If the drug companies waited on me to purchase their side effect riddled crap, they’d go broke. I take extra Strength Tylenol...even after major surgery. Always get an RX for 10 demarol, but rarely take more than 2. Side effects are not worth it.

And as I have FMS and PN and the back from Hades, I live in pain 24/7/365, they can keep their side effect riddled Lyrica too.

Find bio feed back works better, and then I talk a lot to GOD.

Yes the author of the article and the OP (who I suspect are the same person) seem to have a bit of tunnel vision. The problem of a self-destructive out-of-control use of pain killers is a real one (and I don’t contest Carmom’s experience in the least), but there are many, many patients who use painkillers as prescribed. The OP doesn’t seem to realize that creating a “Reefer Madness” hysteria will likely lead to additional government intervention and persecution of responsible users.
