i wouldn't fuck with oxycontin. at least not taking it. one of my co-workers ended up OD'd and in the hospital for a week or two because of an oxy80mg (and probably something else). at least i know i didn't give it to him thank god. i've let him have valiums and xanax to calm down or go to sleep....but if i would have, say been responsible for that, i'd have felt pretty shitty. there is a lot of money to be made selling that stuff....but it is dangerous. normally .50 to 1.00 a mg. 80mgs can go from $30-$40 and it seems the lesser amounts like the 10mgs go for higher like a standard $10 around here. not sure why, people like the smaller price tag i guess. i was going to suggest using the lorcet or vicodin....but you already answered that. i like the "building character" statement. lol. sounds like me....no reason not to lift unless you just keel over from pain or drop the damn weight on your head. seems like your fucked with all the reactions you get to the good stuff, maybe someone will have an option for you. or maybe you want to risk it and use the oxy's at low doses...... good luck.............
