I'm sure most addicts think 'they ain't a big deal' also.

Probably for most people they aren't but some for whatever reason can't deal with pain or whatever and start popping them way more than prescribed.

I have a friend like that hooked on Vicodin and that's all he thinks about, when he came over we had to hide everything. .....not so much now because he's not welcome.

I have a very high pain tolerance so never affected me at all.

I take pain killers but not all the time, only when I need to. They constipate me and make me very irritable. I can go for weeks without it but when I need them they help very much. I've taken Percs before and don't touch my pain. Actually ultram works very good for me too and it's less of a big deal because they're opioids; not an opiate.

I have a high tolerance for pain killers I can take 3000 ml of Vikes in one dose. Sometimes in the morning you can read my posts and tell I'm on it. I haven't taken any yet this year!

I'm not an addict. I can file for disability if I wanted but I'm a worker...take your nap.

Now now, don't be upset. Pain killers can affect your temper also.

Go ahead and do that and while you're at it pray for your sobriety.

I went golfing on a Sunday morning. Felt consipated all day, shot a horrible round. Went home and couldn't sleep cause of the pain. Went to the hospital and the next day, out came the Appendix. They only gave me Tylenol. No hard drugs at all

Druggies will always find an excuse for their narcotics.

You don't know me from anyone..just what I've put out there. You shouldn't judge people.

I have a really high pain tolerance so no biggy to me. Still take one every 3/4 hrs though maybe because they do help with the pain.

Experience with addicts in the family and friends makes me immune to addiction.

Can you actually see being addicted to those pills though. To me it's when I need them then taking them for a buzz. But yes they will put you in a stae of euphoria but all the time feeling like that sucks.

No but I'm actually immune to pill/narcotic addiction or any hard drug addiction.

I know everyone's like "oh it can't happen to me" then it does, but it would literally never happen to me for a variety of reasons.

Plus if you buy them illegally then you'll go bankrupt. I know somebody who went from 700+ credit score to bankruptcy in 2 years from pills (more than just painkillers though - Xanax, percs, adderall, everything under the sun)

I've been prescribed for a long time now and I'm supposed to take them. If I go to an appointment I'd better have it in my system. I always do when my doc appt. is near. I don't tell anyone about my meds..well you guys but hey you don't know where I live.

Dude, no one is immune from addiction. Your in denial.

Some people are just smart enough not to do shit all the time.

appendicitis is scary stuff, never had it but stories say it's extremely painful, and

can kill if it ruptures.

I had percs when I had my knee replaced. I think I took one of two, then threw the rest away.

the addictive tag bothered me.

They tend to do that now if at all possible Tylenol instead of the big stuff and if you really need something more maybe they'll kick it up.

Ohio in particular got a bad reputation from the doctors going heavy with the Schedule II meds that they know has led to some of the current heroin crisis going on.

I believe most people would not have any adverse effects from those med after surgery or like me chronic pain -but- for some they slide into a slippery slope with bad results.

And we as a society are paying a price for the druggie problem both from robberies and added incarcerations and the cost of dealing with the OD problem. .....getting expensive!
