> 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. Ok, this is such a nonsense. Addiction is not caused by euphoria - it's caused because people can't stop taking it because of nasty withdrawals. Now, when you are using it for chronic pain, you don't usually feel any euphoria, but pain relief. I've been using prescribed opioids for years and I am really anxious about doctors falling for this kind of messaging. If I had my prescription stopped, that would be the end of life for me.
