  Knowing what I know about pain and how well that opiod painkillers combat that pain, and knowing that what I've experienced isn't anywhere close to what some people have experienced, I'd absolutely accept a script for opiod painkillers if I needed one.

    Having had several short term prescriptions for opioids in the past, it certainly makes sense to me to be quite thoughtful about whether they are necessary. But that's still quite a ways from absolute refusal to consider using them.

  No one ever got hooked with the bottle of Tylenol 3 they send you home with after you get your wisdom teeth out. But when it's oxy or hydromorphone I'd agree, also I don't even want to think about having morphine or fentanyl patches in my possession.

    Still, when I had my wisdom teeth out at 17, I threw away the painkillers. I knew that they would be problematic for me, so I decided to not even go there.
