Yeah, I see more and more people addicted to prescription drugs. It's a nightmare.
The doctors will prescribe that shit like it's candy (dentists too).
You shouldn't take a painkiller like oxy or Vicodin, etc. for more than a few days.
But if you go to the doctor, they will give you a 30 day supply with 3 or 4 refills!
Basically they are drug pushers for the pharmaceutical companies.
I had a bad auto accident in 2002 and had my neck and both arms broken. Spent a month in the hospital in ICU and a week of that awake with a morphine drip.
The day I got out of the hospital they gave me a big prescription of pain killers...3 months worth!!!
I threw the prescription away without ever filling it. I needed to be alert and get back to business (I had an employee do the typing for me at the office because both arms were in casts).
I had to have a clear mind.
But if I had taken that prescription and all those pills for months...I would have ended up addicted.
