Re: Question to the group-OxyContin

[Guest guest]

I have been on OxyContin now for over 2 years. Right now I am trying

to get off of it and am almost done with them for good I hope. When

I was one them some people said I looked doped up. I didn't feel

this way but when I look back at pictures of me my eyes were always

half closed. I was taking 40 mg twice a day for a long time. My wife

told me that I was so slow to respond to anything when I was on 20

mg twice a day and up. I never even realized this. I asked some

other people and they said the same thing. Now that I am off of them

for the most part I feel way more alert. OxyContin worked great for

my pain. I don't know what I would have done without it. Now that I

have had a total pancreatectomy w/ islet cell transplant I don't

have any more pancreas pain at all. It has been great except for the

withdrawls from the OxyContin. It has been tough for me to get off

of them.
