T3 is child's play compared to other drugs, that's the point. Clearly he uses codeine for emotional pain, which is on going. So why is it ethical to take anti-depressants and not ethical to use a mild opiate. Given the codeine has less withdrawal effects?
The difference is a doctor with little no training in mental health prescribed one? Far be it a person has a right to their own body and what goes into it.
He's self medicating, it's his choice. He is highly unlikely to OD from this. I really don't see a problem. Why do you want to control every facet of everyone's life? It indicates to me you are severely unhappy in your own life and need to control others.
You are so unbelievably uneducated regarding all of this and quite possibly enjoy being incorrect. Not that it matters to those who say things like, "use CWE for a better buzz! It's legal, all good here".. Basically point the blame towards a doctor for prescription abuse, not yourselves -- justifications and excuses and lack of getting help for your problems. Just find easy and temporary fixes.
In a nutshell; Anti-anxiety, anti-depressants etc require mental health assessments. Evaluation and going about diagnosis for specific mental health issues, in a process. Not finding your personal drug of choice to self-medicate. In your theory, use meth/heroin and every other drug, if it temporarily brings you solace and makes you feel "great"... That's nonsense.
There's also the obvious, when you have mental health issues and seek help, be it depression or anxiety, medications are implemented for long-term use, they are for neurological disorders. Painkillers are not. They attach to the receptors in your brain that control pain/numb it physically; euphoria is not always the case. Every body is different, as is the chemistry of the brain. Euphoria is a temporary fix, leaving the potential addict craving more and relying on a buzz to feel good for maybe 10mins at a peak time. Not solving what is internally going on with the person and causing addictive-prone behavior. If you're unhappy and abusing a drug, you're only going to become increasingly more depressed. This drug will change you.
Neurological disorders and their medications are intended to provide what your brain does not produce naturally. Dopamine, serotonin, etc are staggeringly low for people with manic-depression. Abilifies (anti-depressants) are created to provide you with long term treatment and balance out the depleted levels that causes unmanageable depression. Same with anti-anxiety. These treat the problem. Not exacerbating them with irrational, quick and easy fixes. Not to mention unhealthy. If everyone took painkillers for depression, their liver/kidneys would be spent and the abuse will catch up to your body. If you want to be on dialysis eventually and rely on a catheter to urinate. Go for it.
(....Seriously?)
And I have no desire whatsoever to control a single soul on this earth. Trying to tell someone "opiate abuse is not the way to go about feeling better" comes from a compassionate place. I've struggled with opiates since I was a teenager. It's a very exhausting and rough addiction, that can consume you physically, steal your soul, motivation and passion -- chasing that good feeling.
Your "indication" that [me] wanting to steer someone away from drug-abuse = wanting to control them or means one is unhappy with oneself -- indicates you're very ignorant, one-sided and genuinely believe in your delusional thinking. Because helping is bad, condoning drug-abuse and how to "do it right" is the person you should listen to. Solid advice, huh?
Self-medicating vs seeking legitimate help for something that could be wrong with someone, hypothetically addicted of course. You're astonishingly wrong, but I believe you know this already and simply like the negative/combative side you bring out in yourself, online. Maybe you feel a little more in control. Either way, don't justify this stupid theory that you can pacify depression with a quick fix, in a painkiller; 10 long years. My kidneys and liver would punch you. But they're currently hard at work mid-twenties.
I'm addicted to Tylenol w/codeine. Is it normal?
