 YES!a couple of years ago i hurt my
back,i was in so much pain that i
was crawling on the floor,and also
looking after two young boys.The
docter prescribed some pain
killers,for two months i took these
pills,then i found out i was
pregnant,so when i stopped taking
this pill,boy did i get a shock,
I couldnt sleep,eat,my mood
change,all i wanted to do was take
one of these pills,but because i
was pregnant i had to use all my
strenght to not do.
I found out a little later that the
pain killers the doctor prescribed
were addictive,but the docter must
of forgotten that part when
prescribing them to me |

Boy is this a can of worms. My
health care is Kaiser of SO., CAL.
I have been in pain for so long it
started 9 almost 10 years ago they
the doctors kaiser are all to happy
to write up. Lets see, I was
addicted to Tylonal 2. 3. 4. For
about 1 1/2 years then 3 different
Vicodins for 1 1/2 years then
Lortabs I was at about 250 grams a
day about 12 pills then i was on
finally but on Methadone 90 9
pills aday. My sister was far
worse then i was. My sis not only
on pain med but anti depressants as
well. We both ended up in Kaiser
Rehad that made us worser then
before. And now trying Med. Pot.
And if that don't work do not know
what is left to try.
Muck love to all |

That's one loaded question,i take a
lot of meds due to pain.and at this
time my docs will not give to me
script with out a visit.state law
for a narc. Drug,and i think it
should stay that way.and if a
doctor is giving out that type of
med to anyone without seeing them,
they should be responsible for the
out come.my body will not function
without that drug, i call that a
monitored addiction. Narcotics are
addicting no matter what the
dose.if your body has to be weaned
off of some thing, that's addicted. |

 If a person is receiving pain
medication because he or she has
pain, research has shown that they
won't become addicted to it. It's
only if someone uses narcotics for
pleasure that they can become
addicted. |

Over the past years doctors are
more and more unwilling to
prescribe meds, expecially
narcotics, because so many of them
are now available in generic form,
so there is no kickback from the
pharmaceutical companies to
prescribe. Try to get a
prescription of Vicodin for a real
need, and you will be told to take
Tylenol. Try to get a medication
advertised on TV and not yet
available in generic form and
you'll get it without hesitation,
regardless of need. Another
example, Valium has been a proven
anti-anxiety agent for almost 50
years, is cheap and available in
generic form, but ask for it, and
you'll be told how addictive it is,
even though you only need a dose
when anxiety occurs. So the Dr.
Gives you a new drug in the Prozac
family that will make you even
crazier than you think you are and
you must take it daily no matter
how good you feel and cannot
discontinue use abruptly with side
effects. I think that is much
worse than taking a med only when
you need it. Shows who is padding
the doctor's pocket even more than
you or your insurance company. |

I don't think the problem of
addiction would go away if
prescribed pain meds were more
closely monitored by physicians. I
think the issue is that doctors
should not be blinded by celebrity
status and be so quick to write out
a prescription or two for addictive
narcotics. |
