Opiate based pain killer

Recently, during recovery from a car accident, I took Norco for two months (about 160 doses) which is an opiate based, prescription pain killer. Everything is better on Norco. I was angry for three weeks when my prescription ran out and if I really think about it, I am STILL angry.

 There was a fairly recent research study in England (London) where Heroin addicts were just given Heroin supplied by the government. It was found that they were generally able to get a job and maintain a regular life as long as they had a consistent and reliable source. It was actually the scramble on the black market to find supply, that took so much time and was disruptive to leading a regular life. (Sorry no time to find references, but if you are real interested, I am sure you can find a description of the study online "somewhere").
