Oh, I am well-aware, as I have been on a somewhat niche Schedule II prescription for over a decade now. It can be quite a hassle. I am merely pointing out that the idea that medical doctors being unaware of a basic correlation between opioids and addiction, one which has progressed from one medicine to another over the decades, seems ... disingenuous? Preciously naive? Remember, I am replying to "If the companies are lying about safety, how are the doctors supposed to know?" Here, I think the doctors are supposed to know in the case of opioids because this is an ongoing historical trend. A random new class of medicine? No, they will probably trust the safety sheet, as well they should. The umpteenth opioid? I would be viewing with a gimlet eye anything saying "Nah, no addictive potential."
