I have taken 20mg of Oxycontin twice a day with percosets up to four times a day as a kicker for the Oxycontin for the past twelve years (doses adjusted over the years).

I would not be a functioning person right now without these meds.

What's the solution? I don't know but taking them from people that use them responsibly is not the answer.

I can't speak for all pain management Doctors, I can only speak to the one I have. With the education & urine testing has kept me in check. I believe maybe that's where we start to need to look for a solution.
