| HOLY SHIT, how the hell can one afford that? An 80mg pill is 800 bucks? I'm going to hate to see the price when it starts to dry up.
I was doing some quick reading and one couple were discussing on a forum(not here) how they were doing 3 or 4 of those 80mg tabs a day.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake....... |

Sorry-----1buck/mg. I have no doubt it will hit 10 soon. Even so--one pill is 80 bucks-----so 3 or 4 a day is expensive. |

You serious? I have a medicine cabinet filled with this stuff and something else called dilaudid.
Without going to into details, I was given morphine after a surgery. It worked for only 3 days then I was immune to it's effects and the pain was unbearable.
So they gave me oxycontin. This worked for about 3 days and then the pain was unbearable.
Then they gave me dilaudid. This worked for 3 days before the pain became unbearable.
They put me back on oxycontin and said you have a choice. A referral to some sort of pain specialist, or live with it. I decided to live with it and just filled out the prescriptions and never bothered taking them (hence why I have a lot in my medicine cabinet).
They said I'm unlucky to be one of those people whose body adjusts to pain meds after a couple of days. Then again, when they put me out for surgery I sat up while they dug into me and said it was a nice hole they made. They gave me more giggle-juice to put me out and when they were all done I sat up and said, I bet you thought I was out eh and laughed before I actually did pass out.
So this stuff doesn't have much use on me. But I know the effects.
Morphine + severe pain = Relaxation.
dilaudid + severe pain = numbness.
oxycontin +severe pain = moody and hyper
I think much of this is in peoples minds. Tell them it's an opioid and they want it and think they are high.
One thing I learned though, by accident... oxycontin + a couple of glasses of wine = knock out concoction.
So if I had to guess at why people are (or think they are) addicted to oxycontin, I would say it isn't because of oxycontin alone. Rather oxycontin with something else (beer, wine or whatever) triggers a big enough high to F you up greatly (and I mean walking through walls). But for me, that lasted.. yup, 3 days.. then it no longer affected me in the same way.
As a pain med, I found it really useless along with everything else. |

Latest spill was last May
