Tylenol isn't addictive. Every opiate is. Even as an alcoholic having to get surgery terrifies me because of how addictive opiates is and that is all doctors push now-a-days.

eta this is nothing to do with purity of the product. I never heard of someone selling themselves for Tylenol/acetaminophen

That is an oversimplification, and there are many studies out there proving that people receiving opiates at the hospital do not get psychologically addicted to it, if you are talking about that.

And surely I am not alone with not experiencing euphoria from opiates. It is probably a low % of people though, I do not deny that.

> purity of the product

Overdoses and negative public perception does have to do with that though.

Are you sure you are not addicted to opiates?

[johnisgood]

Physically I am (although not at the moment). Psychologically, I am not. I just have an aversion to pain, depression, anxiety, and incontinence. If you love any of these things, you do you.

If you are asking because I mentioned lack of euphoria, then no. I NEVER experienced euphoria from opiates, ever. Not even the first time I have taken it, and I did take enough of a dose that should have given me euphoria or the feeling of warmth and bliss which I have never experienced.

Why? There could be many reasons, but I suspect it has to do a lot with how psychiatric medications have messed with my brain AND I have brain lesions due to MS.
