Bill (Drugs for good gone wrong...)

Your roommate Bill has had chronic pain issues since he broke his jaw in a mountain biking accident about a year ago. You know that he finished his prescription painkillers four months ago, but you're concerned he's been taking something else. Quite frequently you find Bill passed out in his room, and when he is awake, he doesn't seem to care about much. He stopped volunteering at the animal shelter and says his pain is way better than it was a few months ago. Today you find a syringe in the bathroom sink and your landlord sends an email to say Bill did not pay his share of this month's rent. What drug is Bill on?
