  1. The only pain med that I’ve used at home is Hydrocodone with Tylenol– and then I only take a half of a pill once in a while — as that seems to help– I try to only use Tylenol — I would hate to be addicted to opiods –it’s hard to understand why people get so dependent!

One example would be stopping a terminal cancer patient from getting the proper medications for their pain because they will ‘become addicted’.
