You ever address a 14 year old's addiction problem because she is huffing gas to stop thinking about when she was gang raped and she lives in a dry village so she cannot afford the $150 for a 750ml bottle of rot gut vodka? I have. You ever represent someone whose alcohol problem is so bad that her BAC was over .5 when she was arrested for DUI (legal limit is .08 and .4% is generally considered fatal)? I have. You ever represent someone who cannot really finish a sentence because he was grinding up oxys and smoking them for several years? I have. I've represented people who started abusing oxys because their body hurt after years of pouring concrete but without health insurance, they had no access to health care. I've represented people who started drinking to stop thinking about the death of their child. I've represented people who refuse to touch drugs but make a good amount of money off it. I've represented physicians who were investigated for 'over-prescribing'. I've represented people prosecuted for forging prescriptions when they were caught seeking their fifth oxy prescription in one day (different doctors and different pharmacies). The majority of my clients have addiction issues of some kind. I have hired numerous experts regarding substance abuse, drug-seeking behavior, psychological effects of various chemicals, recidivism, treatment and "cure". I have worked with treatment providers, treatment courts, clients, prosecutors, probation officers, physicians, social workers, and therapists to address my client's needs and help them get treatment. I have read numerous article, treatises and journals about addiction in an effort to represent my clients. No, I am not a physician, nor am I a drug treatment provider, but based upon my experience and what I have studied, as outlined above, I am qualified to say that the risks someone will develop drug-seeking behavior from taking pain meds as directed following surgery are low. |

The current recommendation is to remain on opiates for the shortest time possible for acute and post-operative pain due to the risk of dependence. You have back-pedaled significantly from your original statement that it takes "months or longer" to develop an addiction. I have shown you evidence that the risk increases significantly at the 5 day and 15 day mark. |

I’ve taken Oxy for chronic pain. After the first couple of days, never got “high” from it. Never brought full pain relief. Just level 8 pain down to 3-5. Took it for years.
Only got a couple of weeks of insomnia getting off it. Cold turkey worked for me. But, you can just read anywhere that my experience is different from most. That shit is highly addictive. Take only as really really needed to function as a human being. |

I only take them recreationally. Taking them for pain seems like a job.

If people ITT are looking for an alternative to opioids for pain, I’d suggest looking into Kratom.
