The most commonly abused prescription drugs fall under the opiate category and include:
-Percocet (tyloxx, roxicet, perloxx,endocet,magnacet)-these are all pills containing varying amounts of oxycodone (2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg) and acetominophen (325 mg, 600 mg, 650 mg)
-Vicodin (vicoprofen, lorcet, lortab) These are all pills containing varying amounts of hydrocone and ibuprofen.
- OxyContin (Oxycodone Hydrochloride) this particular medication was developed for moderate-to-severe pain control and is typically used in cases where the patient has a long-term recovery or is not expected to recover (i.e. cancer). Oxycontin is prescribed in dosages of 20, 40, and 80 milligrams. Overdose by recreational users is fairly common due to the fact that the oxycodone is not titered, or mixed, with an analgesic like acetominophen or ibuprofen, and it is very difficult for new users to determine a safe dosage without prior knowledge of the effects of oxycodone.
More experienced users can ingest higher doses with little ill effects because of their body's tolerance to the drug.
-Sedative/hypnotics such as valium, xanax, klonopin are also highly abused. These medications produce a feeling of euphoria and are also used as a relaxant.
-muscle relaxants, such as flexeril, skelaxin, and others.

The number of people who get hooked using them recreationally is far higher than those who become addicted after surgery and other procedures.
Prescription drugs are easier and safer to get than illegal drugs, and it's technically legal to possess them if you have a prescription.
