Not sure why your doctor would take away your driver liscense because of Oxycontin use; but not for jurinista which is for moderate to severe chronic pain as well, and is a type of morphine and an opiad narcotic.
I am on Oxycontin, 60mg's every 6 hrs. for a total of 240 a day. I do have a handicap placard to hang on the mirror. My doctor did say, I hope you are not driving. I told him my husband did the driving and this to enable us to park closer to wherever we are going. He did sign for the placard. This is true, I have not driven in about 5 years because of the spine PN pain and too painful to sit in driver's seat. But, he never did threaten to take away my license either.
Since both meds are considered an opiad narcotic, I don't understand why he is pushing one over the other and threatening your driver's liscense.
