Based on what he emphasizes on his website, it is rather unfortunate that many people have been addicted to pain medication. This kind of affinity is not encouraging. Doctor Brian has stated what could make people not be inclined towards taking pain medicine all the time, such as;
- Taking at a time only the prescribed pain or analgesic medicine.
- Following strict instructions or orders of the physician.
According to Dr Brian Blick, relying on and taking pain medication all the time is an indication of being addicted to it. If you happen to be addicted, there are ways to recover from it.
Firstly, you need to accept that you are addicted to a pain reliever or tranquilizer and want to be helped get out of it. And having sought help from an Anesthesiologist who would normally prescribe appropriate medicine and how to use it on a regular basis, you would have to ensure you take to this advice or prescription.
It is also imperative that you understand the risk involved in taking an analgesic substance or drug. Some of these risks, which Dr Brian Blick has explained thoroughly, are;
- Tolerance or liberality.
- Physical dependence.
- Consuming more than necessary (overdose).
Explaining these briefly, Dr Brian Blick says that a person would be tending towards his limit (tolerance) when he can only get desired impact or effect of a drug by taking more than a dosage at a time. And where such a patient is getting used to taking medicine all the time, he has developed a physical dependence on the medicine. This is when such a person has started getting addicted to the medicine. Where the drug is not available, such a patient would start showing some withdrawal symptoms.Dr Brian Blick maintains that such a patient would always want to take an overdose of the medicine. And he would be experiencing the serious effect of overdose.
