Oxycodone may be thought of as the lesser of the two evils because it is often combined with other medications. It is still an opiate but may be combined with ibuprofen or Tylenol in some formulations. A number of prescription pain relievers including Percocet, Percodan, Tylox and OxyContin all contain oxycodone. However, oxycodone is the only ingredient in the stronger version of the drug: OxyContin.

Doc, a Prince fan, said his death made her draw a line and cut back on writing scripts for opioids.

The hospital I work in (ED), offers Tylenol 1 Gm IV as a first line of defense for pain, followed by Toradol IV which is essentially Ibuprofen. Opioids are only considered as a last resort.

This might be something others have talked about and I apologize if so, but I would consider the drugs he had on his bedside stand to be his current drugs of choice. Also, cutting them in quarters and halves implies (to me) he is aware of their strength but wishes something stronger.

[I responded via .orgnote - feel free to repost if you wish. - June7]

I just now noticed your response on this thread to me, June 7. So since you gave me permission I will copy your reply so everyone can see this. I also suggest you update this on your first post too on this thread so people can see to avoid more of the same questions as to why there is no sticky.

It's never been a sticky, now or past versions. It's a regular thread that is already controversial, and I've also featured it on the front page as a quote - so ... ???

Thank you for the sympathies - I appreciate it.

We 'stickify' threads that we want featured on the front page that will give the casual observer an insight into what we feel best represents The Org. Sadly, though I am allowing the discussion to take place, it's not something we want to advertise. I hope you understand.

I repost this response from June7 over orgnote only because he gave me permission to so other mods please make this exceptional as there are rules not posting orgnotes on the threads. I hope this will answer the question to people who wonder why there are no sticky for the death threads.
