What is it like to abuse Oxycontin?

When taking this medication and for a long period of time, over a year or so-You do become addicted in a sense to Oxy, Even if your taking it correctly your body craves it.
When I don't take My Oxy on time and try to over sleep the withdrawal is awful, I've even been through the withdrawal waiting for my medication at the pharmacy.
You profusly sweat, like you took a shower. Your body is lethargic, Some People vomit-I do, a lot. Watery Eyes, Yawning uncontrollable & runny nose. Sometimes I can't sit still and kinda slumpy. It is the worst feeling ever.
My Own Dr accused me of going through withdrawal as she thought I was taking too much Oxy but found out quickly I had Pnemonia as the systems are kinda of the same for some People, very Flu like. I got an Apology. Just use it with caution and make sure you have made a Plan with your Dr, as if You do take these Oxy there will be a day when your prescription ends before they can give you more and You will have withdrawals systems. This drug is guarded well by your Dr and usually you have to sign paperwork and make a plan before they even issue this drug out. So always try to keep a couple at the side in case. As having withdrawal like I did at a Rite Aid Pharmacy was pretty embrassing.
