Specializes in Pain Management

Addiction: Craving (mouth watering as you described) is indicative of addiction. Feeling shaky is a sign of withdrawal. Based on the limited information you've developed psychological & physical dependance. There are many non-opiate options for pain treatment. Think of your problem as a rapidly growing & lethal cancer which can be cured if addressed asap. Seek counseling urgently & while your ahead.
