When it comes to addicting medications, every doctor/psychiatrist is different and will prescribe different things, and have their medications they like to use and don't like etc. And as humans they may prescribe a certain patient the same medication they refused to prescribe another patient etc etc. Now everyone knows that is pretty common to see certain kids that are prescribed usually ritalin and other amphetamines from a young age despite of it being a schedule 2.
Next benzos, as the years go on by they are becoming more tighter and stricter on prescribing benzos from personal experience many doctors/psychiatrists do not like to prescribe these especially compared to how they did in the 70's 80's and while it is true, that benzos have withdrawals that can be worse than meth, heroin and equivalent to alcohol (the two legal drugs how ironic). Also many won't prescribe a new patient (especially these days) them for long term for whatever reason even if the patient needs it, and they are harder to get in general especially the younger you are.
Finally opiates, from my opinion other than if you get in an accident, major injury/surgery, or are a bit older with a chronic pain condition (that can be proved typically through xrays etc) it's very hard to obtain a prescription for opiates long term. In my understanding they are thought to be the most abused and "liked" for it's effects compared to amphetamines and benzos. If you go to your doctor/psychiatrist and complain about severe pain in your back or wherever else a lot of them will tell you to go to a pain specialist/or get x rays rather than just writing a script of anything other than a one or two time low 5/500 vicodin prescription. While you can get amphetamines much easier, and 50/50 on the benzos, opiates are hard to get. The only people i know who have been prescribed long term recreational dosages of opiates are usually older people, and people with proven injuries/disorders. If you find the right psychiatrist you might be able to get amphetamines/benzos seperately or at the same time (which is getting harder these days, since drug addiction has become so much more public and aware now) it's not the same thing with opiates.
As a young 21 year old, i am prescribed a low dose of benzos which i do not abuse and refuse to increase the dosage if they say somehow lose effect, got it pretty easily just told the psychiatrist the truth, same with adderall at a pretty high dose again explained symptoms and problems. I do use those recreationally because i find amphetamines equally if not more damaging than opiates in the long term so i avoid that, but i don't think their would be anything i could say or do that would get the opiates prescribed unless as stated before i had proven pain problems, so that would be pushing my luck.
I feel that being prescribed prescription drugs that you really do need or even can live without but would rather use recreationally is much safer than dabbling with street drugs. Majority of alcoholics become that way because of underlying anxiety and depression issues, i hardly drink anymore and function better daily without all those worries and fears but still cope with occassional anxiety.. When your mood is so low, and you literally have no motivation or hope on a day to day basis and can't complete tasks etc, amphetamine helps tremendously (as long as not being abused). A low dose of some sort of opiates may or may not help some people stay away from harder opiates that are illegal like any other drug not prescribed which presents a huge issue in itself, and usually resorts to a person trying more dangerous things like iv heroin.
Personally as a recreational drug user who doesn't do much anymore, i've realized that obviously doctors/psychiatrists can limit your dosages on addictings meds and even your quantity, if you abuse the hell out of them, well you will be the one suffering waiting weeks for your next refill every time and will hopefully learn from it (something i've never done but could imagine is helpful in a way) When past psychiatrists refused to treat my daily anxiety attacks, and overall nervousness it only led to me chasing after alcohol and other drugs to relieve it which could of made it the situation much worse if i didn't use self control, I don't crave the evil drug meth much anymore because of all the trouble it causes but would rather responsiibly limit my prescribed amphetamine dose (taking it even less than what i should be) and i don't think a low amount of low dose codeine, morphine or whatever else would hurt either, but i'm sure many people are going to disagree with my thread. All i'm saying is many psychiatrists/doctors refusing to prescribe medications that a patient really needs or may not even at lower doses/quantities could prevent rampant addiction spreading around atleast in my case, it limits me from chasing around dangerous illegal drugs and i gain self control with my meds. Hell, i think even if i could only 15 somas per month which isn't even opiate it would prevent me from even ever thinking about finding or looking for dangerous pills off the street illegally.
I'm just saying their should be some rules and regulations but i do think that certain medications should be easier to access, too much tightness is only causing more and more people everyday to become addicted to much stronger drugs off the street, and many more overdoses as well. I don't think psychiatrists/doctors should just write someone an oxy 80mg for back pain with 120 quantity. But i do think people should be able to get tylenol 3's 4's, vicodins, low doses of opiates with a certain quantity without all the difficulties. In my experiences personally i crave and abuse less and less drugs when i am legally prescribed a certain dose and certain amount, but i'm not sure if it's the same with everyone.
