Oxycodone, oxycotin?!


Question: Oxycodone, oxycotin!?
What is the difference between the two!?!? I know they are pain killers precribed by a doctor!. Why are they abused "on the street!?" What do they get from taking a pain killer!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The issue is this!. Oxycontin is a larger dosage of the same drug, specially formulated so that it is time-released (dosage lasts 12 hours, typically)!. This long action is really helpful to people in constant (chronic) pain, because then they're not getting relief and then no relief all day, or having to take a pill every 2-4 hours!. Some people are prescribed both, taking one Oxycontin every 8-12 hours and some oxycodone for 'breakthrough' pain (which is pain that is felt too extremely during those same 8-12 hours)!.

On the street, Oxycontin is crushed, releasing all of the larger dosage at once!. This then causes a narcotic 'high' similar to that of heroin - makes you very relaxed, sleepy, noddy!. A big problem is when people who try this for the first time on the street don't realize how powerful a drug this is, they take too much and die (stop breathing)!. Really, pretty damn stupid!. People that take this drug as prescribed are started at a very small dosage and that dosage is increased only when it's no longer effective!. This problem makes a very useful drug for chronic pain very hard to get, because idiots abuse it!. (I know, I used it properly for 5 years, and lots of doctors and hospitals and pharmacists don't understand the proper treatment of chronic pain and freak out when they hear the word 'Oxycontin'!.)

If you need these drugs, get them from a doctor and take them as prescribed!. If you're abusing them, or know someone who is!.!.!.get help - it's SERIOUS!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

oxycodone is the main ingredient of the brand name painkiller Oxycontin!.

as for why - because it kills pain (physical and emotional), causes the person to feel relaxed, calm and generally in a good mood, and makes their body feel nice all over!.

its also very easy to get addicted and it can ruin your life!. you might want to seriously think about it before you experiment with these types of things!. just dont judge anybody else if they choose to experiment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They are both narcotics which are pain killers!.
They can produce feelings of euphoria and a sense of wellbeing!.

Oxycodone is a short acting pain killer usually given for acute severe pain!.
Oxycontin is a longer acting pain killer for the same type of pain but is also used for chronic pain!.

They are abused because they make people feel good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
