This is a big problem. Just the people I know or have known who have had or have a problem with narcotics it started at the doctors. Me for instance, I had never taken a pill before in my life until I needed some major surgery. The surgery went fabulously, but I ended up "needing" the pain meds for another 4 years. Until my insurance ran out and my doctors would no longer wright anymore scripts for me. Imagine that. These pain killers are not easy to get off of, I ended up buying them from people who had insurance for a long while before I was able to get off them. Now my son is going to be having some pretty serious surgery. But before we found out what was wrong with him I had to take him to the emergency room twice. Both times they offered him a narcotic (vicodine). He just turned 17. Wow, that's crazy! My son simply smiled, and said "No Thank you". This response is only due to my grave ordeal. Or society should be more aware.Do you know of things we can do? You are right. This is a big problem.
