Same here. I had ruptured a disc in my neck and had surgery. They gave me tylenol w/ codiene, A week after surgey, I went for followup, doc asked if I needed more pain meds, I said no. She kept asking "are you sure?" She then asked when I wanted to go back to work. I told her I already had, she was not happy about that!

ManyMoose, I would say that most prescription drugs have found heir way to the streets, in varying degrees of purity.

Quaalude is a classic example. It once was a respected sedative, said to be nonaddictive. However, it was found to be highly addictive and has not been available as a mainstream pharmaceutical for decades. The streets are another story.

I have never had much relief with codeine-containing drugs. I am one of those oddballs (or so I am told) who manage to achieve complete pain relief with many of the the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Throw in a little Flexeril (a muscle relaxant) and I come close to what must be Heaven. - Holly
