Yes Anne your are abusing them.  I think alot of people do.  It's just hard to be on them that long and not increase your dose.  I get 100 lortabLortab
Lortab asa 10m and 60 20m oxycontin every six weeks and I always run out early.  Don't think you can ask the doctor for an increase, he just might cutCuts and puncture wounds you off.  I figure I'd rather keep the ones I have then running the risk of becoming cutCuts and puncture wounds off, and I have only been getting these for a year.  A good thing to do if you can is take your husband with you.  It really has worked in the past for me.  My husband dosn't know I run out early, but he knows I need them for the horrible painAbdominal pain

Chronic pain - resources.  So every now and then (especially when I thought the doctor was going to cutCuts and puncture wounds me off because I've been on them so long) I bring my husband with me and for some reason he listens to my husband (is this a man thing) and continues to give me my meds.  Usually though it's  good idea if you let him make the suggestion to increase your dose, just be careful.

Hello, I think every one who has responded is correct.  You can be abusing them, but don't stop cold turkey, ween yourself away.  Anything in excess is bad for you.  PLease go to a meeting.  I myself have run out of PercocetsPercocet 10/650 as of Wednesday and seem to be doing OK, but I feel the addictionDrug abuse and dependence kicking in. I was ready to leave my job a little while ago, and go to the hospitel and get some.  i would get fired though so I have to deal with it.  It's really hard to stop.  I know, I hope you get help.  Take Care
