a semi-synthetic opioid. released to the public around 1995 and has recently become more popular than crack and cocaine.
i was a coke head, a crack addict and a meth junkie and all of those drug habits i beat on my own. i wish i could say the same for oxycontin. i started using it as a prescribed pain management system, but it wasn't too long before i developed a dependency and starting working just to support my habit. as for it's pain killing properties there can't be a more powerful substitute. likewise, with its addictive qualities, there can't be a harder habit to break. i think i could give up cigarettes before oxy's. this drug is more dangerous to abuse than just about any other drug. the withdrawl is beyond description. it amazes me that the FDA allows something like this to hit the market. what's more amazing is that doctors seeem to know very little about it, or they simply don't care to tell you what they do know. my doctor gave me no indication that it was so highly addictive, or that the withdrawl would be equivallent to a week in a torture chamber.
to anyone looking for a powerful pain killer, watch out for these pills. they are incredibly expensive to get on the streets when your script runs out. where i live, it is common to pay upwards of 40-50 bucks for one 80mg pill. last week i got a great deal, 30 eighties for 150 bucks. i've already gone through them and need more. the withdrawl has hit me and i would rather be dead than feel like this

Oxycontin-;A pill that comes from your local dealer round the way. Comes in pink 20's yellow 40's, n them off-green fat boy 80's. A pill u clean, bust down with a hose clamp from your car -wich can easily be converted into a cheese-grater like tool, only its not cheese your about to grate-,and people either snort, or melt it down and shoot it up. Highly addictive, known to be Highly euphoric, and HIGHLY expensive.
I was addicted to Oxycontin for a good 5 years before i got off of them bitches, had the money to do it, had vast access to snag it, and a tolerance to the stuff that you wouldnt believe. I coulda probably done enough OC in one day to put down a friggin Rhino. Thats how bad it gets. Once that tolerance builds up, your Screwed, cause it takes more and more to get off like you want to. Just dont friggin do it folks. Be smart. If yall already do them things, You know what the F**k im talkin bout.

Synthetic opiate used as a powerful prescription pain-killer, but also popular in rural america as an illegal and cheap narcotic to get high on. Often referred to as "hillbilly heroin" for it's reputation and popularity among the avante garde of the local trailer park.

Rush talking to his maid: "Get me 1,000 more oxycontin tablets, oh and don't tell anybody because I rag on addicts every day and don't want anybody to know what a hypocrite I am........

Oxycontin is a controversial drug which is specially coated to deliver small amounts of oxycodone over a long peroid of time. This narcotic is often abused by removing the coating and then either injected, snorted, or taken orally to enter the body all at once. This causes a rushing high similar to heroin.

PRONUNCIATION CORRECTION:
AWK-SEE-CON-TON
A legitimate opiate pain medication intended only to alleviate moderate to severe intractable pain under the supervision of a physician for documented conditions. It is dangerous and against the law not to mention better judgement and common sense to pursue any other use. To imply that oxycontin or any narcotic analgesic should be taken with alchohol or taken in crushed form is quite wrong, not to mention stupid and DEADLY. Oxycontin relieves severe nerve pain and other moderate to severe pain in those who REQUIRE IT, by slightly depressing the central nervous system- thus someone not initiated in opiate therapy (as in someone who is not prescribed this medicine or whom takes it against package instructions and doctors orders) is putting their lives at risk by getting 12 hours worth of medicine all at once, thus excessively depressing their central nervous systems and ceasing the breathing mechanism, slowing heart/pulse rate, DUH...Oxycontin is not intended as a 'high' for anyone, but as a PRESCRIBED, TAKEN AS DIRECTED pain relief medicine for those in pain PERIOD. In this capacity it can save lives. It is also a controlled substance under the law, because of the fools who believe it's intended for getting stoned. It's certainly hoped the erroneous definitions dissapear- any comparison to heroin is irrelevant(although heroin is also a pain medicine which was so widely abused in our society that it has been outlawed in this country, though it is still in use overseas today for legitimate purpose).

Jane was prescribed OXYCONTIN for deep visceral nerve pain following a botched back operation which left her in agonizing pain. OXYCONTIN has given Jane some quality of life back. Jane must keep her OXYCONTIN locked in a secret cabinet because of the idiots who wish to abuse it in order to get 'high'. Jane does not get high from her medication, she gets relief.

ocycotin is a highly addictive synthetic opiate. Its chemical make up is side by side to heroin. But unlike the raw street drug heroin, in with you never no its exact content, oxycontin is pure and clean. i like to think of scientist with gowns and hairnets mixing my shit then some street scum mixing in watever concoction will make 4 a better profit, ive nown 2many overdosers dyin from streetnigger shit. not prejudose just miss the dead!!
oxycontin, as great a high as any other maybe just a little better, but as anyone who can explain thats been in the shoes of an o head what goes up must come down, and belive me you uasally come crashing down, like most of us we cant afford rehab so my best advice for kicking is either take just enough each day not to be as sick as a cold turkey and wean off or switch over to perc 10-325 until the oc is out of the system then try and score some suboxin, finaly, get yourself some nyquil cause its probly the only way youll get any rest for at least a clean week
