FDA Approves OxyContin for Kids as Young as 11
I know for me, I would have pretty strong memories and never forget the feeling if I used it as a child. I don't know if it could be considered chasing a high. It doesn't seem right.

Quote:
The Food and Drug Administration has approved limited use of the powerful and frequently abused painkiller OxyContin for children as young as 11 years old, the agency announced Thursday.
Dr. Sharon Hertz, director of new anesthesia, analgesia and addiction products for the FDA, said studies by Purdue Pharma of Stamford, Connecticut, which manufactures the drug, "supported a new pediatric indication for OxyContin in patients 11 to 16 years old and provided prescribers with helpful information about the use of OxyContin in pediatric patients." Hertz said the FDA was putting strict limits on the use of OxyContin in children. Unlike adults, children must already have shown that they can handle the drug by tolerating a minimum dose equal to 20 milligrams of oxycodone for five consecutive days, she said.
"We are always concerned about the safety of our children, particularly when they are ill and require medications and when they are in pain," she said. "OxyContin is not intended to be the first opioid drug used in pediatric patients, but the data show that changing from another opioid drug to OxyContin is safe if done properly."

Yeah only read threat title. I started using drugs at 12, although i wouldnt say its ideal for a 12 year old to be taking hydros from him mom, much less oxies from the doctor.

From my personal experience the comparisonof strength of oxy compared to hydrocodone is remarkable. Codeine is nothing in comparison

They give IR oxycodone/hydrocodone to children all the time for pain (broken bones, oral surgery, normal surgery, etc) and what it is saying is that they need to be on 20mg IR oxycodone for 5 days in a row (to demonstrate they're taking a "large" enough dose and "need" extended release, aka oxycontin)

May as well turn them into methadone or suboxone patients before they can drive if they end up surviving. They make scripts rain to renew their patent and corner the market, but to there is an increasing number of pain patients turning to heroin. Dolla dolla pills ya'll.

I certainly don't think seriously ill (terminally ill, post surgery, or other diseases/injuries that cause severe chronic pain) children should be denied access to pain medication. That being said doctors could certainly over prescribe as is done with add meds and that wouldn't be a good thing, though I'm sure the DEA's hawk eyes on doctors will prevent that to some extent.
