OxyContin activates brain regions that produce euphoric sensations as well as physical dependence.
Approximately three hundred people, mainly young thrill seekers, have died from excessive dosages and experimentation with OxyContin.
An added abuse of prescription oxycodone is passed on to chronic pain sufferers who have experienced marked relief from the drug. As a consequence of extremely tight controls in some areas physicians have hesitated prescribing it to patients.
Many pain patients become dependent on OxyContin for more than pain relief and find themselves with a full scale addition that has led to severe and damaging consequences.

OxyContin Overdose

OxyContin Overdose such as other opiates and opioids, can be dangerous.
Internet Health Caregivers Edward Barbien, a toxologist at National
Medical Services in Willow Grave said, ".anyone can die from it
(OxyContin) if they chew or crush it as they take it." Frequent and
repeated use of the drug can cause the user to develop a tolerance to
its effects, so larger doses are required to elicit the desired
sensation and the abuser gets increasingly addicted to the drug.
Eventually an overdose
does occur when too much OxyContin enters the system.
Symptoms of an overdose
from OxyContin are:
slow
breathing
seizures
dizziness
weakness
loss
of consciousness
coma
confusion
tiredness
cold
and clammy skin
small
pupils.
18 year old Eddie Bisch died on February 19th 2001 after chewing the
Central Nervous System depressant and powerful painkiller OxyContin. His
death was a result of mixing the prescription medication OxyContin and
other substances, including alcohol. He made a mistake and paid for it
with his life. OxyContin is a powerful painkiller which has the ability
to destroy and end lives.
OxyContin is very dangerous when taken with other drugs, especially
depressants. In Philadelphia, 22 deaths have been linked to OxyContin in
a 3 month period. An increase in the abuse of OxyContin has lead to the
increase of overdoses. OxyContin related deaths are on the rise across
the nation and the deaths in Philadelphia have skyrocketed from 17 in
1999 to 41 in 2000 and an estimated 80 in 2001.
