Anybody else have addiction anxiety?
I was prescribed Tramadol for my chronic pain, and I'm very nervous about forming an addiction. I've never had an addiction before, but my birth father was a drug addict.
I was/am still taking Marijuana gummies for when my pain is unbearable, but sometimes I use them when my pain is simply mild & annoying.
I'm worried I'm taking them too often or that addiction is starting.
I take my tramadol exactly as prescribed and do not mess with the dosage or timing (aside from yknow sleeping hours).
But like, I don't know i keep feeling haunted by the concept of addiction and the fear of becoming like my father?
He used to tell me stories about his drug addiction years from ages 5 all the way up through when I was 16 in highschool, so yknow that definitely adds to it.
TLDR: afraid of drug addiction, mostly from weed, slightly nervous about tramadol.
Thank you for your time
