My SO takes hydrocodone 3-4 times a day for pain. No sure what mg, but I think it's low. She had a car accident in 2013, and has been on them since.

What I do know is that she is addicted. She goes to the pain center when ever they require, whether she is out or not, to have prescriptions renewed. They monitor her use from a far, has to pee in a cup, etc..., but don't know if she has an excess amount for future use. She worries when the count is low, and schedules another appointment. Addict.

On another note, the necessity for pain medication can be psychological. Placebo effect. My grand mother ate advil like mad for pain, but when we swapped the advil for purple M&M's, they had the same effect.

I would like to have pills made that resemble my SO's pills to prove to my point. We have had the discussion. In her mind, she's not an addict.
