I have been addicted to oxycontin and methadone in the recent past. Now I am in the process of a divorce and am being charged by my husband with marital waste. I feel the addiction and depression caused the excessive spending. I don't remember a lot of what I did during this time, and want to know if the spending could have been a result of the addiction and depression. I have been ill for a long time and have had 12 surgeries for ulcerative colitis. I live with chronic illness and pain. My doctor prescribed the medication and I was on it for 3 and 1/2 years. I have not taken any narcotics since 2004. phyllisjbp

YES !!!!!! You do alot of things you normally wouldnt do when your using... Go to your pharmacy and get a print out of all your rx's you have haved filled during the years you were using it. I learned that in treatment we do alot of crazy stupied things when were using...

Best of luck to you,

You should have a doctor or psyc. doc take a look at the situation and make a statement on whether or not they think your addiction could be a reason for spending so much money- it may be thrown out due to your previous illness

I can tell what your going through. I think im beginning to become addicted to aderol. Basically ritilin for adults for those of you who don't know what that is. Definately go see a phychiatrist for that. sorry for the incorrect spelling. make sure it's a psychIATRIST not a psychologist because psychiatrists are more knowledge able about perscription drugs because they often perscribe drugs like the ones that you were abusing.

PS let me know how this ends. That is if you don't mind. God Bless
