Deadly Addictive Drug — ENDOCET
One of the most deadly and addictive drugs now replacing less dangerous ‘highs’ is ENDOCET. Unhappily this stuff is readily available by prescription, sale, or theft.
Apparently I violated log rules by posting the entire account. I will keep this short and hope it is widely distributed. I was on this stuff briefly and generally in a daze with it until my son warned me of its dangerous addition — it is highly addictive.
I went cold turkey for a night and really suffered — could not sleep without pain. The next two nights I took half doses and got by until I quit entirely the third night. Am okay now.
Endocet is now becoming one of the most popular of big kick drugs with no mention of its addiction. It has a number of different names such a PERCOCET.
Needless to say, this is the most dangerous stuff being widely circulated to younger people short of an actual poison for suicide.

The dirty little secret is that the best pain killers for some patients are narcotics.
I had a patient die from an OD: She stole the MSContin from her cousin, also one of my patients, who had terminal cancer. She took it to get high. Am I to blame?
there is a big difference between drug abuse, addiction, and taking a medicine for pain.
For the elderly, it’s a problem: The best medicines, e.g. NSAIDS, can cause fluid retention, kidney problems, and bleeding ulcers. But narcotics can interfere with their ability to function. I usually told them to take NSAIDS with an ulcer medicine, but at night, if the pain was worse, to take a mild narcotic to lessen the pain to sleep.
Endocet is actually for moderate pain. We use in the elderly instead of codiene formulas mainly because it causes less constipation.
I am glad you are getting physical therapy and other non drug treatments for your pain. Not everyone can get these treatments, alas, but they work. Even the cheapskates at the IHS (Indian health service) always had physical therapy for our patients for this reason, but few family docs are knowledgable about this and give out pills.
Endocet is now the most dangerous high for young people — a dangerous narcotic.
