Answer by Damien
Laws around opiate type drugs are a lot tougher in Australia. Panadeine, which is the closest nonprescription equivalent, now should require a conversation with your pharmacist, and they will likely register your details to prevent you getting it too often. If you have fairly bothersome pain a doctor will prescribe the stronger version, Panadeine Forte with perhaps one repeat, if it is likely to be ongoing. This has 30 mgs of codeine, and 500 of paracetamol; the standard over the counter versions vary, from 8 to as high as 15. This is not the same drug as Vicodin, but works on the same receptors. For very servere pain doctors might prescribe morphine, commonly oxycontin or endone, the former being the slow release version. These tend to be reserved for chronic debilitating pain, or after some types of surgery, and for generally well people this is discontinued as quickly as possible or replaced by something less habit forming.
