I have to ask those of you who quit narcotics: Did you start taking the narcotics because you wanted to get high, or because you had neuropathy? If you had neuropathy, what do you do about the pain instead of using narcotics? My doctor has told me that when my condition progresses beyond the level that gabapentin and lyrica can mitigate, I will have to segway into narcotics. I am scared of that ...Peggy

Narcotics are not to be feared if you don't use them to get high. The doses do increase over time and at least for me, became ineffective. That took several years. Make sure your doctor has experience using these meds.
