i had a twin sister who was a cutter and she also abused pain medicine, i had such a hard time understanding what she was going through when she cut herself, i did ask why do you do that and she said i hurt so bad inside when i cut it lets the pain out. like i said she abused pain meds like ie.. xanex and so on but the dr did put her on soboxone (spelling?) which did take away withdrawls she had coming off pain meds and it did help with her neck pain. i dont know if that medicine will help you but it is non narcotic and its there for people who have pain and abuse there pain meds. talk to someone who you feel comfortable with counslers,dr,friends to help you heal with your pain you feel inside, many prayers are with you take care of yourself.. michelle
