My brother was addicted and he had that issue too. But he also had major health issues.

i understand why so many people overdose on these Opioids. It just making the matters worse(pain). There should be a petition on banning this type drug.

I do not want it banned. I want it better managed. It is dangerous to give for any kind of chronic pain for any non-terminal illness.

I have chronic pain (thankfully for a good long while it has not been a big issue) and I have had injuries and offered opioids and I flat out refused.

But the problems are multifaceted.

probably should be banned except under certain conditions. the stuff is deadly, seductive. that was what sounded the scariest to me when i did a little research, the part where they said it permanently stops the human bodies built in ability to deal with pain.

Yes, that is why they are so bad. A lot of doctor's should not even be prescribing them; they need to be more careful in understanding what pain management is all about.

.

Dr. Drew states that opioids should only be given for the "short-term", because of the fact they are highly-addictive. You keep wanting more and more -- and then, you are in trouble.

.

Opioids suppress the area in your brain that detects pain. This can be a bad thing, because by the time your pain gets to such a high level; things go from bad to worse really quick.

Yes, it causes A LOT of hypersensitivity. Raindrops felt like acid on my husbands arms.

So you're really just here to spread political posts off-topic via your sig?
"Anyone for banning the AR15 must be on the side of the criminal as once banned only criminals will have them."

I am for banning the AR-15. It's a MILITARY tool, not a civilian hunting weapon (well, it IS used to hunt civilians). Don't act such a softie. You want a killing machine legalized.

sad to say, honestly, there are some people who are better off addicted to opioids, i've known a war vet like that.

Take that crap to P & R, please.

It was illegal once to give opioids outside of hospital settings until opioid makers lobbied Congress to remove the restriction, thus the beginning of the epidemic. [Edited 3/7/18 4:33am]

Yes, you are right.
