Am I Addicted Painkillers?

Question by Myles: Am i addicted painkillers?
I just have a question about painkillers because I’m starting to concern myself. Ive been taking painkillers as recreational use but the only way i can think to ask this question is to put an example. So for example, if I can take like 30mg of oxycodone(percocet) or mabe more could i consider myself at an addicted stage?

Best answer:

Answer by Alex H
If your not taking them because they were prescribed to you, and the doctor still thinks you need them, and if your not in pain, but still taking them, you need to stop now. If you stop, and realize you are addicted to them don’t put off quitting, I guarantee quitting will only get harder, and harder with time. Plus, the longer you are addicted to them, the more potential you have to mess up you life more and more!
