@heisenberg34 I've been at this for over 20 years. When I began my family doc wrote for me, but pre-pump I had gotten to almost 6 oxycodone's a day that made my family doc nervous so I talked to my neurosurgeon and he agreed to write. Once when he checked the records he said it took you 2 months to refill the last Rx. Certainly not drug seeking behavior. When I had my whole lumbar spine done the hospitalist came in to release me to home. At that time I asked him to cut in half my Rx for oxycontin. He said I want to but you on a billboard the only person in America who wants less Oxycotin. My son who passed from an overdose keep telling me how addictive it was and for some there is no coming back. does that explain it? Hope so.
