As someone who’s suffered with chronic back pain for more than 30 years i can tell you that addiction is not always the final result of opioid use, like the national narrative would like us to believe.
I was prescribed 1500mg/day, and many times i used more if the pain dictated, for 13 years until i decided to quit cold turkey after i retired. during that time i worked 40+ hrs a week at a physically demanding job with no adverse effects. i have also known several other working people in similar circumstance as me, who also used opioids regularly and never became addicted.
I have also known people who willfully abused opioids to get high and those types of people are likely to become addicted.
People who suffer constant pain and have a legitimate need for these drugs, but now find it much harder to get them, are victims of this campaign to paint everybody who use opioids as addicts.
There is not one doctor who.would prescribe you 1500mg a day now. That's absurd anyway, so you got 18 oxycontin 80mgs a day? I call ******** doctor shopping and if you took percs you would be dead from tylenol. I could rail three 40mg opanas and that amount would have me drooling all day.
