I've been given opioid prescriptions a few times in my life, and I've never found myself wanting to take them for their own sake or suffering from withdrawal afterward.
It's probably some variable physiological response - hopefully one day we'll have a good way of profiling a priori which people may have difficulty with using opioids in a controlled fashion so people don't have to suffer to find out they're among the unlucky ones. (Or maybe we'll come up with either a new class of drugs to replace opioids entirely, or a cocktail to block the adverse effects...)
- seibelj 6y agoI got prescribed Percocet back when they casually gave them away to teenagers who had their wisdom teeth removed, and did not like it. Not only was I constipated but it made me feel really lazy and itchy. Not a fan.
