Please share if you know of anyone that had bumped heads with both and what the experience was. This would be prescribed for addiction management as well as pain control for severe/chronic pain, which sparked the addiction and poorly thought out behavior in the first place. (Needing more to feel better and function, then just needing more to feel something and finding new, innovative and BEYOND STUPID ways to take it--the kind of stupid that can be fatal). It's not just the substance that affect some addicts, it's the entire process not to exclude the method of delivery into our poor bodies.

PS, I don't want to know if either "gets you high", that is not the point. I wanted to hear if either one works better for addiction management and for chronic pain since the patient will never be able to touch a "normal" pain killer again unless god forbid they need another major surgery. I just want to hear the good and bad about both, not what anyone can read in a medical text book or hear from a Doctor. Only someone that has been there can really give you an accurate account (at least for THEIR experience).

The Doctor is giving the patient some "say so" in this due to the sheer cost of it. New meds must be started by tomorrow, so there will be another Dr/Patient meeting of coarse. Patient is willing to sell the car to pay for the more expensive one, but none of that is as important as "success rates", "effectiveness". "We" just want to hear from a real person that knows the pros/cons.

Yes, we will get over the paranoia soon enough and stop talking like this. lol
