I had major surgery about five years ago and was prescribed Oxicontin to use during recovery. On days when the pain was elevated, I would take two, (dose was 5 mg). It helped with the physical pain, but the mental high was not something enjoyable. I still am able to keep a few on hand for break through days. I’m 65 and led a very active career and leisure activities. It’s easier for me to show you where there is no pain. I’m able to make a script (20) last for three months. What is the draw to use these recreationally? Oxicontin/Oxicodone make me itch fiercely, so we have settled on Percocet. Same experience as the others, ok for pain, but getting high, not so much. Anyone with experienced?

On the psychological side, I expect many of the people who choose to take these drugs will be starting from a much lower mental state that you are so the high from the drugs is an improvement for them. Of course, the main issue with proscribed opioids is addiction, when patients need to take much more than you to manage their pain. Even if the side effects are unpleasant, the effects of them not taking them can get much worse.I had major surgery about five years ago and was prescribed Oxicontin to use during recovery.

That’s just to get it in to the blood stream quicker. Many pharmaceuticals will be specifically designed to slow release the active ingredients when taken normally so the benefits lasts longer. Addicts are looking for a quick big hit instead.I've heard they crush them and snort the powder. Don't know why that would make a difference, but it must be something because many are addicted to it.

Not exactly what you asked but I support you getting whatever you need that helps. This so called “opioid epidemic” can kiss my ass. The type of medication prescribed and how much should be entirely between a doctor and their patient. Sorry, I know I’m going off on tangent but as is typical of the government and in this case a very Republican one, they think they know better and should be able to dictate and control doctors decisions.

There are two problems with opioid addiction. 1 is with people that have been prescribed opioids as a 'treatment' for pain (its not a treatment...never has been, never will be), and 2 is with drug users seeking a means of getting high.
In pain management, the theory holds that with low enough doses, pain medications can make the pain tolerable. And as people were in real and legitimate pain, appropriate medical care provided relief without becoming addicting. There were other contributing factors including quality of life. But things changed about 2 decades ago when doctors started allowing the patients to dictate what they wanted and big pharm got good at handing out free samples. In short...doctors got lazy, people got stupid, and big pharm got rich.
Look at something as relatively simple as a sprained or strained back. Lots of people get them every year. Hurts like hell, and you can get a nice jolt if you move too fast or too far and may have difficulty breathing. Common for people to rush to the doc and get on pain meds. Also common for people to use hot and cold compresses, wraps, and take it easy for a few weeks. It doesnt need to be treated with pain meds.
Ive had numerous surgeries due to my time in the military. Every time I have gone home they sent me home with a bag full of pain pills even though I have told them, I dont take pain pills (Extra Strength Excedrin for Migraine and of course the military cure all, Motrin...what more do you need?). But now there are bottles and bottles of pain pills laying around easy for teenagers, their friends, houseguests, whatever, to score some without anyone knowing they are missing. (thats an exampe-I always get rid of our meds at the drop box...dont keep prescription drugs in the home). Docs overprescribe. People overuse. Its easy to see where the addiction comes from.
Insufflation allows substances that do not first have to be broken down by the liver to absorb (ie, Adrafinil into Modnafinil), enter the bloodstream, and then cross the blood-brain barrier much more quickly.
Injection does it faster.
The peak feeling of euphoria is higher the less time elapses from first crossing of the blood-brain barrier of the substance to complete crossing. That of course also in turn means the comedown is faster.

I found a natural herb called Kratom, works well on some types of pain, less so on others. It's legal in many states, but not all states.
Nice thing about it, when you're new to it, it will give you a buzz similar to a vicodin or percocet, but after awhile, the high just fades.
Thing is, it's mildly addictive, more than coffee, but less than cigarettes, and less than opioids. some use it to help them kick opioids.
If you look into it, you can buy crushed leaf powder by the kilo, and use it to make tea, lasts several months, and a kilo goes for about $100 ( some charge way more, you just have to shop around, I found a supplier for $80 a kilo )
If you get a cold, it works very much like Theraflu does, it knocks out the chills/fever/sinuses, etc., really well. I haven't detected any side effects. I had a check up, and my liver & kidneys are in excellent shape, so no problem there, either.
I take it along with another prescription drug for chronic headaches and back pain. I find the two together work better than each separately.
You have to experiment to find what works for you, everyone is different.
BTW, it tastes bad. But, I have a pink grapefruit tree, and a minneola tree ( a tangelo/orange ) in my back yard, and I squeeze the juice of one of these into the glass of kratom tea, which makes it a lot more palatable, or you can buy some vitamin water, that's mildly sweet --- you have to do something to the drink, or it's taste will not be enjoyable.
Some people don't make tea, they put a couple of tea spoons of the stuff right into a smoothie, which really disguises the taste, you can't even taste it at all. Thing is, I did this to begin with, and after a few days, my stool turned a dark green. Don't know what it means, but it was starting to cause constipation, so I switched to tea, and that eliminated the problem .
Another thing, the dose. The more you weigh, the more you need. Also, if you get drowsy or real tipsy, you've taken too much. If you feel nothing, you've taken too little. The right dose is that dose which gives you a nice "lift", a slight surge in energy, it's subtle, but nice. You have to experiment to determine the right dose. I gave a 2 grams to my GF, and it made her tipsy, she only weights 125lbs. I told her that must have been too much, it's not supposed to make you tipsy like alcohol. So, keep that in mind if you decide to try it.
Just like anything else, it's not for everyone.
Kratom is addictive & may be banned by the FDA.
A legal high that will take your mind off your problem is gabapentin, which is an inexpensive generic drug originally intended as an anti-convulsant drug for epileptics. In larger than usual doses (2 grams or so) it produces a mild euphoria that lasts for hours.
