Anyone using prescription pain killers for a month or more becomes addicted to the drug. It goes with the use

Two years ago I came down with a case of shingles and my Doc gave me a prescription for Percocet
I told him Tylenol was working well enough
He said the pain would get much worse.
I told him I was afraid of addiction and he said people with real pain don't get addicted.

I toughed it out as long as I good but finally had to use the Percocet

However I was able to get by taking ONE at 2 PM and then two tylenol and a I/2 Xanax at bed time

I did not get addicted and had no withdrawal symptoms at all however I was only on it for several weeks

No, taking them that way, it would not be enough to start an addiction. Percocets are only 5mg. of Oxycodone.

If you took them around the clock, it would be different.

That is in effect what I do, so I have to deal with the nature of the beast, so to speak. But, I do not abuse the drugs. If I did, I would not get my scrip renewed and would have some serious problems dealing with day to day things. The drug can render you useless if you take too much. You would appear drunk or high on something and risk breathing difficultes (paralysis) that can kill you and does frequently.
