In reply to the discussion: How the hell does anyone get addicted to Oxycodone? [View all]Aristus
(66,310 posts)64. If you try hard enough, you can get addicted to almost anything.
Every single day in clinic, I try to preserve and improve the health of patients who smoke. I still cant understand why people still smoke.
First of all, everyone knows how unhealthy it is. Its not like the 1950s where a doctor comes out of the exam room and lights up. After a long, hard day of clinic, I like to relax with Camel cigarettes. Twenty-one great tobaccos make twenty great smokes!
I tried smoking a couple of times. It was so unpleasant, I quit right away, wondering how anyone could smoke long enough to become addicted to nicotine.
So I guess if someone puts their shoulder into it, they could become addicted to oxycodone.

Be very careful with them, as this is classic reaction by those who are opioid dependent!
