What about the GP’s who prescribe them?
I’ve seen so many people addicted to painkillers and when the patient brings the problem to the doctor 9 times out of 10, the doctor just stops prescribing them!!!!! leaving the patient in cold turkey and desperate!!!
Opiate pain killers change your brain chemistry – for ever!!! addiction can hit anyone! rich or poor! old or? young! responsible prescribing is the answer and help for those struggling right now!!!
this? is happening to my family now. We need more treatment centers.
you seem like a sweet person. you? tell your story honestly. i can relate. thank you
It is the pharmaceutical companies fault !!?
Thank you for sharing.? I pray that you will continue to bring a portion of your son’s legacy around your state and this country, as his life, in death, will save thousands. I nearly lost my own life 5 years ago and I can remember the anguish. I do what you do now. I take my message to all who will hear. May God richly bless you and give you strength.
