I took Darvocet and NEVER had a problem. Now, I take Oxycodone for chemoneuropathy, fibromyalgia, neuralgia. I take ibuprofen first and if that doesn't help, I have to take a pill. I usually end up taking one a day in the evening. If that makes me an addict then so be it. At 63, I am about quality of life. I have started CBD oil and that has helped immensely. The Pharmaceutical industry should produce more natural, less addictive, alternatives. But...their business model is to create return customers across the board. I signed a contract with my PCP and I have a urine drug screen every three months to ensure 1) I am taking the medication vs selling 2) I am not abusing the medication. I am happy to do this because my life would be a living hell without some narcotic relief. Some people have a genetic propensity for addiction while others do not. I am blessed to have NOT a genetic propensity.
