Sorry, but I don't believe that someone takes Oxycontin for a broken pelvis for a few weeks and SUDDENLY wants to stop taking them and cannot. Nope. Doesn't happen. Most people wean themselves off during the course of treatment. Narcotics should NEVER be stopped suddenly anyway.

I am sure statistically most do not get addicted, but to say "not to worry about it" would be foolish because even youth "you" don't believe it doesn't mean that it hasn't happened. Too much evidence to support otherwise. Oxycontin for one just lost a major lawsuit or settled it (don't remember which) and they didn't do it because they were nice people.
