Painkiller Addiction: IF you've been there personally, or have credible knowledge of same, can you answer this?

If she takes them every 2-3 hours, then im guessing that's about 5 or 6 a day. Norcos are just stronger vicoden and im not sure what soma is, but if she is taking them on top of the vicoden, then there is a very good chance she is addicted. I have been on vicoden for the past 3 years, as well as some other pain medication but they change every few months or so, but I don't take more than 2 vicoden a day.Since they are so easily accessible to her, she probably would only know if she was addicted if she didn't have them or tried to stop and went through withdrawls. Her doctor should really be monitoring her. Mine makes me take a pee test every few months. In my opinion, I believe she is addicted because she takes so many and has been for awhile now. The easiest way to detox is to be weaned off over the next month or 2. You cant help someone who doesn't want to help herself though.
