Pain pills

Funny! I'm the same way with them. Can't take them at all...they make me very sick. A few years back I broke some ribs and the doctor wanted to put me on Percocet and I refused it because the last thing I wanted at that point was to be throwing up. The doctor looked at me so strangely.

I gotta go feed that thing in Room 33.

That's the entire point of her character though. The Irony and Dual Nature of her behavior. There's not supposed to be any "Appeal" so to say. She's an Anti-hero. The Drug Use is actually moderate, just stylized differently for each particular scene.

whenever i was younger and stupid they didnt bother me at all, just made feel tired and warm. now though they make me so light headed

We got some oxy after my husbands back surgery. He's a veteran and he doesn't want to take pills because he's afraid of ending up like so many other vets, and that's addicts. The doctors and I convinced him that just for a couple days he should. They helped, but what he hated was how backed up they made him lol. I took an adderall ONCE and that was enough. I hated it. I've never tried anything drug related beyond that. It's amazing how some people can enjoy however it is they feel when they take the stuff they do

A thing that bugged me was the way she ate the pills. She would clutch them so tight in her hand then pop em so fast there were many times we never saw a pill in frame. Perhaps only through marathon viewing do such details fall under scrutiny but not actually seeing her ingest planted doubt and served to undermine the show.


I tell you what.

I sometimes need opiate pain pills for multiple spinal injuries but I don't see the appeal, either. they don't make me drowsy or high or anything, they just dull the pain for a while, then wear off. *shrug* I'll have periods where I need the pain pills regularly for several days in a row, then go right off them for weeks, no problem. that's why my docs have told me I'm not an addict (it's something I worry about, opiates are very serious), because I feel no urges for the meds. it's nice to have good pain relief available but not worth it sometimes with all the stomach problems, I'll choose pain levels up to a 7 over the nausea and constipation.

some people take opiates and it makes them feel some kind of high, and they get urges for more. any adverse affects don't kill their urges. addicts have real difficulty fighting those urges, they can tolerate more, they need higher doses. I think it's genetic.

I flinched whenever Jackie was chewing them up, dry-swallowing, or snorting the powder. bleah, gross!

You get used to the taste. Actually crave it. Trust me.

When I was a teenager in the early 1970s I had a broken collarbone and the doctor gave me some pain pills. I don't remember what they were, but they made me feel relaxed and euphoric. After I was healed, I had several of them left over and I rationed them out and would take one once in a while just for the nice feeling. But when I ran out, I had no craving, and I didn't try to get more. It was unwise of me to continue taking them recreationally after I didn't need them for pain anymore, but I was seventeen and didn't know what I know now. If I had become addicted, I suppose somebody would have made the case that I had a "disease" in an attempt to help me evade personal responsibility. But in reality it would not have been a disease, only a problem that was my own fault for making a stupid decision.

I've also had Vicodin prescribed for pain on a couple of occasions, and never felt any enjoyable effect. I don't know what characters like House and Jackie get out of it. As for more powerful prescription pain medications, they just make me feel horrible, like I'm going to pass out and die, so I avoid them.
