OxyContin Addiction
If you have been prescribed OxyContin and you're no longer taking the drug as prescribed by the doctor, you may have developed an OxyContin addiction. OxyContin is one of the most commonly abused prescription drugs and you are not alone in your suffering. However; please understand that an addiction to this drug is extremely difficult to recover from on your own and professional OxyContin addiction treatment needs to be administered as soon as possible.
OxyContin Withdrawal
The primary reason why OxyContin is so hard to overcome is the fact that its withdrawal symptoms can be so overwhelming that most people find it easier to just take another dose. OxyContin withdrawal symptoms can occur as quickly as a few hours after the last administration. Common withdrawal symptoms associated with OxyContin addiction include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Seizures
- Cold and clammy skin
- Pinpoint pupils
- Confusion
- Apathy
- Weakness
- Slow, shallow breathing
OxyContin Addiction and Drug Combinations
When used as a recreational drug, OxyContin is commonly combined with other drugs and substances like alcohol, Xanax, Ambien or Seroquel. Experimenting with these types of drug cocktails can place the user at significant risk of experiencing an overdose. Users often do not fully understand the effects OxyContin can have on their bodies. Constant use will eventually lead to chronic ailments and if treatment is not administered the drug's effects can prove fatal. The only way to fight an OxyContin addiction is to seek professional medical help immediately.
