[quote=Anonymous]In my family, DH, both of my teenage kids, and I have all been prescribed narcotics/opioids at least once if not multiple times each, for different injuries in the past 5 years (broken ribs, 2nd degree burn, hip surgery, ankle surgery, kidney stones). We have all stopped taking them once our pain decreased but before our first prescription ran out. DH probably relies on the pills the longest but he still never finishes a bottle. One of my kids and I both strongly dislike the side effects we get from these medications (nausea, itching, sleepiness) so stop taking really quickly and another kid is just super tough and wants to get back to normal routines so stops taking them. Neither of our families have a history of addiction (alcoholism or drugs) and I firmly believe that some people are just predisposed to addiction, and this issue is more likely to happen to those people. With opioids being so easy to get addicted to, its a terrible combination.[/quote]
