        I finally was prescribed a light dose after years of 24/7 pain! Some of us felt like it would be better to be dead than live in that pain!

        You're right! There are thousands of people who legitimately need these medications. Go after the ones breaking into pharmacies.

        You are, without even realizing it. It's massively over prescribed. people who need it will get it. To many don't, and still get it.

        Just started two months ago. Finally. My pain management clinic does drug test every time. I had MRIs done before they would even prescribe

        If a person is prescribed pain medication and takes them all at one time, that's a choice. The people who "try" drugs do so by choice.

        Opioids are an essential medication for many people, though they shouldn't be prescribed without good reason. Let's not demonize legit use.

        Opioids are essential in the cases they were developed for. Not over 100 million folks fall into that category.
