What Is the Difference Between Physical Dependence and Addiction?
Question by playswithmatches: What is the difference between physical dependence and addiction?
I’m talking about prescription painkillers.
I have a slipped disc in my lower back, I can hardly walk or stand upright when I get up in the morning, I’ve been taking painkillers off and on for a while…My doctor prescribes me to take 2 a day, If I don’t have to go to work, I don’t take any. Does anyone know how long it would take for withdrawl symptoms to start, and how long they last?
I’m taking Lortabs
