Tobacco is highly addictive - it took several efforts before finally quitting. I took oxy for severe arthritic pain for over 3 years and it took one day to quit. One night of restless sleep. No desire to take it again other than for pain.

There's a conspiracy led by the medical elites to end opiate prescriptions for pain relief. it is behind all the deaths from street drugs, as doctors cut off patients. They blame addiction when in reality it is pain that makes people go back to these drugs. I was lucky to find doctors who gave me Medial block injections, trigger acupuncture and Tylenol 3 (which is far worse on the body than Oxy.)
