#addiction/#opioid
Sad, but true. We did not see meaningful reform in the approach to addiction until the prescription drug induced opioid crisis came for white people in gated communities. Most of us tend toward being egocentric, so the majority community has to see itself suffering in order to grasp the problem.

I get liver enzyme and urine tests every single month, I do cognitive function testing twice a day for my MS tracking. I'm fully lucid at all times, and haven't felt a "high" of any kind from my meds since before obama took office.

Opioid addiction is bad, monitored opioid use is not

and good Lord it's not like your life would be significantly worse if you were more opioid-dependent! You are already suffering! There is nothing "addiction" could do to make it worse, arrrrghhhhh!

Many people don’t understand how addiction happens. Combating the opioid crisis and raising awareness about fentanyl is one of my office’s top priorities. Follow along every #MythMonday as we share the facts behind common fentanyl myths.

Unless you live in a state that has legalized the recreational use of cannabis, the federal government as of this moment is offering you three choices for pain management: severely weakened CBD, opioid addiction, or nothing. But they DO want to make sure you can't afford whichever you choose.

Endogenous opioid addiction is real lol

I've been rewatching Nurse Jackie, which I binged right around the time it ended but I haven't watched since. My thoughts: 1) Dr. O'Hara is everything. 2) Dr. Cooper is worse than I remember. 3) Mo-mo > Thor 4) Knowing what I know now about opioid addiction puts Jackie in a very different light

⬆️avoidance learning / negative reinforcement in opioid-treated patients (26 chronic pain, 24 OUD)

Cool project

🤔
Are opioids the common factor, or another vulnerability?

Chronic pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue, addiction ... All comorbid & w/ same predictors

Increased Avoidance Learning in Chronic Opioid Users
This case-control study determines whether opioid addiction is characterized by increased avoidance learning and whether this is also observed in individuals with chronic nonaddicted opioid use.

Trump’s big lie.
It’s not the boats from Venezuela or Canada …The U.S. has the world’s highest rate of opioid deaths, owing largely to the profit-driven “health care” system that guides people toward pain medication but does not incentivize the intensive, long-term care required to treat addiction.

[delusional] if I was a VoxTek employee the CEO wouldn’t let this happen to me he’d encourage an opioid addiction so I could slave away at my wagecuck job pain-free. And I’d LIKE it

I’ve spoken about opioids and addiction to them a couple times for educational purposes (partially due to being Naxolone certified and hoping I won’t have to use those skills too often), but the best way I can explain opioid addiction in layman’s terms is aomercing like:

#Painkiller (on Netflix) was both a tough watch and a great audio-visual experience. I thought it was very well made.

It's about the development of the #opioid epidemic and #Oxycontin, created and brought into the market by #Purdue Pharma. About #greed and #drug addiction.

This + being a teen during the dredges of the opioid epidemic radicalized my views on substance usage and how we view addiction. That the proverbial party line must be toed, even if it’s not based in reality, even if it’s killing people. The truth is black and white, ignore those pesky greys!

Read about her a few years ago and thought she needed an intervention for her neurotic addiction to surgeries. The poor kid. I suspect that she was on some sort of opioid after some surgical work and it didn't mix with what she was taking with the guy. She was the apotheosis of the sick influencer.

8. Peter has a past of opioid addiction, so he never takes pain medications, instead he just brute forces his way through any sort of physical pain.

GLP-1s show promise in treating addiction! People with opioid dependency showed like 50% reduced cravings! It may be a broad-spectrum miracle drug.
