ok, my friend has bad back pain and she was given Oxycodone is that the same as oxtcotton?, i tryed to tell her haw addictive everyone has said it was but she said she would be fine, shes not an addict per say, but im scared that this can become a promblem as it did 4-me, please advise me, thanks all, mitzy**********
hi mitzy... oxycodone is the same as oxycontin. i think it's just the generic form. hope it helps!
well she said the script was written for percet and then ikt said oxycodone , i freaked out woundering which one is it??? percaset or oxy?? what do you think??
i know there's another generic of oxy called percalone (sp?). maybe that's it? how's your daughter?
Doing much better thank you, still a little sick, but its passing, hey i never got a e-mail from you to me , did you e-mail me yet ? if not thats ok just woundering is all, well take care and god bless you and i will wait for your e-mail, mitzy
Oxycodon and Oxycontin are different. Percocet is oxycodone with tylenol, oxycontin is a slow release oxycodone without tylenol. Percocet is fast but short acting. Oxycontin is designed to last for up to 8 hours (I think). Both are very addictive, but Mitzy, I wouldn't worry so much about friend's pain meds at this point in your recovery. Focus on you. If she asked for your advice, that's different, but you have such a long way to go, as do I and I would hate to have either one of us start over.

I agree with cowgirl Mitzy. First of all about the Oxycontin and Oxycodone thing both of which are very addictive, but more about fixing you before you can try and fix someone else. You are only 8 days clean, thats like a fraction of a second in the course of a life, if a lifetime lasted a day. It could be very destructive to get involved in someone elses addiction when you are still taking baby steps yourself. I remember the first time I detoxed I wanted to go on a crusade to rid the world of addiction and thought I had all the answers to everyones problems. I don't know why, I guess I was naieve about how addiction and recovery really work. The one thing I have come to know is how little I really know. You are doing great, but for now you can only afford to worry about Mitzy..

I hate to even think this but today in your post you said you were offered oxycontin and turned it down and now you are saying it that your freind got it, I just hope this in not a cover story , you should know the difference if you worked in a medical office. I am not trying to start anything but you will only hurt yourself if you are not being honest.

Glad to hear that it was not you that really did not get the meds, The only reason I said that is becasue we as addicts can try andf fool ourselves and cover stuff up I know I did it before just want to make sure your on the right track, so don't get upset ok, have a nice day talk to you later , I am having a bad day we got sooo much snow and I am so sick of it , my legs hurt and I can't sleep, the Dr gave me klonopin but I have not filled the script I know it is also very addicting and I don't want to replace one for another so I just won't fill it. It's for anxiety and helps to sleep but don;t feel right taking it,
