If you need it, take it but if you take it, you will need it.

Some factoids;

Any mixture of alcohol with Percocet is hazardous from both the Tylenol and the opioid.

Oxycodone does not include Tylenol and comes in 5, 10, 20 and 30 mg.
A small dose of 5mg twice a day in an alcohol free lifestyle is relatively safe. Once doses go higher so do the hazards.

OxyContin is a time release form of opioid and is heavier effect for a longer time than Oxycodone.

Fentanyl is stronger than morphine or heroin, some say 100 times more powerful. The hazards with or without alcohol are most assuredly dangerous and possibly fatal.


Stopping the use of Opioids:

It requires about 18 days or more to feel good after stopping opioid use. This is difficult for the working poor to take the better part of a month off to withdrawal. Withdrawal can be compared to the flu that lasts 2 weeks or more.

Anyone who says no one can do it themselves are selling something.
Family support is naturally a great benefit.

Like the fictional Soma that enhanced the power of Big Brother's control, opioids are a sure fire best seller for drug companies while dumbing down the users.

Vicodin Hydrocodone fits into the opioid hierarchy but is more likely to have more variable results with different people.

To those who need it, don't worry, a well managed regime by a respondsible doctor can be quite safe.

For those who don't need it but use it, stop all increased doses and do not even try Fentanyl. Then stop and suffer the flu.
