I'm not sure what I was expecting, but for some reason I was surprised by this video. Which is doubly strange, since it was exactly what the description said: a balanced look at the possible effects of Oxycontin use. Some people benefited, others.... didn't.
Really interesting video. It added a lot of nuance to my understanding of the benefits & dangers of opioid use.
I took it after I damaged myself; I was glad to have it, believe me - it does take the pain away. I was also able to kick it, cause I ran out and wasn't prescribed enough for long enough to really get me hooked. I took it for like 2 months, and when I ran out I ran out and I was OK.
But every now and again I wish I had some - it's just that good.
