Couldn't this cause addiction to the implant instead? Or really nasty "withdrawals" if the implant is removed? Wouldn't be very different to opioids or painkil

Wouldn't be very different to opioids or painkillers; just different mechanisms if action for similar phenomenon
- alisonkisk 5y agoFTA: > What’s especially neat is that the stimulated brain region normally doesn’t generate any sense of euphoria, the downfall of opioids. This means it’s likely to decrease the chance of addiction. And because the system only stimulates the brain when it detects pain signals, it lowers the chance the brain adapts to the stimulation.
- hn8788 5y agoYeah, seems like you could get "spoiled" by it and lack the mental resiliance to tolerate any pain if it's removed.
