IDK the difference between Percocet and Oxycodone
Oxycodone is just the opioid (with no added acetaminophen, etc.), and percocet is oxycodone with acetaminophen. #themoreyouknow
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

To me, opioids are like chocolate cake: I really enjoy it when I have it, but I wouldn't eat it every day.
That's it exactly. Plus I'm pretty sure I don't have an addictive personality type; Back In The Day when I smoked, quitting took about a day.
Mind you, quitting coffee isn't ever going to happen, but I've been drinking some form of coffee since I was 10.

I probably would eat chocolate cake every day, if that was easy to do. I have been scared of opiates and opioids (is there a difference?) since I read Kubla Kahn in high school and was all, Coleridge was on something I would like way too much, so I've hardly every taken them. Pretty much only when I was in a lot of pain and I didn't notice anything besides not-in-so-much-pain, which was nice. I have been told by people for whom opiates are a prime addiction that it's not so much a high as a comfortable everything-is-ok-and-if-it-isn't-it-doesn't-matter feeling that they just want to get back to.

Opium dens were known to be full of people just lying around smoking and dreaming.

ION, I did a Google search for "low-carb snacks that don't suck", and it's surprising how many results came up with "that don't suck" in the title. I sense a trend with low-carb snacks. However, many of them were preaching the "joy" of celery, so my dream of low-carb popcorn seems as far away as ever.

My coworkers are pooling their money for the megamillions jackpot. I declined to join in, but one of them says she'll hire me as a salaried financial consultant, so that'll do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Then another doctor told me that Advil was bad and I wasn't to take it ...
WTAF? Bad for you specifically, or bad as a blanket policy? Because obviously it's just fine for a lot of people. And if I recall that one This American Life (?) correctly, you're way less likely to overdose on Advil than Tylenol.
If there were warm fuzzy floaty feelings involved I might feel different, but for me it is extreme nausea and inability to function at any level.
Ah, so my experience both times I tried ecstasy.

Opioids put me to sleep in 15 minutes flat, dead to the world for 6-8 hrs. Help with the pain? Dunno, wasn't conscious.
They have no effect on my brother until they get to an insane dosage where they start suppressing respiration. (He was a paid guinea pig a lot in grad school...so when it happened in a study, he got all sorts of tests done that pointed to a weird genetic abnormality.) We think my mom likely has same, which is why she hated them-they did nothing for her post surgical pain. What made her miserable was the pain, drugs were irrelevant.
