What is all of this negative attitudes of narcotics??? I thought this was a place of caring/supportive people, but all I seen so far is "bashing". I don't understand what diffence it makes if you take narcotics, antidepressants, imitrex, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers,oxygen or other drugs. People need to realize that alot of these drugs ARE controlled substances, so what makes narcotics so bad....EVERY drug has good and bad points, and I am not supporting just narcotics, because they are not for everyone. But the REAL ISSUE should be what works, NOT what drug it is or am I wrong??? I am totally confused, and quite concerned about the attitudes over medications. Please realize that these are real people looking for relief just as you are.
