I can’t tell if you are trolling or if you actually believe that.
I don't think they're "trolling" at all. Their experience pretty much mirrors mine. I've had 4 major lower back surgeries, after each of which I was prescribed hydrocodone (sp?) in pretty high doses to help with the pain after the surgery.
The only thing hydrocodone did for me was barely take the edge off the pain post surgery, and I had zero "withdrawl" effects after taking them for several weeks after surgery.
People all react differently to medications.
