givesomefucks,

You are going to be on some heavy painkillers for a little while. Really not a big deal,

For most people…

A small but significant amount of people metabolize opioids faster than they should.

So if they’re supposed to take a pill every 8 hours, they might get 2x as fucked up the first 4 and no pain relief for 4 hours till their next.

Which is like a recipe for prescription misuse and eventually opiod addiction. Especially when doctors up the dosage instead of spreading more pills throughout the day.
