I WAS ON OXYCONTIN AFTER MY HERNIA OPERATION. WHAT THE DR. AND PHARMACIST DIDN'T TELL ME WAS HOW YOU GET "ADDICTED" IT. BY GRINDING THE PILL AND MAKING IT INTO A "POWDER" SUBSTANCE IT BECOMES VERY ADDICTED.
I CANNOT SWALLOW PILLS-I HAVE TO CHEW THEM UP-YUCK!-OR OPEN THE CAPSULE AND PUT IT IN ORANGE JUICE. NOT KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE THATS HOW I TOOK THE OXYCONTIN. THANKFULLY, I DIDN'T TAKE THEM LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME ADDICTED TO THEM. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, THEY HAVE WORKED THE BEST SO FAR FOR PAIN. THEY DIDN'T MAKE ME SICK OR NO DRUGGED FEELING.
