    Default Painkiller rant

    OK..I'm going to preface this by saying that I KNOW it's all in my head so please nobody take offense.

    Because of my health issues I take painkillers on a fairly regular basis. Not all the time...but whenever things flare up, which is fairly often.

    My issue is people who take painkillers for fun. I dont know why this bothers me...it isnt like there is a finite amount and they are taking anything away from me. I dont usually give a crap what other people choose to do...your body your choice. I only care when it affects me. And this doesnt. So I dont know why it irritates me so much.

    The only thing I can come up with is:
    1)whenever the girls at work find out I have a script for painkillers they bug up my ass to get some. Then get all pissy with me when I wont give/sell them any. I try REALLY hard not to let anyone at work know....but once in awhile they find out. I'm not a fucking drug dealer, I dont take them to get high..I take them for HORRIBLE PAIN. They dont even get me high. I dont even get to have the fun part you get.So piss off junkie.

    and 2) I think I just really resent that I HAVE TO take so many pills every day. SO when someone does it who doesnt HAVE TO...its almost like they are mocking what I go through. I KNOW they arent. It has nothing to do with me...but I cant help it. It's as if someone suddenly thought chemo drugs were fun and started passing them around. Someone who actually has cancer might feel odd about it.

    This is really hard to explain.

    Plus I HATE being made to feel like a drug addict when someone finds out that I take them.

    I dont know what the point of this is.

    Again..anyone here who takes pills recreationally...I dont mean to offend. I know this is my issue, not yours.

    Oh god I hear ya girl!!!

    One of the clubs I was booked at a couple of girls found out I was on a script for percs for my shoulder and they were harassing me to sell them some of my percs. Then when I said no they got pissed off at me

    Thanks to people who abuse pain killers it makes it so much harder for people who NEED them to get them.

    Addiction is hard to understand from a non-addict viewpoint. I'm sorry the girls bug you for your meds, that's not cool. But very few people really know what they are getting into when they start taking prescription medications for fun. You don't plan on getting addicted, it just happens, very often when people start taking it for an actual condition. And when that does happen it is anything but fun and games.

    It's a real bitch when the medication given to make you feel better actually makes you far sicker than that for which it was prescribed.

    Yeah...I really dont want this to turn into a addict vs. non-addict thing.

    I can see how this would drive you nuts. I really feel for people who deal with chronic pain. It has to suck to get hassled at the doctor's office, and then harassed by people wanted your meds to get high when you actually need them to deal with pain.

    I wouldn't tell anyone. I'd take them out of bottle, and put them in a pill case, or never take them in front of people. If you do this make sure you keep a copy of the prescription in your wallet so you can prove they are yours if you get pulled over.

    Sorry you have to deal with this.

    Thanks. I dont tell anyone. I cant take them out of the bottle because in this state, if you are caught with prescription drugs that arent in the proper container you can get arrested for possession. I knew someone this happened to. Yes, I'd prob get off once I proved I had a valid script...but it would be a huge hassle(and since the pharmacy has my script, I cant carry it with me)

    Plus, I almost never take them at work because I run a chance of getting violently sick to my stomach. I honestly dont know how the girls who pester me find out I even have them.

    I think you have every right ot get upset.. YOu WOULD love to be able to just take them recreationally, but you aren't able to. I can see how others asking to play w/ something you desperately need to maintain would get annoying and almost insulting.
    I think you explaining that you NEED the pills should be explaination enough to get them to not bug you and the fact that they are getting pissy about it just shows they don't know how important these drugs are to some people.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    Thanks you for saying it better then I did!!

    The biggest issue for me though is not necessarily the girls who bug me for them...at least I can try to explain...and if that doesnt work, scream and yell and tell them to fuck off. I have an outlet there.

    It just kind of grates at me when I HEAR people talk about taking them for fun. Like I said...it's probably because I resent that I HAVE to and dont get to have a choice. So it is entirely my problem...not theirs.

    If you can think of something you HATE to do but HAVE to...and imagine someone saying that they do it recreationally and how fun it is....you can kind of understand what I'm saying(I'm not explaining it well I know).

    but.. i thought you take them for fun? maybe im wrong.

    I will only add that this part is not actually true. The recreational user does (potentially) affect you. For example, oxcontin was a Godsend for some people with chronic pain, and are now virtually impossible to get from physicians due to what happened with this drug. I know several people who are in that situation who suffer daily pain who found this drug very helpful and now cant get it. So, the recreational user can and does effect your ability to get the pain meds you need, and that sucks.

    Good luck with your pain issues.

    I totally give the thumbs up on this post. I'm an admitted pill addict. Recreationally? Not so much as the girls who just want to take em for fun. I feel a need to take them. I have a bad habit of asking when I hear about pills, but I would never, EVER whine, butch, scream, etc about it. I like to think I have my cravings under control that much. Sheez.

    LOL, this reminds me of the time when one of the girls found out I study nutrition. You know her, but, anyways, she was like, "OMG I need your help, I want to gain weight so bad but I can't." I asked her what her eating habits were like and she said, "Well, I love burger king and stuff but I don't eat on the weekends cause I do a lot of E."

    :

    Hmmm, I wonder...


    Typically, of the girls who work there, the ones who are loud and boisterious about their drug use are young, recreational partiers. You don't really get that many hardcore addicts in there. On the whole those girls are loud about everything and I could see how that could be like nails on a chalk board. Well, that wasn't very helpful, now was it?

    And asking wouldnt really bother me. I've certanly asked friends and traded pills when my prescriptions ran out or they had a painkiller I hadnt tried(so I could tell the Dr what worked and what didnt without having to go through the time and hassle of having multiple scripts filled YET again just to find out that they had no effect on me)
    It's the ones who act like I'm having a party and not inviting them that irritate me. Because i'm apparently REQUIRED to share my expensive prescriptions I actually NEED with virtual strangers.

    Hmmm..I think I might know who, but now I'm curious!

    And you are right..we arent talking about addicts. just party girls who dont see drugs as something someone might NEED...they are just party favors. So I'm a big bitch and a party pooper for not sharing.

    And that is certainly true. Thankfully I have a Dr that knows damn well I'm not an addict and doesnt judge me when I need him to write me a script. Of course,now my insurance company wont let me see him anymore and I'm afraid I'll end up with a Dr that WILL judge me and think I'm just looking for drugs and wont give them to me.

    And you have every reason to worry about that issue as we all know one doc does not always follow the others. Is he/she a pain specialist? If not, that's what I would be looking for as their knowledge and attitudes are quite different and they tend to be ahead in their thinking on such issues.

    My current Dr is actually a gastroenterologist. Thats what I need for my pancreatic issues. The chronic pain mostly stems from that(and my incredibly screwed up back and now...the migraines I will have to live with. I'm so happy I've managed to somehow ADD pain )

    I totally understand where you're coming from Cameron. People would always bug me to give them some of my pain pills and then call me a bitch when I said no.

    I'm sure if they had to go through the daily pain that caused us to HAVE to take pain pills, they wouldn't think it was so cool.

    Ive been a recreational pill popper and now i NEED to take them for pain. If I knew back then what I know now...I have to take 3-4 times what I should take just to feel the effect, some painkillers dont work at all anymore, etc. It's so not worth it to me anymore.

    Ya know, I have a good friend who works in a pharmacy and who pops pills, so she steals them from her pharmacy (fake cameras in the back). I'm gonna be real...I popped a few with her out of curiosity (for 'fun'). Last time I did it, I thought to myself "What the hell am I doing.....I'm taking PAINkillers for God's sake....and for fun!" and I made myself feel like a dumb ass, so I didn't do it any more.

    Hey Cameron-

    I totally feel what you're going through. My Doc also gives me painkillers (viccodin) for severe mentrual cramps caused by fibroids and most recently, a cyst on one of my ovaries (lovely).

    I hide my drugs, but keep them in a small bottle with a script w/ my name on it. There is one dancer who is always hitting me up. I am VERY good at hiding them from her and feigning empathy when I tell I don't have any

    She even gave me about six of them. She was really flying and was telling me how she wanted to be done with pills and she was really paranoid about getting found out. I just put them in my script bottle. I only took one. I was saving them for the day she would ask for them back, LOL!

    It took about a week.

    I do feel the effects of insurance companies becoming more strict with Doctors prescrbing certain drugs. Earlier this year, I had to go into my Doc's office for a an 'interview' so he could reassure my insurance company that I was not an addict.

    We had a good laugh about it and some cool conversation, but my PPO charged me a $30 co-pay for that visit
