info on oxycontin and rehab
http://www.oxycontin-detox.com/index-overture-kw-oxycontin.html
I have severe disc pain in both my neck and my lower back and no one EVER suggested a drug of this magnitude for my pain--I got Ibuprofen, Vioxx, and Celebrex. I think he is lying.

1. That is realistic....
lying and rationalization is part of the manipulation of the disease...reason to use!

He can't handle sobriety!

2. I've taken both oxycontin
and mscontin for chronic pain. Maybe it depends on the type of pain rather than the degree?

I had a harder time with Lortabs because I had to take more and more of it to get it to work so I nuked that one pretty quick.

3. again, oxycontin is the same drug as percocet . . .
except it's in a time release formula . . . I see a pain specialist at a major rehab center, and he moved me from percocet to oxycontin to eliminate the up and down, up and down that comes from taking the medication every four hours . . . it's worked wonders for me, and I'm sure for many others . . . the problem comes from abuse, i.e. crushing or dissolving the pills to override the time release mechanism and get a full jolt of the entire dosage all at once . . .
