The Doc. gave me some of the percocet mixed with tylenol and it sure made me loopy. Great stuff.

As long as you let them know up front, they can probably find another similar-classed drug that will help. My wife went through most of them due to a car accident, and they all were different in their own ways (in terms of effectiveness, and side effects).

In my experience, I don't see why this medicine is addictive.

Also, it sucks as a pain killer. It kind of sort of takes the edge off, but that's about it. Hell, for me, Advil works better.

What are these losers getting addicted to?

If I may ask, are you equating addiction with losers?
Or
Are you equating robbers with losers?

I was prescribed OXY's after major shoulder surgery and the mistakenly gave my wife two prescriptions of it instead of one and also gave me percocet. I loved every minute of that next 6 weeks although being constantly f'ed up was tough when I had to try to deal with going to doctors and helping the wife out around the house, etc.

I went through an addiction of that crap and would rather go the less than legal route of another smokable than ever touch pain killers again. It's not just a mental addiction but also physical, I happen to be one of those people particularly susceptible to opiate/opioids. Also those can cause rebound pain, especially for patients with migraines or other vascular headaches so it becomes a vicious cycle.

It's not so much that drug, as it is themselves. The drug is the vehicle of thier destructive ways. I know a few who have fell in a bad way to Oxy.
:rolleyes:

We certainly are a diverse bunch here.

That's funny. I had a morphine injection after I herniated a disk a few year ago. I was in lala land for like an hour or two; can only imagine for Oxy would be like then...

Regarding the crushability of the tablets...some companies (like the one I work for) are working on technology that would eliminate the ability to crush the tablets to get more drug into their systems faster. Additionally, this technology shows increased resistance to alcohol, as well. I wish I could tell you more about them, but things are on the horizon that will be used in conjunction with medications like this. :)

That being said, I hate working with these active ingredients. First, there is the two person rule whenever you have them out (as they are all controlled substances) and then there is the increased attention to getting dosed wth it. If the material is a fine and light, then we wear masks, so as not to get dosed by inhalation. I got dosed with a controlled substance one time like that (the active ingredient in an anti anxiety med) and slept for like 13 hours. LOL VERY relaxed.

I haven't taken basically any meds like these, thankfully, so the only experience I can give is what I know about through the media and work.

Interesting input Wanger. The other issue that comes about is the homemade variety. I remember these going around Nw Arkansas when I was a kid. I dont know the actual ingredients, but know it caused alot of problems. Some poeple were getting pretty close to the real stuff while others were getting a mix of different pills. Basically a prescription cocktail. It is very sad.

It is just like any other pain med that over constant use the body/mind need to keep a baseline to function. Also using it with alcohol creates a bigger high for people.

I haven't taken anything like this for years and am glad. I can promise I would like it so it is best to stay away.

This surely dates me... but the last prescription drug I did and really fell for was the old Rorer 714 'ludes. Now that was a buzz!!!

They keep me awake at night and just dull the pain. They also make me constipated. Now the injected morphine they would put in the IV worked great.

IV morphine does nothing for me
