A great deal depends upon the nature of the pain and it's cause.
There are circumstances when opioids are prescribed, but great care must be taken when prescribing them as they are addictive in their very nature, and accidental overdosing can have fatal consequences.
I think you really do need to broaden your comments Josie, and explain why you are being prescribed these drugs (that is if you are), and give details of exactly which medication you have been taking and for how long a period.

I would seriously avoid narcotics, for many many reasons! From what I gather about this horrible condition, pain meds are not the answer. The only one my doc will prescribe for me is amitriptylene, more for sleep than pain. I have read that people are on truckloads of pain killers, with horrible side effects, and are still in pain! It seems that things like pacing, meditation, relaxation, mindfulness, warm water therapy, CBT are all the way forward.
Take care, Anne
