    I Hate narcotic pain pills. Wisdom teeth out got perc 5/325. After 3 weeks i went back for a follow up visit. My dentist asked me if i wanted more. Remember this is three weeks later my pain stopped after 3 days. Of course i said yes cause i liked them and how they made me feel,after that i haven’t stopped using them since. I feel they are perscribed to freely, almost like some? doctors are unaware.

    Dear Lord Jesus,

    I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the grave to give me life. I know You are the? only way to God. So now I want to quit disobeying You and start living for You.? Please forgive me, change my life and show me how to know You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

    I think anything narcotic should only be given to anyone under 18, during hospital stays in exponentially regulated rates. These things are in the face of kids everywhere, like never before, its going to kill and or ruin the lives of hundreds of thousands if not millions. The Government, state? and local law enforcement are now aware and worried, but I really think even given their state of alert, they only are really aware of a small fraction. I would say One in 10 households don’t have them.

    I have two types of arthritis. With out these pain meds I couldn’t walk much less show interest in anything else, because when you are in pain that takes presidence over everything else. When I don’t have my pain meds I feel painful and flat. Listless.I worry that I may enjoy? my pain meds too much. They seem to be the only comfort I experience in this dreary life. Without pain meds I am depressed and lethargic. With them…. I am invinsible. If they cut mine out…. I wouldn’t make it.

    PRESCRIBED YOU MOST LIKELY NEVER NEEDED THEM, ‘DOING PILLS’ C’MON THIS LOOKS SO BAD FOR ANYONE WHO HHHHAAASSSS TO ‘TAKE’ THEM. NAMING EVERY OTHER PAIN PILL IS NOT A SIMPLE ADDICT? GIRL PROBLEMS? THESE? ARE PAIN PAIN PAIN MEDICATIONS! NOT A CRUTCH FOR THESE PATHETICALLY WEAK MINDED DRUG ADDICTS.
