Too bad about those pesky side effects. Like shooting up the workplace, killing your own children and suicide.
The safest most effective severe pain treatment is narcotics. When it comes to side effects and end organ damage nothing compares. The only two side effects constipation and dependency can be managed. Tricyclic antidepressants help with pain, muscle relaxation and sleep. A friend of mine went through two months of degenerative spine pain with only Motrin. It almost wiped out her kidneys and didn’t control her pain. Treating severe pain with SNRIs and all their brain-changing side effects is just what’s needed to give these poor souls the energy to off themselves.
