Very good question.I did some research on the effects on the brain. Over the 6 yrs of use i don't think there will be anything permanent damage. 16 days clean damn bad day today had no motivation just wanted to go home and work.
When I was seeking movie from the pain in my back neck and shoulders. I knew this narcotic was addictive. At that time it was so what.
Had I known I would also be slowly losing my soul.
