Doc, do you think some have a propensity to want to feel dead/numb in there heads on the opiates?
I guess so, but I don't know. Nobody knows except the people who get hooked; they must get more of a euphoria from the meds than I do, because any time I've taken opioids I have quickly developed a distinct sensation of dysphoria... the opposite of euphoria. I feel tired, wasted, cranky, and nauseous. After both of my knee replacements I was off the narcs as fast as I could, and damn the pain.
But there seems to be a great number of Americans who want to avoid any bad feeling at any cost. They refuse to eat a sensible diet, refuse to exercise, refuse to work, refuse all the things that make life worth living in my book. I think that's at the root of the problem.
