For the shingles? I didn't take anything. My mother had a really bad case last year and she wasn't prescribed any kind of narcotic for the pain. She was prescribed a mild nerve sedative. You are determined to avoid the point and nothing you have said contradicts it in the least. Everyone who takes a heavy narcotic often enough in a big enough dose will become addicted.

The point is to try and avoid taking too much and for too long because of that issue

And it depends what you mean by addicted

People just want the high they had while on the drug or that need it or the will go into withdrawal symptoms

There are recreational cocaine users just like there are recreational alcohol users who aren't addicts

That may be the point you're trying to make but that has nothing to do with my original post that you replied to.

Most people know what narcotic addiction is. Maybe a dictionary would help you.

People just want the high they had while on the drug or that need it or the will go into withdrawal symptoms

What? WTF are you talking about?

There are recreational cocaine users just like there are recreational alcohol users who aren't addicts

Sure there are. /s

I wasn't talking about either alcohol or cocaine neither of which are like opiates. The subject is legally prescribed narcotics (opiates and their deriviatives) taken as prescribed. If you can't stay on the subject then don't reply. Your nonsense posts are a waste of time.
