Christ that brought back come memories

A few years ago I had a wrist injury ......dont ask .....and went to my gp for some pain relief

He gave me 2 weeks supply of co codomol 30 ........which is basically a mixture of paracetamol and codeine

I was totally off my face

Stopped cold turkey after 2 weeks ......that's 8 tablets a day and was having flashbacks , night sweating , panic attacks , vomiting , horrible withdrawal reaction

Apparently loads of people are on the stuff and when the doctors say no more people just go from pharmacy to pharmacy getting supplies of the weaker stuff to top up

In America opioid addiction is out of control
