The pain killers are serious business. Criminal to be pushed on people by doctors. I had one vile after serious shoulder surgery. Oxys. Never so relaxed in my life. One pill and I would feel like I was falling endlessly onto a soft mattress until sleep came. The shoulder pain left but I kept on with the pills because the relaxed feeling and the falling sensation felt so good. Only trouble was I woke up feeling like I had the worst of hangovers. I felt awful every morning after. Flushed em.
