I have been given just about every pain perscription there is and if there was an adsdiction connected to them, i never got them filled and if I did, I usually flushed the pills or put them in the trash. But unlike most people. I can fight pain mentally and my mind gets used to it. I still have my last Fentanyl patches, all but 2 in a drwer and I am trashing them today. Mind over matter works for me.
