Disability. Doctor Prescribed Percocet. What Is The Effect Of This Medication To Get People Addicted?l

There is a lady that lives in Meridian, MS. Her name is Dora Nause. She is on disability. and works at Blanks Motel in Meridian. I m not sure what Doctor she sees,or if its a Nurse Practitioner, but her first name is Traci.J DORA IS PRESCRIBED PERCOCET 10MG. She sells these pills for $5.00 each. I have a sister that has been battling addiction for many years, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! THIS NEEDS TO STOP! DORA KEEPS ONLY 2 OF HER PILLS TO TAKE BEFORE SHE GOES TO SEE HER DOCTOR, BECAUSE THEY DO A URINE SAMPLE TO MAKE SURE THIS M .EDICINE IS IN HER SYSTEM. HER SON, WILLIAM NAUSE ALSO SELLS THEM FOR HER,

Addiction Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hi,

Percocet contains an opioid and can cause dependence if taken for long. Please call your local police station and give this information to them so that they can appropriate action and stop this lady from causing further harm to people like your sister. If you wish, you can remain anonymous when you pass on the information. Regarding your sister, ask her if she wishes to quit and if she is willing, take her to a psychiatrist, preferably one who specializes in addiction medicine, to help her remain abstinent.

Best wishes.
