OTOH,
Oxycodone does work and people need to be responsible how they use it.
Last year, I was in the hospital for heart surgery. I was prescribed round-the-clock oxycodone.
After the first two days, I told the nurse I only needed one oxycodone at night to help me sleep. A complication happened, and a doctor performed a needle biopsy on my liver. The pain became unbearable after the biopsy. I told the nurse I needed one oxycodone pill. Bam! The pain was gone and never returned. I was sent home with a bottle of 30 oxycodone pills. They're still in my medicine cabinet. I don't know how to get rid of them.
Maybe I'm overly cautious because my mother was addicted to pain pills, but I use OTC or prescription drugs pain pills extremely sparingly.
People need to know there's a reason these drugs are called "opioids". As in, opium? A known addictive drug? A little self-education, a little self-restraint, goes a long way.
