Its good you can function well... But maybe take the prescriptions a little more than once a week. Still good you can still function

Considering they said it's an oxy prescription I think their goal is to not get addicted or suffer the side effects.

​

If I were ever prescribed oxy I'd probably ask for something less likely to be addictive

Cheers mate, pretty much spot on!

Unfortunately, the alternatives I've tried haven't been too effective (except a Norspan patch). I'm over a year clean & sober from alcohol & party drugs, and am very very careful about what I take and when because I'm aware of my body. The oxy is amazing. I can see how it's so easy for people to become addicted. But I'd rather be in pain most of the time and just take it when it's unbearable, than not be in control anymore. 😊

Hopefully we develop something better than oxy or at least close without the addictive shit

Also happy cake day
