Painkillers can lead to drug dependence, addiction when taking the drug, and pain once the drug is stopped...... In hospitals, patients often complain to their doctors, believing that painkillers will cause drug dependence, that taking drugs will be addictive, and that they will be in pain once they stop taking them.
Actually, this view is wrong. Pain relievers are divided into nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids. NSAIDs work by inhibiting cyclooxygenase in the body and reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby acting as pain relief. These drugs do not create drug dependence and are not addictive. Opioids act as a pain reliever by stimulating opioid receptors in the central nervous system. These drugs can create drug dependence, but they are not addictive.
Drug dependence refers to the physical and psychological dependence of the body on the drug after long-term use of a drug, and once the drug is stopped, there will be a series of physical discomfort and psychological reactions. Drug dependence is divided into physical dependence and psychological dependence. Physical dependence is when the body becomes tolerant to the drug and needs to increase the dose of the drug to achieve the pain relief effect. Psychological dependence refers to the patient's strong craving for drugs, and once the drug is stopped, symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, and insomnia will occur.
Painkillers can create drug dependence, but they are not addictive. The use of painkillers needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor and cannot be purchased and used on your own. If you need to use painkillers, it is recommended that you consult a professional doctor to choose the appropriate medication and dosage according to the doctor's advice to avoid the occurrence of drug dependence.
