Most painkillers also stimulate portions of the brain associated with pleasure. Thus, in addition to blocking pain, they produce a “high.” The most powerful prescription painkillers are called opioids, which are opium-like 1 compounds. They are manufactured to react on the nervous system in the same way as drugs derived from the opium poppy, like heroin. The most commonly abused opioid painkillers include oxycodone, hydrocodone, meperidine, hydromorphone and propoxyphene. Oxycodone has the greatest potential for abuse and the greatest dangers.

While it is true that a smaller dose of these drugs may be required to obtain the same analgesic response as can be obtained with morphine, that fact does not mean that they have greater effectiveness.
