In 95% of all high school / college shootings, the killers have been on, or have recently been taken off of OxyContin, or other similar pharmaceutical drugs.

Don't believe me? Google it.

What incredible and irresponsible BS.!!

The previous comment about the link between OxyContin is just another example of the morons running the special-Ed farm.

I did “Google it" and guess what even the pararandom word association that is the Google search algorithm didn't match up to this ridiculous idea.

Grow up JelloBiafra and stop spreading your foolish and criminal lies;
it is people like you that spin the yarns that evils uses to tie down truth and beauty.

oxy is great. it makes you feel wonderful AND takes the pain away. its here to stay. deal with it.

On Decemeber 27, 2004 my mother died of an morphine overdose. She had became addicted to Oxycontin. Her doctor abruptly stopped prescribing her Oxy and she sought painkillers on the street. I ultimately believe Oxycontin played a direct hand in her demise. Justice will never be served for me and my family. For that to happen it would mean give us our mother back.

I take 80 mg. 120 per month and it kills my pain. it si a 'great' product if you want to die of the side effects. quit whinning about it and sue them, they will pay, 'Bigtime', I did!.......High in Idaho by the lake.

Is oxycodone the same as oxycontin?

PLEASE know that Oxycontin is as hard to kick as heroin. I KNOW!! I did it in the year 2000. I had been prescribed the morphine patch for pain from a neck injury in an auto accident. After a medical procedure, the pain was gone. My doctor started me on Oxycontin to replace the morphine so I could titrate down to zero drugs. My doctor was under the impression that Oxycontin was less addictive given the advice of the drug reps. The 9 month withdrawal from the Oxycontin was the most debilitating, painful process that I have endured in my entire life. Believe me, Oxycontin is a killer. Mark S is living in lala land. From a now 62 year old grandmother who has/had no other dealing with drugs.

Oxycontin may kill the pain but it is destroying lives. What about the young children of the people that are getting addicted to this drug!!!! Then there are the Pain Management" Clinics. I feel that they are to blame for alot of the additions today. I had to threaten the doctor to make him stop giving my child enough "dope" to kill a blue whale.
The local police departments and sheriffs need to do something year round to get the dealers off the streets- not just in an election year. These drugs are ruining our wonderful country whether the drugs are obtained by prescription or other means

If you take too much of it will you become an Oxymoron?

I take the 80mg 4 times a day and it does make me able to function, but it doesn't take all the pain away by any means. It also doesn't make me euphoric and go up and down all day like the Percocets did. Since it's time released, it lets me feel more noraml than the other pain killers did before. Now that I am firmly dependent upon it, and the people who have abused it have ruined its reputation, they have increased the already very high price by 100%(I'm uninsured and out of pocket). I, who have faithfully followed the rules and finally found a little bit of relief, get punished and I'm not looking forward to the future. I can't wait for the replies to this telling me I don't need pain medication. I'd like them to walk one day in my shoes.

im steve im 36 yrs old im oxycodone 10mgs it helps me more than the drug vicodin es 7.5/750mgs or codeine ...im on disabilty i have neuropathy ....back pain vicodin never helped enough so theres no reason justs to say oxy is addicting ...because there are alotta pills like vitamins that get addicting my opinion im also on xanax ive been on it for 12 yrs im 36 yrs old theres nothing wrong with it for medical reasons ......plus its better than killing people for herion from steve in southern ca

Now that I am force (worker's comp) to take the generic oxycontin's, I find that my regular dosage of 40mg 3x's daily is nowhere enough. I'm even taking vicodin for breakthrough. If I choose to pay the difference for the brand name do you think the pharmacist would be ok with that?? I need some relief.

cars kill too but they keep making them,alot of people NEED painkillers,just as you should drive a car like an idiot but people do,i take 20 mg oxycodone 3 times daily,im hooked physically and mentally,the dr knows,but i couldnt even sit here without them
