- DanBC 11y agoOpiates are the wrong choice for most pain. Opiates are only useful for a narrow range of pain. People think opiates are some kind of magic pain removal med, but for many types of pain opiates are not as effective as eg paracetamol. When a doctor prescribes opiates for pain they often cause an addiction, whilst not fixing the pain.
