What other harmless pills people enjoy a lot?

I never took pain killers before. I was prescribed some for after my wisdom tooth was removed, and now I get why ppl like them so much.

Nothing is harmless. Opiates can be very addictive and cause alot of issues. I worked in a pharmacy for 13 years. Many of my customers were addicts and I saw painkillers lead to death for a few of them, all decent normal people who enjoyed popping pills( legally). All had some legitimate pain at some point but became increasingly dependent on those little pain killers.

@Dan193 Depends on the type of pain and if it is short term or long term. Somethings won't work on certain types of pain. Pain pills are OK in moderation for the short term but should be avoided in older folks. I saw Drs just write these prescriptions willy nilly and I saw some people become quickly very addicted and some of them didn't realize that they were addicted screaming at us for more pills.

Other non narcotic methods are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, topical pain relievers, massage, heat/cold but non of these worklike narcotics.
