Re: Hopefully Parsons can get some help now...

Gotta disagree a little....I (and I would be bet some other people on this board) have been guilty of continuing to take prescribed pain medicine after the pain was gone, simply because there were a few more pills at the bottom of the bottle. A drug-induced sleep feels pretty darn good.

Mountain-

I hear what you are saying...the behavior you are referring to is addictive in nature. My point from the post was not to bash CP or say I am almighty because I made the choices I did, but rather to say you pay for your actions...as unfortunate as they be.

vicodin makes me nauseous at times, but i always save it. not sure if it "goes bad" not?

Its so easy for these things to be abused. There are a lot of people with already "addictive personalities" that latch on to any vice, something especially addictive can be very bad.

These pain medications are especially troubling. People take them too long simply because they can, people save extras and self-prescribe them when they are unnecessary.

Are people still upset with the poster who initially provided accurate information about Parsons' situation?

people just need to learn who to believe on any message boards, just as people need to learn to not post unverified info.

I've got a GIANT bottle of Valium enhanced cough syrup that I got when I had bronchitis last January...like enough that I would feel really guilty for getting rid of it. I figure that if I get that sick again, at least I've got it.

One thing about my disorder...addiction tends to go hand in hand with it. That's why so many adults with untreated AD/HD are drug users or alcoholics.

I basically think people take this site to be waaaaay more important than it really is. It's a fans site...a great one...but still, just a fans site. I would not make it out to be anything more than that. Post unverified info...sure...that's what fans do on sites like this!

Re: Hopefully Parsons can get some help now...

well thats fine, but you shouldnt jeopardize the reputation of someone while doing it. otherwise, any speculation is certainly ok.

Sure. With players it's a slippery slope.

Whenever I got my paws on Vicodin, I smoke it whole in a pipe. Jesus, you're wigged before you even finish exhaling.
