Make it through Oxy Withdrawal Using Rehab, Medication, and Support from Narcotics Anonymous

I decided to give those who may not be aware the low down of Oxy withdrawal also known as Oxycontin withdrawal. Oxycontin is a time release brand of oxycodone; furthermore, for those who do not know this is a very powerful opiate drug. It is my opinion it ranks right up there with heron and it could in fact be stronger than morphine as far strength. I think that it is also just as addicting as heroin too.

Taking oxy’s everyday will change a person brain chemistry. Most heavy users of oxycontin will develop a tolerance after abusing oxy’s for a short period. Here the thing every drug that gets you high if abused the addict will have to take more and more to get the desired effect.

This occurs many time with people who are using this drug to control severe pain. Its starts out rather innocently for example, lets say the patient one day takes their medication and finds that it did not work to kill there pain so they decided to increase the dose without contacting the doctor who prescribed them. If this behavior is continued they will develop a tolerance and oxycontin addiction will soon follow.

Do this enough times and you will undoubtedly an Oxy addiction.

Once a person becomes addicted to oxycontin there is no turning back. A lot of oxy addicts turn to heroin because the price of oxycontin is outrageous. They have found out that they can get a bag of dope for hardly anything compared to the price of the oxy’s.
