How painful is endometriosis? are pain pills usually prescribed on a regular basis for treatment? My friend has endometriosis.i just want to learn more about it.she's had an existing "pill popping" problem.she is taking a few other medications for depression and anxiety.now she is getting zanox as well.she says that her doctors are monitoring her medication.but, I cant help but wonder how much of the medication she really needs..versus how much of it is legitimate.she pretty much sleeps all day.and is always very loopy on the phone.she is seeing a gyn/obgyn, family doctor, and a phychitrist.but, how do i know she is truly being honest with all these doctors about her previous history?and is all the medication truly necessary? I am not 100% sure. please have someone write me back. thanks for your time.
