I'm on five prescription medications -- all generic, thank the god of your choice -- and I'd rather be on none at all.
I was recently prescribed codeine to treat pain following a dental procedure. I took one of the 20 pills in the prescription and determined that I really didn't need any more. But I'm reeeaaallly glad opiates exist. There's no good reason for people to live in pain such as I've had the good fortune of not experiencing myself in quite some time. And it annoys me no end that unscrupulous pharmaceutical distributors and retailers knowingly divert opioids to the illicit market and put honest prescribers and pharmacists and patients under a spotlight for doing with those drugs precisely what they should be doing.
