I agree. I don't know how this is even legal. Didn't dr's become dr's to help people. Thought it wasn't about the money! I do know a close friend of mine had been on Percoet for decades for a back injury. Theres no doubt he was addicted to them BUT it gave him a quality of life that he was OK with. After 20+ years he got a new dr that told him he wasn't going to fill his perscription anymore. My friend literally went off the rails. He was buying black market meds, sleeping pills, drinking heavily etc. Long and short of the story is after 5 years of medication abuse and 3 strokes later he's now in a care home with circulatory dementia at the age of 61 and there is no sign of him ever leaving that place. And why? Because there was no plan in place to get him off the meds in the first place. He was also totally fine with the perc's and any damage it might have caused him. He had a pretty good life. Its sad. I haven't been able to bring myself to visit him but I've stayed in contact with his daughter for updates.
