Opioid drugs are highly addictive medications that most people know as vicodin, oxycontin, and demerol that most doctors prescribe them for pain use. According to Harvard Mental Health Letter” the latest statistics compiled by the center for diseases control prevention, in 2007 pain killers killed twice as many people as cocaine and five times as many as heroin”. “The issue of painkiller addiction is receiving more attention recently because prescriptions for opioids have increased tenfold in the last 20 years. Opiods” are synthetic versions of opium. They have the ability to reduce pain but can also suppress breathing to a fatal degree when taken in excess. I interviewed my best friend who is currently take prescribed pain killers called vicodins, for major back pain. She has been taking pain killers for over 12 years now and has become dependent on this medication even though she wishes; she never started it. This all started from when she got into a major accident that injury and fracture her lower and upper back.
She was not offered any type of physical therapy or alternative solution to taking pain killers. At the time she thought that was her only solution to feeling better and managing her pain levels. She has been trying to stop, but each time she doesn’t take a pill or more a day, she feels very sick and weak and tired. It’s very common, for your body to become very depend on these medications. According to Havard Mental Health Letter” Opioids target the same brain receptors as heroin, causing euphoria.
As such a risk of long term opioid therapy is addiction, usually defined as the dependence. Taking pain killers comes with so many risks of addiction and long term effects on your body that you have no control over. I hope I introduced you too some very important insight on herbal remedies and homeopathic ways to manage and deal with your pain in different healthy ways that enhance your life to keep your body strong and healthy thank you….
