Whats the big deal? Opiates are great drugs when you have real pain, and as far as addiction goes, well, there was a time in this Country when Doctors were still allowed to practice medicine the way they saw fit. In my case I had a nice long talk with my 3 doctors after a bad motorcycle accident. You have 2 options and one of them we aren’t going to do. Medical Coma for 3 months or take all the Percodan you can for 3 months. Percodan is yesterdays OxyContin. Obviously we all knew I would be addicted in short order, but My Doctors had a Plan, in 3 months once you have healed up enough for surgery you will go in to the Hospital for 3-4 weeks, the first 7-10 days will be to go through Withdrawls under Doctors care in a hospital bed. I was basically knocked out with other drugs for a little over a week, once the shit was out of my system I had a 12 hour Major Surgery and woke up Drug Free and Pain Free. I couldn’t have lived without them and near the end I was taking 50 a day!!!
The massive drug addiction must be an illusion.
