OxyContin and medication

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.

Oxicodone is a horrible drug. My husband takes 10 mg twice a day and his mood swings are something else. The smallest thing can set him of. One time he told me he would divorce me because I forgot to buy him his breakfast cereal. I don't know what to do. If I call his physician my husband may find out about it. My husband and I have been married for many years and we were good friends. We have became strangers because of this 'medication'.

My husband has been taking Oxycontin for about four years after many other meds that didn't take care of the pain. He has had two failed back surgeries and really needs this for the pain. Some times I think that it's a good medication and other times not. The withdrawls are the most awful thing I have ever seen in my life. He can not sleep, he kicks his feet, rolls around on the bed just trying to get away from the feelings. He says it feels like his legs are on fire. It made me cry to see him like that and I hope I never see that again.
