I had a tooth surgically removed a few years back, took 90 min, and I got strong paracetamol and even a small pack of morphine.
I never used the morphine, I keep it sealed at home if I need it.

It’s probably expired.

Oh absolutely, that doesn’t mean it won’t work though, probably less effective though…

We kept my wife’s after she had our baby until one of my cousins casually asked if we still had it. We tossed it so quick and got worried someone might be addicted and would find it in our bathroom mirror thing.
The smart thing might have been to stash it somewhere else to have it in case we end up in an natural disaster or something you always see the people in the movies going through houses finding useful meds. But we just got worried

With a reaction like that I suspect there was some other indicators as well.
I know I have a bit of an addictive personality, I actively refuse gambling since I know I can get caught up in it.
I did open the package up, I wanted to see the mythical pills, but I felt uncomfortable with the package being unsealed and wanted a bigger barrier to have to pass through if I wanted the pills. So I resealed the pack with tape and have had no issues since.
As for right now, they are only for when I am in so much pain that I can’t do anything useful.
None in my family has ever asked about it other than to check up on me when I first got it, I live alone so it is a valid concern.
I got it back in 2020/2021 and it remains resealed and unused.
