I appreciate the response. My question is, were you able to keep the same dose all those years? I hear many who say you develop a tolerance and need to increase dosage.

Yes I have never increased my dosage in the 35 years I have been taking it.
One time on a trip with my son I stepped on a fish hook that had washed up on the beach. The pain was incredible and he took me to the emergency room. They extracted the hook and prescribed OxyContin. I took one pill that night and the pain went away. I never took another pill again.
I think certain people have addictive personalities and whether it is alcohol, cigarettes or pain pills they are going to abuse them. For the rest of us common sense takes over and we don’t drink and smoke knowing it can kill us and certainly don’t take opioids or pain pills to get high.
Maybe I am missing something here and I would love hear from others.
