Most addictions are based in relieving the pain one has, be it physical or mental. This is why people need more and more. While high there should be less pain, but coming down the pain will get worse. I would suggest a rehab centre or your local detox centres to begin the process of recovering & getting your life back. Your doctor can certainly help you with all of this as well. I do hope you will consider sobriety.

Yes. I'm addicted to hydrocodine and I know that I wake up hurting until I take my substitute until I go to bed way more than normal people do. It's usually just a looseness in my muscles, bad clinching, and terrible terrible pain in my back if I don't take them. I abused them - Didn't take them as a prescription. I'm not sure how people react on a prescription basis because I don't know how addicted your body can get unless you are taking like 5 every day to get "high " but most likely prescription users have the same problem. But yeah, it does.
