Perhaps he was trying to get off the Percocet because he knew he was addicted and was attempting to wean himself off. I understand that it makes you very ill. I just feel that he didn't have to die. Why didn't someone try to help? Where was Larry or his other close friends?

Yes. They are the symptoms, and unfortunately, I've seen them close enough to know.

Opiods....Also Oxycotin addicted seem to always sound congested.

It would explain the weight loss as well. There were a lot of signs that support this theory. And from other bit's of information I've read over the last week it sounds like Prince was perhaps also referred to or been to a "pain clinic" which are medical practices devoted solely to managing chronic pain. Many general practitioners will send their patients to these clinics since opiates have a very high potential for being abused or misused. It's very difficult to manage chronic pain patients on long term pain meds and try to run a regular general practice as well. So to some extent I think they were trying to help him but unless you've been in the shoes of someone in the same place as prince you can't understand how incredibly difficult it is on do many levels. It's quite complicated and like I said physically and psychologically I would rate it a 20 on a scale of 1-10 in regards to how difficult a dependence on opiates is to manage or overcome.

Pain Clinics will bar/ban someone, and put a suspected-abuser on a digital "warning" list at pharmacies, and hospitals--if one is found to be a potential abuser...(Faking/staging illness or injury to get mroe prescriptions, or pretending they are "lost" to gain more.)
