A member asked:
Is it illegal to take prescribed pain killers after you're cured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Illegal: There is no law - about this except if you sell or share the meds with others. Its far safer for you to stop using the med if you do not need it. Also safely dispose of the med if not needed anymore.
