Hi Barb,
Yes you are right, It's 2005 not 1905 unfortunatly, no more 'mrs winslows powered opium syrup' and the like OTC anymore.
I have an acquantance who has suffered from Psychiatric 'issues' for several years, shes about 27, and had every
anti psychotic
anti depressant
lithium
and more, thrown at her, often at high doses. these seem to have not helped. after trying Methadone, 15mgs she felt more benefit than from said meds, so It seems she has suffered enought for the'medical profession' to allow her to have it legally (after saying she was buying it from the black market).She feels 'normal' on it, a term heard so often from thoes with mental 'issues' who respond well to Opiates/Opiods.
It is time this "gravely ignored field" was reopened, with respect to other conditions, than sever PHYSICAL ONLY Pain.
