How Can I Talk My Dad Out of Taking Pain Pills?
Question by Kenneth M: How can I talk my dad out of Taking Pain Pills?
I am trying to give my dad a good “Talk” about pain pills. Because he has pretty much become addicted. He’s a senior citizen & he takes Tramadol, he actually takes the MAXIMUM! amount the Laws will allow him to take. Even more some times. He takes more than 10 a day, maybe 12 or something. And has been taking them for about 9 years.
I am very concerned about his health. What are a bunch of facts, & just information that I can Relay to my father to get him to think about this, & hopefully reconsider this.
Thankyou!
