I want to kill myself because of what oxy has done to me, where i live in vermont they cost 90 or 100 dollars for 1 80mg tablet, and when you need 5 or 6 a day just to not be in severe pain and be sick its like oxy has eaten me up and spit me out. i have been to rehab a couple times and still i cannot stop, its has given me insomnia so bad that most of the time i sleep every other day and sometimes be up for a few days just because i cant fall asleep. I can eat right and its all because of oxycontin. i wish they never made that drug. I want to do something about this, i have had the worst pain and suffering the last few years that id rather be dead then be addicted. i am a 22 year old male, and i am severly hooked on oxycontin, it has more then ruined my life, i started about 7 years ago and its has gotten to be so bad that i have lost everything, i have no job because all i want to do is more pills.

I can remember taking my husband gun ( he was a police officer) and threatned to kill myself because I did not want to lose my drug. Well it took for me to hit rock bottom and I finally admitted I needed to get off the medicine, I called my doctor and you would not even believe his response, at first he increased my dosage and I had the willpower and a whole lot a courage and went to him and lied and told him i was pregnant well he then decided to " discharge" me as a patient. I finally went to rehab and for two days I went through the worst hell of my life. I laid in my own throw up for two days,. rehab employees told me that was part of rehab to see how hard it was to get off and wanted to remind me if i ever forgot how bad it was. I remember the first night I told my husband to come back and take me home so he did come and the guy from rehab told him " she'll be back" it was the first time I ever left my baby boy and that was part of the hell too. I'm ok now I do think Doctors are so willingly to give the drug away. I don't think they should distribute it like candy. I realized how easy it was to get it. If your even thinking about getting on it please please be careful. Its horrible and it may make you feel great for a few times but its ruining your body in ways you aren't going to see right away.
