The chart at the bottom indicates "common" prescription opioid ODs exceed illicit opioid ODs for at least 16 consecutive years and counting. Most likely longer, but the chart doesn't include data before 2000. It also doesn't combine "common" prescription opioids with ODs from prescription fentanyl and tramadol listed under other synthetics.
