Michael Keaton was a revelation in this. Glad he won just about every award he was nominated for. I was in active addiction for 8 years. Finally after losing my mom, my brother, and my wife ( we'd been together since high school) leaving me all in the space of 4 weeks, I decided if I was the only one left, there must be a reason and it wasnt to get high. I am on methadone now and it has been a tremendous help in staying sober. I don't drink, don't do any other drugs, I don't even smoke weed. I attend one group therapy session a week. I have 2 college degrees, hold local office, created a community service webpage, amd am a devoted father. I am not trying to brag, just to show that opioid addiction can happen to anyone. You'd never think I'm a "junkie". But the reality is that I am. Watching this show gave me the strength to keep going. I could channel my rage, shame, and pain at this company for what it did to me and millions of Americans. I hope the Sacklers choke on every dollar they made

Thank you for your comment. I’m a husband, father, employee and employer, I participate in my kids school and on the surface you would never think that I’m a junkie. But I am. Currently in recovery. I appreciated your comment so much because the stigma would have people believe that opiate/heroin addicts are pan handling homeless scourge of the Earth. But addiction doesn’t discriminate. And as far reaching as the opioid epidemic is, the reality is that for every “low bottom junkie” on the street; there are 50 people with families and relationships and careers and lives. White knuckling their way through active addiction and ashamed to ask for help or don’t know where to receive it. So I appreciate your comment so much, as I deeply relate to it! Thank you! Losing everything in our lives we hold dear is not a requirement to getting clean or finding that moment of clarity in our own individual “rock bottom”. I wish more addicts like you and I would speak up. I hope you’re well, your comment is a year old. But I really needed to read it today. Stay blessed!

But it DOES work. But the most powerful line was during that deposition and he says, "I can't believe how many of them are dead." That line destroyed me as I thought of how many people I know, and how many people in my small town in Massachusetts alone have died over the last 10 years. It's gotten to the point that when someone dies under the age of 45, the first assumption everyone makes is that it must be an overdose. An what's sadder is how often they are right

The sad thing is when I was in nursing school many years ago Our class was told several times that ‘Don’t be afraid to give a patient pain medication per doctors orders. OxyContin wasn’t additive if the patient was truly in pain.’ I had a patient call every Friday to get refills of pain medication. So I called every pharmacy in the area and this same person had prescription at every pharmacy. I notified the doctor at my clinic and he said I don’t want to hear that. I can’t stop prescribing pain medications for this guy because he will sue me. I was the person who had to call the pharmacy in after the doctor told me to. So I quit my job. I couldn’t justify that rationale.

@@pl7868 I totally hear you. Those were not my beliefs 20 plus years ago as I quit and they are still not my beliefs. When I was a practicing RN I did offer all my surgery patients pain medication on schedule times. I did not wait for them to ask me nor did I ignore their request. However, if Schedule pain meds were not effective I referred them for pain management consult. A doctor came and looked at all of the variables, spent and hour with patient, offered different pain medications, or additional medication, or time spacing, or therapeutic treatments. I felt good about a team approach to pain management. Then each nurse that followed had an idea of how to help. This is in a hospital setting though. However, there are pain management nurse practitioners or doctors that are fabulous and your primary doctor can refer you or someone you know to a pain management specialist.

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

The philosophy in healthcare was "you should never be in pain" during the 90s and 00s. I had aseptic necrosis of the hip joint, the ball joint at the top of my femur died, and began to break into pieces. I had progressively more pain, and a bad limp. My orthopedic surgeons thought it was a bad disk, and wanted to operate. But back surgery outcomes are often iffy, so I said no. When the damage was too obvious to miss, after 8 years of increasing difficulty walking, I finally had a hip replacement. (I have to admit that I have a higher than normal pain threshold. I walked and stood at work, rarely taking a break, year after year) While in the hospital, they set me up with a morphine pump while telling me that "You should never feel pain". So I dosed myself , but I was so doped up that I couldn't do my deep breathing exercises, I couldn't think clearly. I was more helpless being pain free than I wanted to be. I stopped using the pump. I told my nurses that "pain is instructive, it lets you know what you can and can't do." They were puzzled. Around me, in other rooms I could hear the sounds of others asking for help, people who'd had the same or similar surgeries, who were debilitated in a way that I no longer was. All of us went home with opiate prescriptions. I'm sure that some of them asked for refill after refill, and I'm sure they got them. Some may have become addicted, all because the medical profession decided that we shouldn't experience pain. Where was that philosophy decided? In pharmaceutical companies. They promoted it, they profited from it, and everyone believed in it.

I am actually loving Dope Sick so far and Michael Keaton is great in it, so are all the actors really. I had a friend who actually severely injured her back while she was a gymnast and was prescribed to oxycontin for awhile. I went with her one day to her so called "doctor's appointment", but it was actually a pill mill pain clinic. We pulled up and a girl was outside the front door vomiting into a garbage can. My friend said it was because the girl was "dope sick", and that was my introduction into the crazy, scary and often depressing world of pain pills, pain clinics and addiction. The next thing that happened was she started sharing her pills with me when I had a headache or didn't get a lot of sleep the night before. I actually didn't get addicted, but never said no either. Did know a lot of people who were though and saw them spend a lot of their time seeking drugs. It was depressing.

I saw how easily these meds were being handed out...and that was alarming to me. Another red flag was when a psychiatrist told a relative that the meds were NOT addictive. Mmmmm...it doesn't take a genius to figure out the body will become dependent and crave it after much exposure. Nothing is good in large quantities.

I lost My wife of 20 years at the age of 39 years old because of the addiction to the drug. As things tightened and she could not get anymore, she as many do moved on to Heroin. To get off she went into the Methadone program and was getting 120mg per day for over a year straight. She passed away in her sleep, 10 days after her 39 Th birthday. Her heart and liver were severely enlarged, so Methadone is just as bad or worse than Oxy.

I have a friend who’s boyfriend had knee replacement and had to spend a couple of weeks in a rehab facility that was highly recommended. Instead of getting him out of bed after a few days and doing PT, they kept giving him oxy and my friend said they gave it to him “like candy”. Hearing these guys say that is CHILLING.

My podiatrist told me once about Oxy: "oh that stuff, its time release codine, and those morons crush them up and snort them" He had many forms that said "Dr. XXXX will NOT take pages outside of hours to refill your prescription". I also once met a guy who threw himself down a flight of stairs to get a prescription

Unfortunately, my sister did something horrific to get the Oxy and I knew it. It was horrifying. I haven't spoken to her since. It involved burning herself. Oh man, I despise that family. Yeah, she told me you can't get addicted if you are truly in pain. BS. I watched God awful behavior from her, treating people like garbage. She had a brilliant mind. I mean, super high IQ and she could manipulate her way out of anything until she couldn't. Life is hell.

"Did Purdue know it was addictive?" I was in a surgical residency program when attendings began instructing us to prescribe Oxycontin. I avoided doing so whenever and wherever possible (and never prescribed it after graduating from residency), because OF COURSE a narcotic (derivative) is addictive! The only exception I'm aware of is dextromethorphan, because it is a mirror image of a full on narcotic, and that three dimentional difference makes all the difference.

Here's my take on this interview... Michael Keaton wasn't really aware of how bad Oxycontin and the Purdue Pharma company really is UNTIL he finished filming dope sick. I feel like during this interview he really has nothing to say because he is so disgusted and stunned after really knowing the true story. You could see even talking about it makes him uncomfortable. This is not like Michael Keaton. His interviews are much more enjoyable. Not saying that this one wasn't.

Please share, what illness or surgery you had where opioids were pushed on you? The series only conflates legitimate medication with the tragic results of illicit heroine use. It demonizes medication that many of us need. It is neither truthful nor enlightening. It is fear mongering by those want to see all legit pain meds banned because the majority of addicts blame prescription medications for their heroine use.

I think it also involves the ability to "play the movie forward" (and that's something that doesn't always just come naturally, but learned through the school of hard knocks and paying attention to the lessons other people are put through). Back in the day, I would listen to Rush Limbaugh on occasion. I really found fascinating his dad story of the struggle he was going through in breaking the addiction he was finding himself in with prescribed oxycodone. Having gone through 12 step recovery for a different issue, I have found that I can fall for addictive things very quickly. A short time later I went through a medical procedure and was offered oxycodone for the tremendous pain. I wisely put it all together and saw this for the pathway it could turn into. I requested my prescribing doc also referring me to pain management who would monitor my needs with the intent on getting me off them (and using other methods of getting through) as quickly as possible. It worked out beautiful in the long run even though it wasn't the easiest thing to go through in the process.
