Just say "No"...How hard is that?
when your doctor prescribes you medicine, you take it, right?
I guess no one here has watched the Dave Chappelle special.

When the pharma corps especially get tired of the crap they'd be wise to just pull out of the USA market and stop providing meds to the entire nation. See how quickly the legal extortion stops then.

So if you aren't in pain, you keep taking them because the doctor prescribed you an entire bottle?

When Scruffy sends a pt home from the ER with any pain medication, which is rare as hell, they usually get only enough to make it through the next 48 hours, which is 6-8 pills.
No one gets a month’s worth. That is insane.
Tylenol and Motrin work well enough.

You have no clue what you’re talking about here.
Purdue told doctors and patients that OxyContin wasn’t addictive.
Correct.
quote:
Purdue Pharma, the company that planted the seeds of the opioid epidemic through its aggressive marketing of OxyContin, has long claimed it was unaware of the powerful opioid painkiller’s growing abuse until years after it went on the market.
But a copy of a confidential Justice Department report shows that federal prosecutors investigating the company found that Purdue Pharma knew about “significant” abuse of OxyContin in the first years after the drug’s introduction in 1996 and concealed that information.
Company officials had received reports that the pills were being crushed and snorted; stolen from pharmacies; and that some doctors were being charged with selling prescriptions, according to dozens of previously undisclosed documents that offer a detailed look inside Purdue Pharma. But the drug maker continued “in the face of this knowledge” to market OxyContin as less prone to abuse and addiction than other prescription opioids, prosecutors wrote in 2006.

You are bringing up personal responsibility again... 
Apparently that has nothing to do with this issue.

Hated the way they made you feel.
Scruffy only took a couple and then tossed the rest.

My wife had a hysterectomy last year, spent one night in the hospital after. I went down to the hospital pharmacy to pick up the prescription they were sending her home with, and we got a 10 day supply of hydrocodone, and oxycodone, one of each. She took 2 pills of the hydrocodone after we got home and that was it.
I couldn't believe they gave us so many.

Tylenol and Motrin work well enough.
I mean yeah, I could have revisited my early 20's and taken about 2 or 3 at a time and been high as a kite, but still. I think the power of using OTC meds for pain is understated most times.

Wow. Oxy is not needed for vasectomy recovery. That is not that painful of a procedure.

That isn’t even near the top reason as to why this happens.
Hell, ISO, the most common reason is a tying of physician/hospital pay to patient satisfaction scores, of which pain control is a vital component.
The “doctors being paid by big pharma” issue was crushed so thoroughly in the past that it really isn’t an issue anymore.

It's practically impossible to do on any large scale though. All payments are disclosed now.
