Right so how do we manage this? In this country they mix codeine and paracetomol in a cunning ploy to prevent the codeine doing anything, since paracetomol is dangerous, but codeine not particularly. I think there needs to be a shift away from the notion that the greatest harm a Dr can do is make a patient an addict. In my view there is greater harm, viz removing one's sex life, causing weight gain and even diabetes, and worst of all allowing a hypocampus-shrinking condition like depression to continue
