During my last trip to the Urgent Care Center, the doctor there told me if he were prescribing my pain meds, he would NOT prescribe the Darvocet N-100 that I try to get by with. He said he would prescribe Oxycontin because it is less toxic.

I repeated this to my Internist, who promptly nixed that idea, due to what he felt were addictive properties...Other than my tiny faux pas with the "1" Methadone, I have always been careful to take a minimal amount of pain medication, even when pain level has been miserable. However, I really would like to keep my liver here...
