Yes it will go away!. Your body does become dependent on painkillers!. This does not mean you're a crackhead! :) Your body has been receiving this opiates and now it will want for them and may even begin to experience pain!. I had a friend who WAS addicted to painkillers and abused them and she would wake up and be unable to leave her bed because without the drugs, her body ached!. So, be glad that you're aware and be proud of yourself for not responding to your body's cravings! It will go away!Www@Answer-Health@Com
You may not be addicted but it sounds like you were very close to physical dependence!. Hang in there, the feeling will go away!. Try to stay busy so you have less time to think about wanting the drug!.
I don't know for sure but it sounds to me as if you were walking a fine line between almost dependant and dependant, that's not a line you want to cross so stay strong and the feelings will go away eventually!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
