So do people on opioids. By the way I was on hydrocodone for years. I don’t like the way I felt. Now I take prescription strength ibuprofen. I’m more alert and residual pain level is lower.
The VA prescribed me opioids years ago. After a few days I stopped it myself. Felt like crap and I told them to never prescribe that crap for me again. I will deal with the pain and have for almost 20 years.
I take prescription strength naproxen when needed myself.
