Funny thing, that. I was prescribed a fairly high dose of Oxy daily for half a year, then Morphine and eventually some other stuff depending on the doctor in question. At one point in the hospital a doctor had to “feel me up” pre surgery and she told me it was going to hurt like hell and I was going to get IV Fentanyl beforehand so I could get through it. I was like “ooh, this’ll be interesting” but it honestly did fuck all for me. She was wondering how the hell I could be hurting or even feel anything after the amount they gave me.

I was unlucky enough to have several surgeries just before 2020. It wasn’t all that fun having to go cold turkey afterwards when not a single doctor suddenly had time to keep up with all my shit.

Weirdly enough I get high as hell from Tramadol of all things, which many dislike strongly. I guess I just metabolize that shit really well. I was on that for 3 years straight before I decided to wean myself off. I still have to eat some here and there since one of the surgeries was wildly unsuccessful but anyway, to each their own I guess.

I can see why people got hooked on Oxy though, holy shit. It’s nice when you’re truly hurting though.
