Probably wrong board but I'll bite...
Percs and oxys never did shite for me for pain management. I metabolize opiates differently I guess.
Now the synthetic stuff like dilaudid and fentanyl are just awesome.
I have a natural propensity towards addiction so I can't really take any of them. I try to avoid non prescription pain killers at all costs for that reason.
But those of you that take them and it helps you- more power to ya. Just watch yourselves because my whole life I've witnessed addiction absolutely destroy even the best of human beings.

Had a friend at work who's gone through several major leg and back surgeries over the years and got prescribed some in his recovery.
He told me that the "dependency" feeling he got from them was unlike any other he had experienced with past pain killers. Couldn't quite put his finger on it as it wasn't a high or buzzed feeling or anything like that--he best described it as "extreme comfort." He dropped them quickly.

I separated my shoulder once,pain was so bad I couldn’t button my shirt.Dr.gave me prescription for Percocet,it was amazing.I would take one,little while I would hook up my boat and go fishing 3 or 4 hours.Casting with same hand I couldn’t button shirt with.I wasn’t euphoric but I just had this warm “fuzzy” feeling that everything was wonderful.I don’t think I was a hazard,didn’t have any accidents,get any tickets and I caught some fish and went home and filleted them.Did it several times.
What scared me was how wonderful I felt after I took one.I realized I could easily get hooked on this shite so when I ran out I didn’t get it refilled.I just toughed it out after that with aspirin,Tylenol,and heating pads.I can very well see how someone could get addicted.

This man knows what I’m saying.
I think everybody craves a transcendent experience.

Sounds like you love it, about like my old friend did. He got started, from a prescription for a back injury. Decided that he didn't want to try and get healed, he would just live medicated. The pills had to get stronger and stronger, then I guess he started shooting, and became reduced to a wheel chair at about the same time. His head became permanently physically stuck looking over his shoulder. He had to get his younger brother to push him around in his wheelchair because he couldn't see where he was going.
I knew where he was headed.

Feels good, but it is also what leads people to stronger stuff. I've been there, I've witnessed it. Ive watched friends and family destroy their lives over it. I buried my brother. It all started with a little percocet and oxycodone. The opiate crisis is real.

I've never much cared for the opiate high. Just a few years ago, if I knew where some were available, there were really no qualms with buying them off the street. Not the worst way to spend a Sunday on the couch watching a baseball game with nothing else to do. Fentanyl scares the shite out of me and is seemingly being pressed into all of these roxy/oxy replicas. If not pharmaceutical grade, I'm not touching anything these days. Again, never really liked the high. If ever legitimately prescribed, I will use them until they're gone and go about my life without the want for more.

I got to the point that unless you're seriously post op, have a broken bone, or have cancer I won't prescribe them. The risk benefit ratio is too high. I also never wrote for oxy, and stopped writing for vicodin and percocet.

Opiates for a vasectomy? Seriously?
I got a valium before and prescribed ice and OTCs after.

I loved the warm fuzzy buzz of hydrocodone, but never had trouble getting off of them. I'd like to have a pill or 2 every now & then if I'm really beat,bt I take kratom and it takes the edge off enough to relax and recover

I was on percocets (10 mg oxycodone) before and after S1-L5-L4 fusion surgery with hardware. My doctor advised buying a pill cutter and cutting back 1/4 pill every 3-4 days. I was on three percs per day so it took some time but felt zero withdrawal from cutting back this slow.
