A member asked:

First off iv never used any kind of drugs or alcohol but i seem to be immune to pain pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: There is genetic variability in response to pain medications. Some medications don't work on some people. I have yet to meet a patient who fails to respond to at least one medication. Have your doctor try different medications.
