If you’re in pain following surgery, the prescribed medication isn’t expected to feel “fun” or produce a recreational high. Note that this does not mean that you are immune to addiction or recreational effects. In fact, this exact mindset is a common story underlying many addiction stories: A belief that the person’s response is in some way unique or less than average, leading to cavalier engagement with drugs. Don’t go down this path.
