        • Using Opioids for Chronic Pain.<\/li>
        • Mixing opioids with alcohol or medication that has a “downer” or relaxing effect (Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, Valium, or sleeping pills).<\/li>
        • \u00a0Accidental overdose by unaware family, children and elderly.<\/li>
        • If you don’t know how potent the drug is or you haven’t taken them in awhile, it is easy to take too much. If you aren’t sure how strong it is, take less to start.<\/li>
        • Pills come in different strengths. OxyContin can be a 10mg pill or an 80mg pill. Big Difference! Know what you are taking!<\/li>
