She is 21. Dropped out of college. Thinks Covid is the worst thing ever and recently got a booster shot. The issue is she is in a lot of pain from another problem (too much to explain here) and the pain meds they are giving here is Opioids. She is taking 6 to 8 a day and im worried she is becoming and addict. She claims the pain is so bad she can barely get out of bed, which is her excuse for not working. But I know she goes out fine and hangs with her BF on a norm. I just fear for her mental and physical health. It feels like the enemy owns my daughter.

I would also suggest that she taper off, and also ask her prescriber to give supplemental meds for the process like Zofran and Clonidine. These will help lessen the side effects of withdrawal. Believe me, they are nasty. I was on opioids for several months after back surgery. I know first hand.
