Opiods like Percocet are very addictive if someone takes them everyday.... or if people take more than prescribed. But if someone is in serious pain,.....it's not a bad thing to take it everyday. It improves their quality of life....so, so what if they are addicted...

Yeah, it’s a total shame that I have to go through humiliating experiences over the years because of peoples perceptions. I’ve taken such a low-dose of Percocet for 25 years with no consequences and amazing pain control. I’ve been entirely stable on the medication. After 25 years if the stars in the moon are aligned and I have no pain, I don’t take the medication. On the other hand sometimes I have to take it a little in advance to make sure I don’t get too much pain and I’m chasing the pain. Opioid pain medication should be used when the medical industry can’t offer you any relief from the pain and also after surgeries when you need to deaden the surgical pain so you can do the rehabilitation exercises. Everyone misunderstands that there’s a proper Circumstance for alleviating pain which can’t be controlled by any other means. 25 years ago, I was put into the hospital after I was given too much. NSAIDs and finally had an allergic reaction. Only then was I put on opioids. It is unfortunate that are truly valuable treatment falls under the wheels of abuse. The damage it does to legitimate users is ignored.
