[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the flip side my parent needs a low dose to leave her bed every day. She can only get a 30 day supply and is treated like a criminal every time she goes to the pain clinic. There are no surgeries for her condition and she's tried everything. She's not an addict and never takes more than her low dose. When she runs out, she just cries in bed and is unable to move. We've had to carry her to doctors appointments. The lack of availability of Percocet has limited her life. She has to schedule vacations in between her doctors appointments and often misses holidays and birthdays because she can't travel close to her refill dates. She would like to move closer to her granchildren but can't because she can't find a doctor. She carries her MRI results with her in case of emergency.

I'm worried what happens when Percocet is banned[/quote]

My dad and I worry that[b] if Percocet is banned that she would turn to the black market or heroin.[/b] She's so crippled physically in pain daily. I think this is why a lot of people turn to heroin. [/quote]

Serious question, but how would she know where to get it?  That's what I don't get from these stories of people who supposedly got addicted to prescription drugs first then turned to heroin out of desperation, it doesn't seem the me that your average upstanding middle class person would have an easy connection to a heroin dealer.  Personally, I wouldn't have a clue where to get it from. [/quote]
