It’s not a vanity. The company that makes oxycodone lost a 650 million-dollar lawsuit because they covered evidence that it actually was addictive. Gee what a shock. Synthetic heroin being addictive. Like I said in another thread it was supposed to only be for cancer patients. But enough palms got greased.

“The company that makes oxycodone lost a 650 million-dollar lawsuit because they covered evidence that it actually was addictive. Gee what a shock.”

This is what the DEA believes:

“Schedule II/IIN Controlled Substances (2/2N)

“Substances in this schedule have a high potential for abuse which may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.

“Examples of Schedule II narcotics include: hydromorphone (Dilaudid®), methadone (Dolophine®), meperidine (Demerol®), oxycodone (OxyContin®, Percocet®), and fentanyl (Sublimaze®, Duragesic®). Other Schedule II narcotics include: morphine, opium, codeine, and hydrocodone.”

Once a drug is approved by the FDA, a doctor is normally free to prescribe it for what he/she thinks is an appropriate use.

If you were is constant pain, you might like to have constant pain relief.
