OxyContin Information
OxyContin
Currently it is best known as the main active ingredient in a number of oral medications commonly prescribed for the relief of moderate to severe pain. Oxycodone can be combined with inert binders (e.g., OxyContin, Roxicodone, OxyIR); with paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen (e.g., Percocet, Endocet, Tylox, Roxicet); with aspirin (e.g., Percodan, Endodan, Roxiprin); and with ibuprofen (Combunox). Of the oral medications containing oxycodone, OxyContin is notable for its sales, for controversies concerning its patent status and marketing, and for its potentials for hazardous use, harmful use, dependence, and diversion.

I have been taking 15mg of Oxycontin for about year now. I first injured my back about 7yrs ago. At the time i was just taking 5mg Percocets a couple times a day. but it really didn't do much for me. I have tried for as long as i could to not take Oxy, but 10mg of Percocet doesn't do much for you when you have been on them for years. I have the L3-L4,L4-L5an L5-S1 all herniated and degenerated. I have more recently noticed some real changes in my personality. Severe mood swings, i find myself just activated and frustrated all the time. I have really bad sleep habits. hard time getting to sleep and staying a sleep. then when i do i don't want to get out of bed. I just don't feel like myself anymore and i was wondering if anyone else has had the same feelings or experiences. thanks

OxyContin Chemical Information
oxycodone hydrochloride - The hydrochloride salt of oxycodone, a methylether of oxymorphone and semisynthetic opioid agonist with analgesic and antitussive properties. Oxycodone binds to mu-receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), thereby mimicking the effects of endogenous opiates. In addition to analgesia and a depressive effect on the cough center in the medulla, this agent may cause euphoria, anxiolysis, miosis, sedation, physical dependence, constipation, and respiratory depression, depending on dosage and variations in individual metabolism.
