I agree...oxycontin does get a bad rap for its addictive qualities. Personally, I have never taken oxycontin for pain (although offered the script by my pain management doctor) but I refused it because I felt that the lortab was doing an adequate enough job in controlling my pain and I was afraid of something that could potentially be more addicting than vicodin. Sorry....off topic, but it just seems that this is the med that is getting the most "face time" lately in the media.
