About 2 years ago I started taking Lortab 10/500 for a knee injury, well this is how it went....My first visit I went to a Pain Institute where they gave me 30 pills for the month, next visit 60, next visit 90, next visit, 120, next visit 150, next visit 180 the legal limit by state law!!! I never ask for this amount of pills but I sure didn't turn them down. By this time I was so strung out on these things that it was just ridiculous. They took control of my life for over a year, they were first in my life. The first thing I went for in the morning were my pills and coffee. It was the most awesome feeling in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it. Then guess what 180 a month wasnt enough I found myself buying them off the street, doctor hopping, pharmacy hopping and everything else. My Girl was even addicted! I finaly got enough when I lost my insurance , got caught doctor hopping, and my habit went to $100 a day. Just to let everyone out there know that may have the same problem out there that there is an alternative that will help. It is called Suboxone.You take like one pill a day which kills the withdrawal symptoms and gives you your life back. I promise it is the wonder drug for self rehab!
