剧情简介

  《地平线系列:止痛药上瘾》是2020年的一部纪录片。由Michael Mosley联合主演的电影地平线系列:止痛药上瘾,又名Horizon:Addicted to Painkillers? Britain’s Opioid Crisis、Addicted to Painkillers? Britain's Opioid Crisis。In America it’s an epidemic. Now new evidence raises concern about the UK’s use of prescription opioids. Michael Mosley goes on an immersive journey to ask what can be done about it. The opioid epidemic has devastated America. But what’s the situation here? A new report from Public Health England raises serious concerns about Britain's own relationship with painkillers. Dr Michael Mosley embarks on an immersive journey to Britain’s opioid frontline and meets patients struggling with addiction and GPs fighting a constant battle to help those suffering from chronic pain. He also uncovers worrying evidence of people abusing over-the-counter opioids and discovers how easy it is to buy strong opioids online. Nearly six million people in England and Wales were prescribed an opioid last year. Michael wants to uncover how and why we’re consuming twice the amount of opioids as twenty years ago, especially when the scientific evidence he encounters disturbingly suggests that for the majority of people taking them for chronic pain, these drugs mostly don’t even work. Though a vital tool in our doctors’ armoury to combat acute pain and in cancer and end-of-life care, the Public Health England report revealed that more than half a million people have been on opioids for more than three years. Michael cautions that people taking these drugs should not suddenly stop taking them. Nevertheless, as he discovers, long term or high dose use does leave them exposed to greater risk of side effects including dependency, addiction and even accidental death by overdose. As many as 28 million Britons endure chronic pain - and if we’re to kick what seems like a dangerous national opioid habit, Michael believes that the critical issue is deprescribing. Millions now require help coming off opioids and drug-free alternatives to them. For Michael this is nothing short of a challenge as important as the fight against cancer and heart disease. So how much do people on the ground really know about these powerful painkillers, some of which, including fentanyl, can be many times stronger than heroin? On his travels, Michael meets Karen in Hastings who now believes her five years on increasingly strong opioids ‘turned her into a zombie’. But he also encounters Brenda in Salford who thinks the morphine she has taken for fifteen years to help with her excruciating back pain is the thing that makes her life just about bearable. And he spends time with Vicki whose 50+-a-day over-the-counter painkiller habit led to overdose and near death before she finally admitted her addiction and started detox.

影迷点评:
  American Eagle 说:Michael大叔再次登场讲解阿药的滥用。bbc生物健康类的纪录片从来少不了迈克大叔的身影。片子的亮点在于认识了n多种止痛药,羟考酮到盐酸吗啡到芬太尼。一个比一个厉害,长时间的生理依赖会导致极严重的问题。另一个提高情绪可以影响对疼痛的感知。片中的那位女士最后也终于戒断并且外出行走,很有决心。数百万的英国人在滥用止痛药,幸好现在限制了购买的容易度。片子很棒。
  漫步 说:这个片子似乎想要揭露止痛药被滥用的危害,可是又面临止痛药难以被代替的尴尬。它试图让一些人出来指责止痛药带来的副作用,可是同时又无法阻挡其他人觉得止痛药有用。 所以看完竟然还有觉得服用止痛药还是很有必要的,哪怕对有些人有比较大的副作用。毕竟整天疼痛是非常难以忍受的吧。 最后,地平线这个系列竟然没有完整按季打分的页面,都是零零碎碎的单集打分。
  Kk 说:很好!区分急性疼痛和慢性疼痛,以前看网飞纪录片认为cure pain这一行为是不对的,但当急性疼痛转变为慢性疼痛时,慢性疼痛本身成为了一种疾病(无患处的系统故障)。止痛药对慢性疼痛有效性仅为十分之一。另外,处在悲伤抑郁状态会加重疼痛感知,贫穷社区的恶性循环。
