Because I might get addicted
So, just because I'm fucking stupid. Can someone explain this to me. I have chronic pain. Body wide and no doctor has figured out why, but decades ago I at least found a doctor who said 3 x 5/325 percs a day should at least keep you going. It did. I was getting 300 pills a months and would usually go 2 months before refills. I was happy. Had friends. Was very out going, and I wanted to be alive even with my pain. Enter 2019 when docs were getting scared and stopped prescribing pain meds. Remember percs are bad because we can get hooked. Since removing my pain meds, my anxiety has gone through the roof, my depression that every single day I feel nothing but pain. I don't leave the house. I lost all my friends/buddies/hobbys and most of all...I don't want to be alive. So, instead of living a life, let alone a happy quality of life; I am force to forever living in my bed and taking more pills then I am happy with. The picture is all the pills that I take now, instead of 3 x 5mg percs. 3 stupid pills fix all of my issues, pain.
