Pain Addiction - Pain Killers Can Help And Hurt If Abused
Pain Killers can be life-saving or life-taking!
They are used for all sorts of ailments from headaches and insect bites to chronic arthritis and post-surgical pain. Commonly known as analgesics, pain relievers are drugs used to suppress pain mechanism; there are basically two categories in pain killers: Narcotic and Non-narcotic.
Non-narcotic drugs are mostly sold over the counter, the most familiar examples would be aspirin and ibuprofen which we use for everyday headaches and fevers. These medicines however have a major side effect of thinning the blood; which can cause clotting hazards!
The other kind that is the Narcotic drugs are the stronger kind and should be taken with a doctor's prescription as they directly affect the brain and central nervous system. These medicines contain highly addictive drugs like opium, morphine and heroin; as such patients put on these medicines should be carefully monitored to check for early signs of addiction and drug seeking. Some examples of Narcotic drugs are Valium which is used for treating anxiety, insomnia, seizures and muscle spasms; and Celebrex which is used to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and acute pain. Though these pain killers help a lot to ease pain but they have a negative side as well.
