Okay, so I realized that I'm addicted to painkillers.
I keep being told to stop taking painkillers unless i really need them. Every time i take more than 6 or 7, but the most I've ever gone is 10. i only took them for five days. Today makes it seven since i started again the night before today. I just want to know if anyone knows what those painkillers can do to your body because when i take them/stop taking them i get shots of pain in my stomach and they come and go and hurt so bad. I lost interest in a lot of the foods i use to eat, and sometimes i feel like throwing up when I'm eating something which usually only occurs when i eat breakfast. When i stopped taking the painkillers, i got horrible cravings and somewhat anxious. Anyone have any idea what is going on? |

There are many website that talk about painkiller addiction, here is one.
Link: http://www.opiates.com/prescription-painki...-addiction.html according to the site, the more painkillers you take, the more pain you feel if you don't continue taking them. always read the label on the painkiller box, can, etc. It should tell you side effects. What painkiller are you using? This post has been edited by Csshih: Dec 19 2007, 01:11 AM |

It's best for you to ask your doctor, I'm not an expert on this subject, but, it may not be from the painkillers.
FROM http://www.naturalessentials.com/motrin.htm QUOTE More common motrin side effects may include: Abdominal cramps or pain, abdominal discomfort, bloating and gas, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, fluid retention and swelling, headache, heartburn, indigestion, itching, loss of appetite, nausea, nervousness, rash, ringing in ears, stomach pain, vomiting Less common or rare motrin side effects may include: Abdominal bleeding, anemia, black stool, blood in urine, blurred vision, changes in heatbeat, chills, confusion, congestive heart failure, eepression, dry eyes and mouth, emotional volatitity, fever, hair loss, hearing loss, hepatitis, high or low blood pressure, hives, inability to sleep, inflammation of nose, inflammation of the pancreas or stomach, kidney or liver failure, servere allergic reactions, shortness of breath, skin eruptions or peeling, sleepiness, stomach or upper intestinal ulcer, ulcer of gums, vision loss, vomiting blood, wheezing, yellow eyes and skin. Looks like it may be a side effect, on the more common side effects, it include abdominal cramps and pain. |

Painkillers, such as Nurofen are extremely bad for your lungs and should olnly be taken when necessary. It can cause severe damage to several other areas and shorten your life dramatically. I suggest you get off them.

Drug like aspirin may lead to stomach problem such ulcer and gastitis. But aspirin like drugs don't cause physical addiction. Probably these drugs may lead to psychological addiction, because they build drug addicting behavior. If you have problem with your stomach, you have to be examened by gastroscopy. You may aggravate ulce or gastritis run using aspirin like drug. Another type of painkiller is drug influencing on morphine receptor such as tramadol. These are RX drug. These drug may lead to psychological addiction as well as physical addiction. Nobody have to use them for a long time. Pay attention to the reason of the pain, because pain is a sign of disease and pathology. |

Well, what you are doing, is creating an addictive habit. You are just using a mechanism like taking 'painkillers' to attack attention for whatever needs you feel you are lacking. Tylenol, Advil, Motrin are not "painkillers." They are pain relievers. If anything they are a low grade over the counter legal by the bottle sugar pill. You are looking for an idea of what would make you special by destroying anything you think you might have for a chance of attention. It's a simple case of you having a lack of personal focus and direction in life. I would bet that you are 'original' and have an 'abusive' or 'messed |
