All the pain killer does is mask a symptom and create a new and much greater problem.

The more pain killers a person takes, the more tolerance a person builds and then must take ever more pills to achieve the same effect, and then all of a sudden the addiction exists.

I’ve never been addicted to opioids, so I can’t really comment on what an addiction to that is like, but I have been addicted to xanax, and that was the worst thing ever.

To Hell with pills.

I think the benzos might actually be worse. When ever I hear them compared by abusers, the ones with only the opioid pill addiction are glad they aren’t/weren’t on benzos, because the addiction takes hold so quick and the withdrawal so bad. And that’s with the easy opioid overdose.
