Opioids
are drugs that act on the nervous system to relieve pain. Continued use
and abuse can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms.
People also ask
What kind of drugs are opioids?
Examples of opioids are: Painkillers such as; morphine, methadone, Buprenorphine, hydrocodone, and oxycodone. Heroin is also an opioid and is illegal. Opioid drugs sold under brand names include: OxyContin®, Percocet®, Palladone®(taken off the market 7/2005), Vicodin®, Percodan®, Tylox® and Demerol® among others.
I provided this list because many people don't know they are taking opioids because they only know the name of the drug they are taking but not what it is or what it does with alcohol.
Once again, don't take any of the above drugs with alcohol and then go to sleep unless you want to die because likely you will.
