SilverAngelus Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Hi, I was just wondering if it was really possible to get addicted to pain killers like Advil, Aleive, Ibyprohin, Tylonal, ect. Does anyone know if it is? Thanks Angel ________________ I flew with Suicide Sometimes just to kill the pain I cant always say Its gonna be better tomorrow Everthing is falling away from me Falling...away from me -Korn "Falling away from me"
Sundaymorning Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 I am not thinking so....but the human mind is so powerful that you can get addicted to anything if you really wanted to. Just convince yourself over and over that you are addicted and that you want and need it- and bam! You are.
daydreamn1980 Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 I think just like anything else if you keep taking it just b/c you think that you have to have it or that its going to help you feel better then yes it can be an addiction b/c its in your mind like that, hope that made sense. Sometimes I still have a bad habit of popping Tylenol just b/c I don't want to get a headache or whatever that day, pretty silly I guess, but I have stopped doing that so much like I used to.
miz_barby Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 I don't know...I have taken oxycodone, methadose, hydrocodene, and percocet and thank GAWD i have never become addicted! I had to take methadose for over 2 years *not by my choice* doctor's order strict! for a pinched nerve in my back, teeth pulled and had to take oxycodone, and the other two they put me on to try and ease the back pain before. Anyway long story short thankfully no addictions here but I bet anyone could almost become addicted to anything!
moimeme Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 There have been plenty of cases of people addicted to painkillers.
