So quick personal story... In 2018 and 2019, I was given a total of 5 months supply of OxyContin for the transition related surgeries I had done.https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1332502295158747136 …

I... didn’t need that much. I definitely needed it for GRS, but I didn’t need it for my hair transplant, I didn’t need it for the two labiaplasties I had done. It scared me how much I enjoyed the high and it got to the point where I started taking it even when I wasn’t in pain.

Finally for my last revision, I requested a lighter dose of Tylenol with codiene because I was scared I was forming a habit.

The one thing I had going for me is that I’m such an utter dipshit that I wouldn’t have the slightest clue where to get illicit drugs. So once my scripts ran out, I weened off of it.

I actually asked my best friend to check on me a month after my last script ran out to make sure I hadn’t found a way to get more on my own.

Part of the issue was I had 3 different doctors who didn’t know about the others, and never asked about painkillers from other surgeries that they definitely knew about.

There was my FFS too, so really 5 months supply.

I don’t know what the answer is because people with chronic pain absolutely need these drugs sometimes to function, but it also scared the shit out of me, personally.

It's so hit or miss, also. Some docs are too free with the stuff, others are paranoid and stingy. My wife got a few days supply of vicodin for a major operation. My job was withholding them despite her severe pain, to make them last, knowing she'd never get a single pill more.

Replying to @e_urq @transscribe
At the end she never took the very last pill, which we still have, because it was psychologically easier to know it was there if she needed it than take the last one and be on her own.
