Oxy is not low on the addiction scale. It is second to Heroin only pretty much, as someone said an Oxy 80 will go for as much as 80 dollars on the street. A lot of Heroin users rob small convenience stores to feed their habit, it's not uncommon in the world of opioid addiction. Hopefully he can get on Suboxone and get his life straightened out. I got on Suboxone after 2 years of an awful dope habit and it has saved my life.

Anyone wondering what Oxycontin/Heroin feels like, if you have taken Vicodin (Hydrocodone) or any other opiate painkillers, it's a strong version of that. A basic Percocet is 5 or 10 mg of Oxycodone. Oxycontin is basically an extended release form of Oxycodone, available in 40mg or 80mg doses. The "Oxy" stands for Oxycodone, the "Contin" is short for "Continuous", as in continuous release. The outside of the pill dissolves slowly to continuously release the Oxycodone for people with chronic pain, but addicts crush the pill up and snort it, circumventing the continuous release and getting the entire dose in one go. It really does feel like snorting Heroin, although nothing is close to shooting Heroin. The pills go for a ridiculously high price on the street; Oxycodone is generally between .50 and 1 dollar per mg, so a single 80mg OC pill can fetch 80 dollars, although not always that much. A person with a bad Heroin habit will sell the pill though, and buy 4 20 bags of dope, getting 4 times the high. A single 20 bag of raw dope can get you the same high as an Oxy 80, probably more, for 1/4 the price.

Oh my bad then. That's crazy

I took some painkillers for a while, a little bit longer than my pain, but it was hydrocodone, I don't know if that's strong. I felt a little sick after I stopped (ran out) but never felt "addicted"

OxyContin must be some pretty strong shit then

LOL, hydrocodone is also a semi-synthetic opiate derived from codeine and thebaine. Wow, I am surprised when people will just put drugs in their body without doing some research on them first. I dont think I have put a legal or illegal drug in my body since I was 13 without researching it first.

I took them because a doctor prescribed them to me, there was nothing illegal or stupid about it.

I didnt say it was illegal or stupid. I am just surprised that people will put something in their body without wanting to know what it is they are putting in their body. It may just be that I am a much different person then you, but I am very interesting in knowing that sort of thing. Sorry if I offended you.

edit: and just because it is a legal drug doesnt make it any safer than illegal ones. I know we have been told to trust doctors, but I just like to be aware of what it is that I am putting in my body.

edit2: You had no concern that you might of been prescribed an addictive or harmful drug? Many people are prescribed pain medications by their doctor and become addicted. I would just think you would want to know what chance of addiction that drug presents so you can take the necessary steps to ensure you dont become addicted yourself.

I admire your dedication to do research on any drug before you take it. But in a lot of circumstances, the best research is just asking doctors. On the internet you have to wade through a lot of conspiracy theories and other crap. Doctors spend half their life learning these things, and a good doctor will watch over you carefully if you're taking something potentially addictive. The drugs are also studied and approved by FDA (however fallible they may be, it's still far better than taking an unapproved/illegal drug). So it's probably safe for DoctorHelvetica* to trust his doctor.

If someone is addicted to their prescribed pain meds, it's possible that their doctor is stupid, but more likely it's just the best option they have, they would rather need a drug than to suffer constant pain.

*not a real doctor, but he is a real worm??

Painkillers suck. Nausea and itchy noses for the loss.

OC is garbage. My buddy plugged like 3 pills once and tried to kill his mom. I hate that stuff.

Painkillers are fucking awesome. They made my life tolerable when I worked at the factory.

Off the top of my head I can probably name three or four illegal/unapproved drugs that are vastly safer than any prescription pill (with great medicinal value). Most doctors I have met actually don't know anything about the scientific workings/effects of the pills they prescribe. They reference the prescription label or booklet as much as most people do, and prescribe off simply knowing what pills generally counter other things, and usually make sure you won't have an allergic reaction to it. I'm sorry, but you realllly should not base your standards of what you put into your body based off the government/FDA. Tragically enough, they are not for self-sovereignty, so therefore cannot have an unbiased say in these matters.
