Anti-depressants, tranquillisers and sleeping pills are some of the most prescribed medicines in the world with a record number of us on the ’happy pills’. Many of these drugs come with a range of serious side effects, from dizziness and nausea to increased agitation. But is is their association with violence and suicide that has been most controversial.

There are things like methadone and suboxone to substitute and prevent withdrawl. However these things especially suboxone are a slippery slope meaning they also have the potential for addiction /abuse just significantly less so than opioids. Also with marijauna becoming more legal/ available more people could turn to THC to help manage pain and opiate withdrawl . Youd be surprised how much better a recovering addict or pain patient can function after a good sativa

I understand we are in a very troubled time with the opiod crisis, but I also understand unrelenting pain, and being unable to ease that pain due to misuse of painkillers by others. Until, you've actually had pain so deep and so cruel that you can't see going on anymore and are given something that couldn't possibly touch that pain becauuse someone else abused this medicine that could help, you can't really understand the other side of the coin. There are people who also legitimately need opiods at some point due to breath stealing pain but cant get them. There has to be an answer other than where it is headed.

@lars5288 Месяц назад

I think that people misunderstand that pain is not an illness, but a symptom. So if there's constant pain, then there is an underlying cause that must be cured. Popping pills might be necessary for terminally ill patients where no cure is possible. But anyone else should look out for curing the underlying cause. Opioids aren't necessary in 99% of all patients who aren't in hospice or hospital. Outside the USA nobody is prescribing opiods to ambulance patients. There is the problem, and of course in patients who still believe having a prescription makes them immune to addiction and side effects. It doesn't, so be careful!

@Yinyara 28 дней назад

@@lars5288A lot of chronic pain sufferers have chronic conditions that can't be cured though no matter how willing you are to get rid of the underlying cause. There is a huge difference between chronic pain and temporary pain. It's often the people with temporary pain that start abusing the meds. I'm not from the U.S. but I live in the EU and because of the opioid crisis in the U.S. it's even hard for us here in the EU to get pain meds. Even though there is no crisis over here. All my meds are regulated by the system, all doctors and apothecaries can look in the system to see how much I'm allowed and when I'm allowed to pick up my new prescription etc. The doctor won't prescribe me oxy over here though because of the crisis in the U.S.

Getting sober takes more than 90 days. Those 90 day programs aren't long enough by any means. Most times it leads right back to the same behaviors because they don't delve deep enough to get to the root of the problem. There isn't enough time in 90 days to peel through the layers of the many problems that are covering the true issue of the addiction. Getting to the heart of the problem takes time, effort and hard work to get to the root cause of the addiction. I know this through personal experience with addiction and recovery.

The crisis with opioids is they took them away. My step brother was injured from abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of his parents. He had a bad back and couldnt get more pain meds from his dr when needed. He ended up killing himself. My husband is a disabled vet who has suffered tremendously from a botched surgery by the VA. Their pain management has been appalling. I have chronic pain from a spinal tap done at birth (against my mother's consent) and also fibromyalgia (after quitting their anti-depressants and anxiety meds). With help from a friend, I found that Percocets worked but when i tried to get a prescription for myself the dr refused. They ultimately reformulated the pills and they no longer work. I recommend staying away from all doctors. The system in place wants us all miserable or dead. Its absolutely criminal what is happening!

As I’m watching this, the ads are White Claw. Let’s talk about that. Let’s talk about the physical, mental, emotional, familial destruction caused by alcohol addiction. Let’s talk about the access to alcohol. Not everyone abuses alcohol. Just like not everyone abuses opiods. I have had 14 reconstructive surgeries in 9 years. I have taken opioids off and on but never on a consist basis. While I have experienced physical dependency, I’ve never become full blown addicted. I think it has to do with the nature of my injury combined with the abundance of joy and support I have from my family. This is always such a confusing topic for me because I feel so much empathy for those that get addicted and I also feel so guilty anytime I have to take a pain medication. I tell myself I should be able to push through the pain. But given the nature of my injury, I can’t even breathe because of the pain somedays.

When I went back for a postop check up, the awful PA said she would only give me a Tramadol refill. It was my 13th surgery. Tramadol doesn't even touch my pain in the slightest because of my history and tolerance. She ended up being let go shortly after that because she just sucked in general and had a terrible dr/patient rapport.

Something has to be done about this problem. As an addict in recovery, I can absolutely understand why people wanna just cut out opioids completely pretty much, but I also understand the anger at Drs because they think everyone asking about pain meds is just someone that's useless. Drs have become inhuman in the sense they don't seem to understand pain meds is all that's allowing some to be able to work, to be able to go out and do anything with friends and family. There has to be a way to ease the restrictions. Yes I agree drugs are bad but if you are pretty much bed ridden from pain but a Dr won't write anything, what then, cause while I'm not bed ridden, I have lost my ability to work or do anything really physical. So many people truly do need pain meds but can't get em. More people would be able and certainly willing to work. Are there gonna be bad apples that abuse things, yeah, if things are not set up right then absolutely, however it absolutely could be set up for success. This is a serious problem that needs worked out.

A 9 year old would never become addicted to pain meds for surgery when taken as prescribed! Just STOP, we have veterans that have had limbs blown off that need opioids for some sense of a normal life! This prohibition must stop, as everyone at some point in life will have to take an opioid for pain! Imagine yourself in a horrendous car accident with several broken bones and severe injuries, you will be begging for pain medication and it won’t be the Tylenol that gets rid of such horrendous pain! I hope they have a no opioid policy so you can suffer in severe pain just like you want others to do! Complete BS! My BIL died from alcohol addiction, maybe we should start closing bars and liquor stores and throwing the owners in jail so we don’t have anymore alcohol addiction? Get off your high horse and realize life happens quickly and you may just need an opioid, which is the only drug approved by the FDA for pain control! Ibuprofen is for inflammation and Tylenol is for fevers NOT pain!

This is obviously a very complicated problem with no easy answers but what makes things harder is that opiates have been the only real option for crisis level pain since day dot. Thats why they still use them during surgeries, they may not prescribe them anymore, but someone gets a heart transplant or their leg amputated, they will never have asprin in their IV. If someone ever does come up with a non opiate based medication that has equal pain control, it will be a massive change in the world.
