Yes, I have pain pills and I've noticed the same thing. I have something that isn't as addictive, but I've read they still can be. I told the psychiatrist about how they make me feel better. She says as a psychiatrist she can't prescribe those and made no comment about how they help. Anyway, I'm terrified of addiction since my mom had that problem. They sit in my cubbard. I only take one if I actually have pain, and I avoid doing stuff so I don't need to take them. My regular doc said don't take them everyday. I rarely take one.
