I think if you know you have addiction to other substances, you need to let your physician know that, and you need to be exposed to the medicine only as long as you're experiencing the pain. If you take anyone who's on one of these narcotics for three or four weeks, they will become dependent. They may not show the psychological manifestations of addiction, but they will be physiologically dependent. So the message is, if you need the pain medicine, take it, but stop taking it when you're no longer feeling pain.
