Thanks Dave from PA. | M | 8 years | 5/29/2007 | 1 | fibro | Loses efficacy after a while (have developed HUGE tolerence...need to keep taking more to get any relief),. Also, hard to keep "boner." | M | 2 days | 11/11/2006 | 5 | Leisure | I felt good all the time. | It is most effective when crushed up and mixed with water followed by injection. | M | 7 | 3 years | 9/9/2004 | 2 | migraine | severe anxiety, trouble swallowing, trouble breathing, | My daughter was prescribed this in the hospital for a refactory headache that turned out to be a severe chronic migraine. It didn't help her pain at all and required a trip to the ER when she couldn't breathe. This was probably a very bad choice of drugs for an 8 year old. | F | 8 | 3 days | 10/17/2008 | 4 | pleasure. | At first, my body did NOT like the affects oxy had on it. I would throw up, and spend the next two days feeling horrible. and then, it started getting better. DO NOT make a mistake and accidently take too many. oxy is nothing like vicodin, or i believe any other pain medicine that your body may be able to tolorate three or four of. I heard about a man that took 3 and died from it. My father worked with this man. It is not safe to get into, and has the side affects of heroine and cocain. do not get addicted to this drug, its way to easy to. | F | 13 | | 7/11/2008 | 5 | Had gallbladder removed | Worked amazingly! Although I slept 20 of the 24 hours in a day. I was never in pain after the surgery. It did although make me very constipated(for a week) I occasionally take half of one for migraines... | F | 14 | 3 weeks | 4/3/2012 |
OXYCONTIN (OXYCODONE HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication is used to help relieve severe ongoing pain (such as due to cancer). Oxycodone belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) analgesics. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. The higher strengths of this drug (more than 40 milligrams per tablet) should be used only if you have been regularly taking moderate to large amounts of an opioid pain medication. These strengths may cause overdose (even death) if taken by a person who has not been regularly taking opioids. Do not use the extended-release form of oxycodone to relieve pain that is mild or that will go away in a few days. This medication is not for occasional ("as needed") use.
