...narcotics you will become addicted to them. Of this there is no doubt. So when you are going to stop taking them you will need to go through a protocol of decreasing doses and a period of medically supervised withdrawal. If you are taking narcotics under a doctors supervision and following the administration recommendations you interact fine in your daily responsibilities, interactions, etc. You can go on indefinitely without any adverse affects although you may need your MD to increase the dose periodically.
The problem with narcotics are when you abuse them, i.e, start taking them other than as presribed or have no regular access to them when you are likely to experience withdrawal and increasing act irregular in order to procure more drugs.
So yes, you do get addicted to narcotics.
