3 | Chronic Sciatica | Dry Mouth, Constipation, Feeling of not being totally 'with it'. | Started off on 2 x 10mg tabs daily which at first worked fine. However after 6 months the effect was wearing off. Now on 2 x 20mg tabs daily. Pain markedly reduced but do feel kind of sedated a lot of the time. | M | 42 | 7 months | 8/3/2004 | 5 | | 7/25/2004 | 1 | | 7/3/2004 | 5 | rsd | Nausea for about a week, headaches, major withdrawl symptoms if dose is not taken on time. The ups and downs and highly addictive. | This does work very well for chronic pain. I have tried them all except the patches which is what I am going to have to go to now because my DR says this is causing my kidneys to not filter properly which is causing me to have edema in the feet ankles and legs, a very hard time urinating, blood in my urine and severe back pain. The only problem is that I am on 160 mg every 8 hours and I am slowly tapering off but having very bad withdrawls, It's like a time clock going off in my body when it's time to take it, the chills start and I am just miserable. Not sure how I am going to get through it but I just keep asking the lord to help me. Despite all of that it does work well but is highly addictive and it doesn't take long. SO BE CAREFULL!! Should only be used for severe chronic pain. | F | 33 | 2 days | 7/2/2004 | 4 | cronic back and neck pain | none so far | does not totally elliminate the pain,but it makes life much better. | M | 57 | 30 days | 6/18/2004 | 4 | back pain | none | M | 57 | 90 days | 6/14/2004 | 5 | | 6/1/2004 | 1 | F | 25 | 5 days | 5/17/2004 | 5 | nurapathy, crnic bk pn, crpel tun | Drowiness, dizziness, lighthedness, constipation | Wonderful drug to use if correctly | F | 35 | 3 years | 5/11/2004 | 3 | Chronic Backpain Failed Surgery | Presecribed by Pain Mgmnt, 4 years, can no longer get relief, max 80 mg per day, more recently 30 mg per day, voluntarily quitting, decided the drug is effective however extremely addictive and my body is dictating my intake, time to quit altogther and go it alone! | I am anxious over the nightmares I've read and seen people go through when undergoing withdrawal. | M | 49 | 4 years | 5/11/2004 | 1 | my husband took it for fibromyalgia | 3 year addiction after only being on it 2 months. He had monthly withdraws. Final withdraw was accompanied with 30 days of insomnia | This drug is being pushed by the pharmacuedical company under false information. This is a very dangerous drug. I know of over 10 addicts personally now. Make sure you do research on this before you allow your doctor to put you on it. Once you are hooked it could take up to 18 months for your brain to start operating correctly. | F | 32 | 3 years | 4/21/2004 | 4 | M | 25 | 1 years | 4/15/2004 | 5 | To get high | euphoria, the world becomes a very warm soft mellow place. | I had a connect that knew where to get the 40's. I first tried it by cutting one in half and ate it. I blew chunks most of that night but still for some odd reason that didn't stop me from trying again. My tolerance went from just 1/2 a 40, to within one month I was snorting 80mg a day and drinking 2 bottles of wine to add to the effects. I did this for about 5 months. At the same time I was smoking alot of marijuana and ciggarettes. I decided to go cold turkey from all four substances because I've quit smoking pot and ciggarettes and booze all at once before it wasn't that bad. Well within 12 hours I started to feel very odd. Within 24 hours I was rolling on the floor crying out to God to please take my life. This lasted for 4 days till I finally couldn't take anymore and copped 20mg of liquid methadone. That methadone not only saved my life, or so it felt so, but it got me over the hump enough that I was able to go back to work within two days. Moral of the story....don't use this drug to get high. It will destroy you very quickly and you will wish you were dead when going through withdrawal. Thank god I never got ahold of some needles to shoot the crap up. I'll also let you know it messed my suinuses up pretty bad. Took about a month till I could breath normal again. Only take this drug if you are in extreme pain. Peace and sobriety ! | M | 36 | 5 months | 4/1/2004 | 1 | Oxycontin has riuned my life, my husband's life and the life of my child, because of my husband's addiction. Anyone on here that thinks they're cool because they have taken it just to get high are idiots and will never be able to do anything with their lives. | F | 26 | | 3/28/2004 | 5 | to get hhiigghh | i got wacked man!! | its great if u knwo what your at.. but there nuts and kills alota bodies byz! so be careful | F | 18 | 9 months | 3/18/2004 | 5 | Cronic pain | Constipation | I only took it 3 days but It got rid of my Cronic pain. but one day i went outside to do some Lawn work & It was verey hot out & I vomited.
