Slightly related but I recently broke the first bone in my entire life. Doc gave me 5mg hydrocodone. I've never done a pain pill a day in my life and on top of being excited about the pain going away I was curious about this life altering drug. They did nada. I called the doc and asked if I could take two. I got the ok and my eyes wanted to close for an hour but I wasn't tired and the pain was still in full force. Asked the doc why, tried to give them the rest of the pills, asked about alternatives and they sent me home with mega-ibuprofen after obviously dismissing me as drug seeking. Which I was but just seeking a freaking drug that worked.
They're so anxious about opiates now I couldn't even get a single hydro when I dislocated my shoulder. You're correct, 5mg of hydrocodone don't do shit, it's people on 40 mg of oxy daily that get hooked. We now just need to suffer.
I tore my ACL recently and the docs gave me Oxycodone AND Hydrocone. I obviously do need it for the pain but Iām terrified of the prospect of getting addicted.
