I was prescribed it recently after surgery. Took it for around 5 days and then stopped with no ill effect (and several left). I don’t think your statement holds in the short term (and certainly not “immediate”), though over a longer period it seems to.

Possibly, but I have had Oxy prescribed and wasn't an immediate junkie. It worked for my pain is as much that I would pass out soon after taking one. This would have been in the 2008/2009 period, and my doctor was very careful with dosage.

Also note, I hated the way I felt while taking them.

Yeah Oxycontin was a 13th amendment violation.

And calls into question every number in Western Medicine.
