What Are the Most Addicting Pain Meds?

 

You have probably heard of people becoming addicted to pain medication. This is a common occurrence in today's society. Doctors, more than ever, are prescribing different types of pain pills that have extremely addictive properties. Although you can go to your local pharmacy or supermarket and get pain relievers such as Tylenol or Advil, when it comes to chronic pain, and dealing with it, sometimes more potent medications are needed. In this quick overview, we will present some of the most addicting pain meds on the market today, medications that you may want to stay away from due to their addicting properties.

When you go to your family physician and talk to them about dealing with chronic pain, they will more than likely refer you to a pain specialist. It is possible that they might recommend going to physical therapy, yet if your pain is not manageable, they may then prescribe certain other drugs. One of the most common drugs that is prescribed is codeine, and opiate derivative that specifically targets mu receptors in the brain. When this occurs, your central nervous system is able to handle chronic pain much more easily.

Unfortunately, this might not be enough and the pain specialist may actually recommend something that is not only much more potent, but much more addictive as well. There are many opioids that a doctor can recommend including morphine derivatives and even Tylenol with codeine. They may also prescribe Vicodin, Norco, and Percocet if you are unable to get a handle on your pain. You must be careful with these drugs because there is the possibility that you could experience addiction to pain meds which can lead to a whole host of other problems. Your doctor will be able to help you by recommending only what you need.
