am I going to become a drug addict?

[bertha katzenengel]

Had to take Tylenol 3 twice today. Second time about an hour ago. The pain isn't gone but I'm high as a kite, and enjoying it.

Should I be ashamed of enjoying the high? Will I become a drug addict?

:dunce:

1. My dear bertha!

NO....you won't become a drug addict!

No...you shouldn't be ashamed of enjoying the high! Sheesh....

And YES...take the drugs when you need them.....that's what they're for!

:loveya: :hug:

And....BTW....Feel better soonest!

2. Nah, don't worry about it

I've been taking 8 Vicodin a day for the last 12 years and I'M not an addict! :silly:

*this is satire, btw, for those of you who are going to inform me that I actually AM a drug addict*

3. Don't worry...

... unless you know where to get some on the black market, you will run out soon and your doctor will decline to refill.

No worries!

4. Yes

Medical scientists have documented a direct link between Tylenol 3 and heroin. Within days, if not hours, you'll be prostituting yourself for a dime bag of smack.

But you should consider a little medicinal marijuana......

Just sayin'.

6. my pain's not bad enough

but i sure as hell wish it were legal. it should be legal.

everyone should now feel free to hijack this thread if they believe marijuana should be legalized or decriminalized :smoke:

7. UPDATE: what a whiney-assed thread this was!

:blush:

Thanks, CA Peggy, skygazer, sendero, and O. Rex. And of course, Scout420. I mean, Scout1071.

Off to my next dose. There's gotta be a better way.

8. You won't become an addict off Tylenol

but if you're worried about it, then maybe you shouldn't use pain medicine at the first drop of pain.
Maybe wait until the pain is so bad that you need something to dull the pain.
I never use Tylenol. Heard it is very harmful for you.
If the pain isn't gone, then it's not really doing it's job so you don't need it.

Take care Bertha. :hug:
I briefly read your thread about your cousin but we've been swamped here at work so I haven't had time to respond to it.
:hug:

[bertha katzenengel]

10. it's okay, Big Will. It doesn't need response - just a rant that i had to

get off my chest. Thank you, sweetie :hug:

BTW I'm already beyond "first drop." The T3 is for "breakthrough pain" as doc calls it. I want to learn to suck it up. Mine is nowhere nearly as bad as the pain some other DUers experience. I am a whiner.

[bigwillq]

12. Well that's the first step.

Admitting to yourself that you're a whiner! :P :)

Feel better sweetie. :hug:

9. Hell no!

Life doesn't have enough fun in it as it is!
