I know all about the pain killers my dear, I was on a very high dose of fentanyl and oxycodone for over 2years...which make your percosets seem like jolly ranchers. I too felt like an addict, even though we're not. You may be physically dependant on them my dear, but for you they are a tool and you need them...for addicts they don't "need" them but can't stop taking them.
When the time came, I got off of them when I no longer needed them...you will too!
Hang in there!
