Not pain meds but when I was going through my second divorce my dr. prescribed Valium, just to get me through the stress.
When I went to fill the script, the pharmacist told me straight up - if you take these as directed (3x/day) you will be addicted within 2 weeks.
I heeded her warning and only took it once a day - just before I got home and had to deal with the crazy biotch.
I'm thankful for that pharmacist.
I should also add that I've had my share of major surgery in my life and been given all the major painkillers. I found I rarely needed them after the first day and even then just once every day or two. Normal Tylenol the rest of the time.
I don't think people realize the kind of time bomb they're carrying with this crap.
