nothing good can come of asking if a pill is water-soluble ...

If your taking the medication like it is prescibed and meant to be taken then there should be no worries if they gel up or not. This medication helps alot of people on serious pain and it is people who snort shoot and crush them that makes it so hard for the legitimate patients to get the medicine they need!
I am sorry if this offends you or anyone else but the fact remains that this abuse and misuse and diversion has caused so many problems for people in serious pain that need help.
Purdue was even called out by the DEA because of people who abuse divert and misuse this drug and at one point there was even talk of having it removed from the market because of it. What if that had happened? Where would all the legitimate patients who count on this medication to function and have some sort of quality of life while dealing with chronic pain?
I get very upset and angry when I hear of people trying to find out how to abuse medications that we the chronic pain Pt's have to depend on to survive daily.
To all the ones who are out there reading this that are one of the people who abuse, misuse or divert pain medications I hope that one day your not in a situation where you have to rely on these medications to survive daily to deal with chronic pain. Think of others and yourself. Your not just hurting yourself but many many others by your actions!

where i live ( mi) its pretty much impossible to find a pharmacy whom carry  the brand name ones. Im pretty sure soon here in MI you won't be able to find anything but generic. Unless its off the street

Only the generics by Teva do that.  My understanding is that they will not be selling generic Oxy any longer once the sell out of the supply.  As far as I know the regular one don't do that
