Sorry dude. VIOXX ain't addictive. It's a non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drug. It just seems that folks are having a noticeable number of acute myocardial infarctions taking VIOXX; clearly an unwanted side effect. A few other noteworthy unwanted side effects are Upper Respiratory Infection - Hypertension - Diarrhea - Nausea - Back Pain - Headache. What Rush was taking was addictive & regardless of personality type. Anyone who takes addictive drugs long enough becomes physically addicted. And trust me, chronic pain is debilitating to every aspect of your life. I don't doubt for a second that if I found something that relieved the pain, I would not want to quit taking it. And I have long held the view that drugs should be used only if there are no other reasonable alternatives, or at least as a supplement to other remedies. You'd be surprised at the long term effects of taking certain prescription medications that only mask the symptoms of what you are currently suffering from. FWIW, chronic pain is like being constantly tortured, except no one can see it happening.
