LIMIT? LIMIT? No, they control it as if each pill is made of gold. I have frequent pain from a ruptured disk and from migraines. But, I cannot get a pain medication on a regular basis to control the pain. I have to wait until I am screaming in pain and writhing on the floor. Then, I get enough to dull the pain, but not enough to control it.
At present I live in a country where it is much easier to get the heavier stuff. I am still not addicted but I do have much less pain and I can do things I can't when pain takes my attention.
I am accepting Miss Abdul's statement that she was addicted. But now that she isn't addicted anymore, is she still in pain?
It isn't an addiction when it meets a need.
