I was just relayed a story where a 16 year old athlete who hurt his back was given a prescription for 60 Vicodin. He took one, fell asleep and his parents threw the rest away. Dont these docs realize that 75% of population passes out but 25% get stimulated. It is so easy to get addicted to pain meds nowadays it isnt even funny. Especially when there is no followup on prescription renewals. It should be VERY hard to renew a prescription the second time. All the more reason to do your best to not put drugs into your system. It can be a very slippery slope. Remember, just because they are prescribed, nobody is stuffing them down your gullet.
