Hi all,

I hope everyone is OK this evening and had a decent enough day?

What I really don’t get, is why GPs keep prescribing them month after month? I had my hip replaced and got 2 weeks of tablets, when I broke my leg I got a big pack of I think 100 tramadol but that was it. GPs know they are addictive so not sure what the thinking behind them is.

I also do not understand how NP, Solpadiene an panadeine etc are sold OTC. I think they are banned in Australia but it just seems so risky as we all know.

End of rant 🙂
