NOObs.
I got the joke but then I like dry and sarcastic humor.
Some people got have everything spelled out for them
ie
/S
No offense, but I think I know a bit more about this than you do. While it is not theoretically impossible to extract the oxycodone from the patch (where it is chemically encased in phosphoylated tocopheryl vesicles), the difficulty and cost of doing so exceeds the difficulty and cost of synthesizing oxycodone directly.
Bring the druggies on, they will break their shovels on this one.
Well, Just Amen! Unless someone has to live with chronic, moderate to severe pain, they just don't know what it's all about. My dope is 10-325 (Norco) up to 5 times daily and I get my liver and various organs checked regularly because of the acetaminophen. So far, so good. I used to get 10-650 but at my request the doc agreed to lessen the acetaminophen and I can't tell any difference.
I don't care if people think I'm a doper, it helps alleviate some awful pain. I'm 66 years old now, it sure as heck isn't going to make me die young.
Hope you get over your cough but Mucinex (guaifenesin) isn’t a cough suppressant. It is an expectorant.
Seems like it’d be pretty difficult to wipe as well....
LOL
Have to be careful with ibuprofen and fractures. There is some evidence that NSAIDS can delay fracture healing.
Hey, tell me about that.
I may have to have my left one done.
What was recovery like.
I wanna hear it all because I’m hearing I’m going to need to hire someone to be an assistant for about 3 months.
Whatcha doing in about 20 years??? You love me, right?
AND, at my death panel, instead of an offer of a nice overdose of morphine or the likes, I just get clubbed like a baby seal.
I recognized it right away as sarcasm. I don’t use the sophomoric “/s” either.
That is my response to nsaids. I do pretty good on hydrocodone. I don’t take it often, chronic back pain. One will usually leave me hungover enough to take a day to get over it. The stronger doses would put me out for quite awhile, I assume.
I hate to see anyone in pain. Imho, effective pain relief is absolutely necessary.
>>>>Dilaudid makes me nutty(er)
Makes me grin from ear to ear, Dilaudid Rocks :). Asked the nurse for a 55 gal IV. She was not amused. I am a chronic pain patient and long term Oxycontin patient. Severe nerve damage with near constant pain. The bit about no acetaminophen caught my attention. I am afraid of long term liver damage.
It was obviously sarcasm. I don’t believe most people who enjoy this site would give government more then the Constitution allows. Most not all.
My experience mirrors yours as posted in number 40 - no problem, except with F.R., I had to hit the “post reply” button about 20 different times, it kept taking me back to the top of the article. This is not a new experience either.
Naw, druggies are pretty smart. They will just stick on 10 of them there patches at once.... 3 whole days of dizzy.
I believe that acetaminophen is the most common cause of liver damage. This new painkiller would be a Godsend to millions.
My mother-in-law used to get shingles and I thought, rash and itch.....until I got it myself.
Katy bar the door pain!
It sucked and my intestines made sure to let me know. I thought “heck, this stuff costs 3 times more than Robitussin. Must be a reason to justify that price point”
Yep. you’ll feel more pain with this one.

If there’s a possibility that people will abuse it, then they will abuse it.
Doesn’t mean the medication shouldn’t be developed, though.
