I have been on percocet or oxy since 1994. I started on percocet 5 x90 a month. In 2011 I was bumped to 10 mgs. Then they bumped it to 120 a month. I asked to go back to 90 a month. In addition to the 90 a month I take Hysingla 40 mg which is a 24 hour dose.
On good days I might skip one percocet or Hysingla. When I skip one I hurt. He’ll I hurt most of the time since June of 87 when I had a parachute accident with full combat equipment and a WECI Bag.
I have never copped a buzz. I D not understand how someone can get high off pain pills. Maybe I hurt too much.
Now when I skip one, I feel a type of withdrawal tiredness, followed by pain.
I might skip 8-10 Hysingla in a month. Or I might skip 8-10 percocet a month. However I generally have a day here or there where I take an extra.
The real sad part is they give you 30 days at a time. Then the pharmacy may go a week or two before they can fill the prescription.
The doctors and or pain management don’t care if you can’t fill the prescription or not. They don’t care if you are in pain. IT IS ALL ABOUT THE INSURANCE PAYMENTS.
I imagine the fyntenal crisis us fueled by the supply chain lack of medications.
Suing the drug companies only made shortages worse.
Lots of people buy percocet from India where 700 bucks get you a thousand 10 mgs percocet. But those people get spam calls from the other 1.5b scammers in India.
I imagine the problem for you is not getting high but the risk of having to increase the meds over and over again as your body adjusts to the meds thus making your body more dependent on them until it is taking too much and starts overdosing. That is the way I have to look at it since most of these type of drugs do nothing for me as far wow I am getting high feeling.
Genetics plays such a huge role in the way you process any drug and most doctors don’t seem to know how to deal with it. My doctors didn’t even catch it despite me saying things like oxy doesnt work on me.. I had to find out myself. And now that they know...it still doesn’t help that they know.
When I am prescribed any drug now I have to look at how it is metabolized. If I say okay I am defective in that enzyme so how do we adjust they are dumbfounded.
