    From the UK, had an operation and got given 10 codeine phosphate 30mg. Then went to the doctor who gave me 120 more. I was then hooked and went through a stage of CWE (Cold water extraction) with over the counter ones. Then the darkweb and eventually Xanax.

      That’s pretty irresponsible of them giving you 120. When I was given codeine they point blank refused to give me anything other than a weeks supply, if I needed more after that I had to go back to the hospital to get reassessed.

      • I agree. In the end I had to get the doctors to put a note on my account that said whatever i said don’t give me opiates.

        If I recall when I was prescribed that amount he was going to give me 60 but asked if I paid for my prescription and as I said yes he doubled the dose. I guess to try save me money. Which is ironic cause I spend a fortune on the darkweb.

        I’ve got another operation booked soon and I am worried they will prescribe me again.

      CWE

      The Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) is a category system for hardware and software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It is sustained by a community project with the goals of understanding flaws in software and hardware and creating automated tools that can be used to identify, fix, and prevent those flaws.[1] The project is sponsored by the office of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which is operated by The MITRE Corporation,[2] with support from US-CERT and the National Cyber Security Division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.[3][4]

        It’s actually getting more difficult in the US.

        Opioid painkillers can now only be given at hospitals or prescribed by surgeons or pain specialists. The GP or Urgent Care center can’t do it.

        It’s been a real problem for me. I do understand and agree with the rule change on a societal level, but when my back gets truly bad, I really do need an Oxy. Usually, it just takes one pill along with some steroids and anntiinflamatories to start the healing process and allow me to start walking to the toilet again, but to get that one pill, I now have to go to the ER and pay $4,000.

          A team of researchers in my country is working on a chronic pain treatment that does away with painkillers for life. They tested on rats and dogs they started trials of humans this year I think. Backed by the government obviously no farmaceutcal put a dime on it afaik.
