, I'm sure there are good options for treatment of restless leg syndrome. I have just crawled out of the ugly pit of addiction- and it's nowhere you want to go. sorry if this is too long a post, but hearing what you had to say reminded me of how I felt in the very beginning and if seeing a doctor now can nip it in the bud - I say HELL YEAH !!! DO IT
wishing you a happy non addicted life, guzz.
