It appears as if you are trying to extrapolate universal truths from
your limited, individual experiences with painkillers. Perhaps *you*
didn't feel a "high," or perhaps your "high" was masked by pain, or
perhaps not. But for you to state that if a person is feeling a "high"
from taking a pain killer, then they don't need the painkiller or that
they are taking more than necessary, has little if any basis in science.
I don't even accept the word "high" in this regard. These are called
downers for a reason. They dull your mind and your awareness. Some
people embrace that and can't stand to get "up".
I also think there is another reason pain killers are self
perpetuating. With the pain killer, you continue re injuring yourself.
When recovering from an injury or surgery, pain is good. It tells you
that you should not do that. Prescriptions should be given in a
decreasing dose regimen so after a few days you have tapered down to
half and eventually you are out. Renewals should be hard to get. If
your pain is still that bad, they should be looking for what went
wrong, not feeding your habit.
Yup.
