How To Avoid Addiction To Pain Meds

 

Pain medications have come a long way in the last few decades. Although many people are typically able to find any relief using over-the-counter drugs such as ibuprofen or Tylenol, more people today than ever before are looking for a solution to chronic pain that they are feeling everyday. As a result of this, more prescription painkillers are being prescribed than ever in history. And as a result of this, more people are becoming addicted to these extremely strong pain relievers. There are many that are very effective including Oxycontin, hydrocodone and many other prescription drugs.

In order to avoid becoming addicted to these drugs, your doctor may prescribe an assortment of other medications. Drugs that are able to target your central nervous system are not limited to those based upon opiates. Although drugs like tramadol are often considered a lighter version of opiate related drugs like Vicodin and Norco, people may not have the same amount of pain relief, and may be forced to taking these medications for a considerable amount of time.

Addiction is essentially guaranteed when using anything based upon Poppy seeds or opium. They provide a euphoric effect that accompanies the pain relief. When people stop taking this type of medication, they can go through significant withdrawals. Their legs may become twitchy, something called restless leg syndrome, and they may also experience emotional problems when the opiates are no longer in their system. The best way to avoid any type of addiction to these drugs is to find natural remedies that might be able to provide you with some relief. By looking into alternative methods for managing your pain, which may include acupuncture or other types of Eastern medicine, you might be able to avoid the addiction and withdrawals associated with most opioids prescribed today.
