I was given the option of Neurontin and Lyrica but opted for Oxycodone. It has addictive qualities but I schedule myself for 3 or 4 days with no medication at all every few weeks. Although I'm prescribed 20 mg daily, I try to limit myself to 5 or 10 mg.
I'm not being judgemental. My family has a history of abuse, both alcohol and narcotic. So I'm very frugal with medication.
