A member asked:
Why can i not get higher doses of painkillers over the counter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many painkillers are: potentially addictive or lethal in high doses, therefore, they are highly regulated. If you are not getting relief, speak to a physician to find out why you are in so much pain. Get the cause treated. If the doctors cannot alleviate it enough consider learning hypnosis for pain management. It is easy to learn, is not addictive and can be very helpful.
