I live in Florida and was deep in the pill mill culture for a time (not a user, but as a councilor). I can tell you this right now, most prescription pill ODs weren't people taking too much of one thing, it's because they mixed their prescriptions. People taking Oxycontin then taking a Xanax and then never waking up. That is the most common way to OD on prescription pills. Very rarely (almost never) do you hear of someone just ODing on a single substance. In fact, I can't recall or remember someone just taking too much oxycontin and dying from it.
I'm not saying it can't or won't happen, it has happen, and will happen, but that it's so uncommon compared to what is actually killing people (mixing prescriptions/drugs/alcohol).
