When I broke up with my first ex, I was very depressed and just didn’t know how to deal with it. I moved back with my parents, struggled to find a job and my mood drove my so called friends away. I’m glad that my family doctor took the time to ask about certain events and such and was able to refer me to a counsellor. It only took 1 session with the guy to figure out that what I was going through was completely normal and showed me how to find constructive ways to cope with all the changes. No pills were needed and I eventually got better.

With heroin assisted treatment aka HAT they found that 87% of those going into treatment stayed in treatment, Compared to just 54% of people going onto methadone assisted treatment. That is a 33% higher rate who stay in treatment right here alone, They also found that 67% of those on HAT stopped using illicit drugs. Compared to only 47% of those on methadone assisted treatment, There is also the fact that HAT treatment cost's a few grand LESS per patient per year in comparison to methadone per year (Suboxone costs even more then methadone ) So its cheaper and more effective at keeping people in treatment and works better at keeping them off illicit drugs and though I could not find any statistics off hand on its relation to crime and the judicial system. Simple fact if they are staying in treatment and not using illicit drugs that will mean less addicts out committing crimes, Which equals less being arrested and less being wasted to convict them and lock them up. So of coarse we here in the US are going to completely ignore following what other countries have done regarding using heroin for treatment and instead will use taxpayers $$$ so the pharmaceutical companies can make new patent protected formulations which don't work as effectively and are all around worse for the people taking them ................................

I worked in a hospital for 18 years, and I can honestly say that most doctors don't care about what's best for the patient, they just want to get you in and get you out, then go to the next patient. They may not harm that patient in that one visit, but long-term, they don't care. They care about doing their job well enough to keep that job so that they can provide for themselves the life they desire, which often times is very luxurious. And I'll add that it isn't just doctors with this attitude, it's the whole damn healthcare industry, from the hospital CEO to the housekeeper cleaning rooms. At the end of the day, the patient isn't on their mind, it's their own livelihood that matters. Assembly-line medicine is what I call it.

@Sketch1994

Actually AFTER my surgery it SLIGHTLY decreased pain... When the pain came back a few months later I took the maximum dose of paracetamol, ibuprofen, metamizole, diclofenac, etoricoxib, naproxen, meloxicam, celecoxib and parecoxib along with 3 different muscle relaxants (thiocolchicoside which is horrible, orphenadrine and even diazepam). It wasn't until I took Tramadol... A "safer" opioid that sometimes worked and other times would send me into serotonin crazy land. It wasn't until I was prescribed codeine that I somehow got my life back but in my country it's prescription only and right of the start I sometimes need the 60mg maximum just to sleep without jumping from the fusion pain, especially when it's stormy. I was never tempted to take more than I needed and when I had a low pain day I just didn't take any and lying in bed sober and pain free felt awesome. Unfortunately I can't always have both with my condition.

I am two years clean next month, and it can happen to nearly anyone. I feel like hydrocodone is safer for those with no addiction potential, but the oxy and pharmaceutical fent is where the problem is. I have had multiple prescriptions for hydrocodone years before for a dislocated jaw and wisdom tooth extraction with no problem. Putting them in a junk drawer for months while forgetting about them was easy and mindless. It was the time when I was given oxy that did it in and led me to other types of medication. Mental health has a lot to do with addiction, and a pain doctor or regular physician cannot determine the risk for underlying issues like that. I agree with Dr. Phil for a lot of what he is saying, but we also need to realize that some people are working more intense jobs. It is easy for him to say ice and Tylenol are sufficient for a job where he sits or stands for work. Many people are hurt on a job and cannot be out of work for long periods of time. Construction jobs are hard on the body, and money talks. Opioids make you work harder and longer, and that is appealing to many. The grass is always greener, and the prescriptions have benefits to both parties.

@DR.64A9

You're spot on about hydrocodone. This should be the go to pain med for wisdom teeth and other minor surgery. I was given oxy 10's for my wisdom teeth. Two years later I'm using dope. Hydrocodone is not nearly as powerful and still effective.

This Dr.phil seems like an extremely likeable dude

I've experienced just the opposite. A couple of years ago I had a fractured arm and then a difficult root canal a few months later and in both cases, the only pain med I could get was Tylenol 3. The doctors felt pressured to not give me even 3 days worth of a stronger opioid. I hope after this insanity clears up, we'll once again gravitate to a happy medium.

The talk about adderall or ritalin really resonates with me. I was diagnosed with ADD over a 1month testing period. I was finally given the medication and it made me tired almost it took my energy level down to about a 5 from a 10 exactly the opposite of what stimulants are supposed to do. There is a clear cut difference between people who need them and people who don't and how they actually affect people. One of my friends in 5th grade when on the medication around the same time and it drove him into a frenzy he was off the walls and had energy for days the medication affected him completely different.

The question is about opioids, but the anecdote Dr. Phil dishes out is about SRIs, not oxy. The crisis is Fentanyl. He completely mixes pain meds with mental health meds. It is tragic to hear someone with his reach of communication totally ignoring the plight of chronic pain patients, patients whose diagnosis goes way beyond a six minute office visit. Many, if not most chronic pain patients have gone through an exhaustive array of pain modalities before the prescription for meds are written sometimes after months of physical therapy. Please don’t throw out the baby (those who need meds to control pain) with the bath water.

It's assholes like Dr. Phil that think they know everything that make life difficult for people that need drugs to just get out of bed because of arthritis and ten other ailments you deal with on a daily basis.

tobey maguire's dog I’m not saying there is not an issue. The problem is they throw a blanket policy over everyone who takes them. So, unless you are in that category, nobody cares what you think. That’s the entire problem with the world today, if you are not in said situation you have no idea how that effects you.

As someone who has tried several medications for my depression they scare the shit out of me. Several therapists have told me after I said I just want to be happy that I definitely need medication. The numbness I felt on those meds was terrifying I’ll never try them again!

Ive been suffering w excruciating pain for years ..pain medication from my pain doctor is the only thing that has helped...So there are people out here that have benefits from pain medicine that other solutions couldnt...There are people that have positive situations...Not eveyone is a person that abuses this medicine....The people that do abuse these type of medications make it harder on patients that really need them.

no one in your position is trying to abuse medication. abuse comes from ignorance. ignorance is the lack of knowledge, the knowledge the doctors medicating the patients should impart onto them. But they do not, they fill their scripts, get paid and get patients unknowingly hooked. Your anecdotal evidence does not mean anything, especially when you try to act higher than others that are now addicted to opoids. For sure there are people that do not get hooked on opoids. But how do you know you're not hooked? How long have you been on them? If you stopped taking them for a few days or a week, how would that go? I wish you the best bro but have a little more sense when you post online.

fentanyl isnt the "new thing" so much as what we, in the opiate community, refer to as "Fentadope" - which is Heroin cut with Fentanyl. And thats actually what most heroin in the past 10 years has been cut with for a while now. most real heroin now is just weak Dope. The New thing if there is one, is fentalogues - essentially, research chemical-opiates .. Man-made syntheses of Fentanyl with small changes to the chemical structure that greatly change the effect/half-life/feeling of the drug... so thats the new thing, is the hundreds of analogs of Fentanyl going around the world.

This Dr phil is awesome Phil. I dig it. he needs a podcast.

Hes right about many people not needing the meds they are on. Im an opiate addict and the pills we used to get were always from older people with poor health that didnt take their pain pills or didnt take as much as they were prescribed.

Dr Phil had minor orthoscopic surgery and says "you only need one pill," what a joke. This is the problem with opioid discussions, they are being discussed by doctors with no life experience of their own in regards to chronic pain that cannot be medically fixed. I broke every bone from my pelvis down in over 30 places and to date, I've had 16 "major" surgeries just to put me back together. The pain that never ends and gets to levels one could never image is what nearly killed me, not the pills. Don't get me wrong, there are many people that abuse stuff like Percocet which is a horrible drug with horrible side effects for what started as a minor pain issue and can't stop taking it. The thing that most people that do this don't know is their back pain isn't from work or lifting something, it's from withdrawals so they take more pills. I was off and on over the years and even I didn't realize this until years later. I also went more than a few years of just complete misery due to pain all because doctors don't believe anyone has real pain anymore. It's hard to fathom what nonstop massive pain is like until you've walked in those shoes. This needs to be addressed as welll instead of just cutting everyone off or like Dr. Phil said, "give them a three day fill," that's complete bullshit. There's also the issue of people that just want to get high, regardless of how and there are lots of those people. I'm not an addictive type person and actually hate feeling less than myself except when needed. Don't put the chronic pain people in a death spiral to save the shitheads that are going to get high one way or another is all I'm saying.

Dr. Phil isn't a doctor.

Joe "yeah that's crazy, but have you tried DMT" Rogan

He is right. I have first hand experience with being in institutions in the 80s (and later) and the dependency DOCTORS have on prescribing away ills started then or before then. They dosed patients with haldol and thorazine to keep us all calm. Usually after showing us a movie like Pink Flamingo, Friday the 13th, The Wall, I could name more.

Went to a psychologist a couple months ago to prescribe me melatonin pills for insomnia and to get off my Xanax and find an alternative. He saw me less than five minutes and ended up prescribing me both Xanax and HEAVY old school anti depressants. Long story short I never visited him again. I fixed my sleeping schedule by having a consistent program and putting my body in schedule. It's crazy to me that he saw me less than five minutes, we didn't even discuss much about my life story and he just prescribed me heavy old school anti depressants. How? And why? And this is why Dr. Phil is correct on this. Some doctors don't even bother too much. They write down a prescription, get your money and.. adios!

I had shoulder surgery as well, Phil. I'm curious as to what you had done exactly because it must not have been what I had done because I was on pain meds for 9 months (very necessarily) by the time I told my doctor I didn't want them anymore.

“Soccer mom heroin addicts.” -Dr. Phil

The response to the opoid epidemic almost killed me the Hospital Doctors cut my pain medicine because they were afraid of prescribing opoids. Meanwhile I have a broken spine and on my 4th back surgery and crying and suffering with little to no pain management because iddiots drug addicts and drug companies.

@arjanpetersen

Most probably you have been better off then. Good doctors.

Don't watch much Dr Phil, but I perhaps had misjudged him a bit - very good discussions and it's clear he is smart and cares.

All it took for me was 2 weeks of taking Hydrocodone to become physically addicted. Withdrawal at 2 weeks was excruciating and withdrawal at 5 years makes you wish you were dead just to stop the pain and restlessness. Lucky for me I got off of them with the help of Suboxone treatment but, I feel for the people that are stuck on the pills or even worse heroin.

Every time I've watched a Dr Phil episode Ive reached for my medication...

JRE episode 539 with Cara Santa Maria is still among, my top five Rogan episodes, helping to break down, how the brain responds, to treatment, for depression and mental health. That episode, is what inspired me, to return to talk therapy, for my own issues I was dealing with, at the time. It gave me a far greater understanding and perspective, on depression and mental health. While I don't disagree that we definitely tend to overmedicate, I think it's important to acknowledge the validity of antidepressants, for people who need them. I've been fortunate enough to have not required medication, for my own mental health challenges. I responded well, to talk therapy. Not everyone does, or at least not on the first go. I do believe talk therapy is 100% vital, in a balanced mental health plan, but I acknowledge that it's difficult, and it someone needs a prozac to get them through the days, until they reach a point where they can fleece out their issues, in talk therapy, I support them.

Back in 2008 I had an operation on my neck (cervical stenosis w/ 3 herniated discs from my C3-C6 cervical area), due to years of heavy weightlifting. Prior to my operation I was getting tingly and numbness in my left arm, and knew where I was heading if I didn't get the operation--a wheelchair. Anyway, the first 2 months after my surgery were about as hellish as anyone can imagine, and my neurologist who did the surgery prescribed Percocet. They definitely helped with the pain, but before long my body had quickly built up a tolerance, and I began taking the Percs like candy. When I finished my prescription, I naively said to myself, "I need to get a refill on my Percs" and was told by the pharmacy that my due date was over a week away! And because I've never done Heroin, I had no idea the horror that was about to hit me: WITHDRAWAL. For 2 days, it felt like I had THE worst-ever flu, then multiply it by 3X! I was sweating like crazy, my legs couldn't stay still. Fucking awful experience. When I finally recovered, the withdrawal was SO horrible that I decided to stop cold turkey. So I can definitely see HOW big of an epidemic opioids have become in the US.

About 15 years ago I was having a very low moment and I couldn't pinpoint the reasons as it was out of character for me, but I certainly knew something wasn't right. I decided to go to a Doctor close by. The scary thing is what Dr Phil said here was literally word for word what I experienced. I was immediately prescribed Prozac. I took one and felt so zonked out that I threw the rest away and decided if I have to battle through it without medication then that was how it was going to be. Maybe that medication works for some people, but it absolutely did not for me. What got me through was talking to friends honestly about how I felt and finding positive activities to keep me on the path back to where i was before. Very concerning how even today those meds are dished out like candy for tricka treat

While I sometimes have a hard time listening to either one of these guys, together there is a compelling dynamic between the two.

And you are right. I m taking it for pain. And have to go to other places to meet my needs.for proper pain managment ie the streets.

The opiod epidemic has more casualties then just the people who have sadly passed away or are using it as a vehicle to get high. I'm disabled. I have a laundry list of things wrong with me, ICU stays, surgeries, blood transfusions, etc(it's a LONG list). Anyway, this has really effected me greatly. Let me say that all the new rules, I'm fine with, for example: I take a drug test monthly to make sure there isn't anything there not prescribed. I have to bring all my meds into my monthly appts to check I have the correct amout of pills I should for that time in the month. That's totally fine. The fact meds have been taken away from me I need to just get to half the function of a nornal healthy adult is hard. My pain effects everyone around me. They don't get a person who can do all or even half the stuff a normal mom, wife, daughter, friend etc, can do. They are constantly changing the rules on all levels of all the hoops my dr & I have to jump through to keep me functioning on a minimal level. I live with a constant fear they are going to get totally taken away. To try & fix it they have lumped everyone into 2 categories. Cancer patients who get any & all the drugs they want & everyone else they are taking away more & more daily. If they aren't taking them away they change what my insurance pays for or will authorize I have, even if I'm willing to pay. Last month just 4 of my meds alone where more then my entire disability check. I didn't want to ask my husband or dad to pay for them & it was extremely stressful, depressing, it was verybhard for me when I found this out. After years of trying diff stuff my dr and I had FINALLY come across a few meds that we got the group & dose perfect that for that one issue FINALLY made me feel closer to normal then I had felt in 2 decades. I got to feel that for only a month until they once again changed the rules. I cried & felt EXTREMELY stressed and overwhelmed for a month until my husband stepped & got them for me. I know that's what ppl are supposed to do, I just wanted my insurance or all MY medical stuff be taken care for by the benefits I have & am entitled to after working for so many years. It's just a real clusterfuck & lawmakers just making sweeping rule changes that take stuff away from everyone to make their constituents, who know really nothing about any of, happy & voting for them. I'm sorry this is so long but as a person right in the middle of how this effects so many ppl, I have a lot of very strong feelings.

i live in west virginia, this really hit home taking we have the most overdose deaths in the united states.

I was doing PT with a guy that had the same knee surgery but he had his 3 days before me. In PT he was complaining because the pain meds were not enough and we needed Oxycontin, the Nurse asked me if the pain meds were keeping up with my pain. . . I had ripped up the prescription without ever filling it, and was just taking ibuprofen and dealing with it fine. I always wondered if he was really in that much more pain, or if he was headed down that dark road.
