Seems every drug eventually turns out to be bad.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Every drug has side effects and every drug, if taken consistently enough, will damage you. You are interfering with the natural body process. You are suppose to hurt when damaged. We take stuff to stop it because we want to continue to function and because we do not like hurting.

But, as Dr Sowell famously said, there are no solutions only tradeoffs.

And the tradeoff for getting rid of nerve pain is that it, over time, damages the other job that the nerve system is suppose to be doing.
