So I have been addicted to pain killers for 4 years. I don't really eat anymore so I have lost over 30 pounds. I go out every day on a hunt for more pills. My whole paycheck of about 200 dollars goes towards pills. I have been getting sick often. I really need to come off pain pills. Is there anyone who has gone through this that could give me suggestions on how to stop using? I really could use some help right now.

At least you eccept that you have a problem. And believe me, this is serious. I want you to go and see a doctor. And no, he or she will not prescribe any pills at all. You will have to do this, as you really need help. No offense. You are really damaging your body and immune system. So please, promise me. Go and see someone.

Should I go to my primary doctor or should it be a doctor that would specialize in this area of addiction?

that's quite abnormal already, even a medical condition. haven't you tried seeking professional help. your situation may get worse, getting sick that is. only a professional, a doctor can help you in your situation.
