I definitely think there's something to it. The one time I was exposed to a narcotic (post surgery), it wasn't for very long, but once I ran out I wanted more in the creepiest, most unnerving sense you can imagine. Addiction is not supposed to happen that fast, "take as directed, nothing will happen."

I thought I wanted it for pain, but I didn't; in the end, I swapped to the nsaid/acetomenophen thing with no pain issues, but I *still* wanted that feeling, or lack there of I guess.

Never want to go there again. Hate feeling out of control like that.
