I don’t think using pain medication makes you an addict. It does make you dependent in that you have to wean off – – – but there are many other types of medications that you have to wean from, PPIs come to mind. Personally I much prefer being dependent on a medication that helps me live a full life.

@ckeys In 05 when I fractured my back after the initial nar otics I was on ,and you listen to your Dr on how many you take ,this wo t make you an addict the Dr told me I then was put on 6,5,4,3,2, then one Tramadol ,at present some days I dont need it but at bedtime it helps me sleep without pain So these people who get addicted are not following the Dr,s instructions.
