I had emergency surgery and as a result it looks like I will be zonked out on oxys for the next week. Never had these, what are some good movies to watch in this condition? (lemmy.world)

Nothing with too many hearty belly laughs, it was abdominal surgery.

People take more than they are prescribed at once “until the pain goes away” and yeah at that point they start to get high on them

    My experience with pain killers is that when I've actually needed them for pain, after a bad injury, they work on the pain without any euphoric effects. I can only get high when I don't have any pain to relieve.

    You know we honestly hadn't thought about that. We both tend to get some annoying side effects so the thought of taking more is just not a thought. We actually both have tried not taking them until necessary and learned a lesson there as it take so long to kick in and yeah you literally will not be able to function since they gave you stuff like that by iv and once it wears off you won't be back for like a day. Whats funny is the iv stuff seems to not have the side effects the way oral dosages do.
