Re: What's wrong with pain pills?From: April (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri Oct 31 21:54:10 2003
Catie, I think that everyone has to decide for themselves what is a priority and how much pain they are willing to "live" with as compared to how much to take pain pills all the time. I would say I have become close to being addicted to morphine. The problem with this was that I had to take more of it to get relief from the pain. I was also so doped up that I still wasn't able to function much, I wasn't in pain though...kind of a catch 22. For myself, I am in a job that I deal with children and parents every day and I am often driving them around. If I am taking strong narcotics while doing my job I do not fell as though I am acting responsibly if I am driving other people's children around. However if I had a different type of job where my alertness was not affecting others safety I probably would take more narcotics than I do. When I am on my own time and not driving, I do take stronger medications more often, but I am always careful about this too because my body easily builds up tolerances to them, and I don't want to go back to take really strong narcotics. Anyway, this is just my decision for me. You need to do what is best for you but be aware of what the consequences of whatever way you are going are and be ready to deal with them as they come along.

I know I'll probably get yelled at and start a war, but I'm really having a dilmea here. What is so wrong with being addicted to pain pills. No, i'm not addicted, but I can totally see it happening, but I don't see the harm. The only time I feel normal, happy and pain free is when I take pain medication (ultracet). Shouldn't I be able to feel like this all the time? I'm sick of always being in pain. And I'm sick of having to take pills when I know I have to do some kind of normal activity like clean, do laundry, have a night out with friends just to get through it without being in such pain I have to either not finish whatever i'm doing or leave my friends early because I can't stand the pain anymore. So please...tell me why I shouldn't take these pills every day!!
