Opiates generally fail inasmuch as tolerance decreases the effect and something happens in the brain that makes dose escalation beside the point.It may be particularly prominent with oxycodone, that black depression, but I've heard it from many people. Not just people who used it for pain, either. Anecdote, I know, but....I don't think this sort of thing gets published.
