OxyContin and cold turkey

I HAVE BEEN ON OXYCONTIN FOR 2 YEARS AND I HAVE TAKEN EVERY OTHER PAIN DRUG BEFORE THIS ONE AND NOTHING WORKED LIKE THIS DRUG.BUT I RAN OUT ONE DAY AND WHAT WITHDRAWLS.I WAS SWEATING,CRAMPS IN THE STOMACH,MY LEGS WERE GOING CRAZY,NAUSEA,LOTS OF PAIN AND EVERYTHING BOTHERED ME,EVEN THE SMALL THINGS.I HAVE CAME OFF OF ALOT OF PAIN MEDICATIONS COLD TURKEY AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WHICH INCLUDED DEMEROL,MS CONTIN,PERCOCET AND MANY OTHER MEDICATIONS .THIS IS A GREAT DRUG FOR MY BACK PAIN BUT IT IS THE WORST MEDICATION TO GET OFF OF IT.REGRADS MR.COOK.

Sorry i was just reading alot of the things people have been writting on here and, my concern doesnt have to do with me it's a friend of mine and, i am really worried about her she has come off the Oxycontin 2 times now and she was put in the hospital both times and, now she is tlaking about going back on them because she cant deal with the pain.
Now i have done alot of reading up on this med and there's nothing really goood even said about it; people have died talking it and others have had alot of side affects, like my firend, now she is 26 yrs old and has a boyfriend and a 7 month old son, they have done everything they can for her to try and get away from this drug but it just doesnt seem to be helping i just want to know what i can do to help her. If you have any answers for me please let me know.
