(but you got addicted to the oxycodone painkillers)
.
Accidents, injuries, and even some illnesses can produce agonizing pain. When this happens, people turn to their doctors to ask what to do about the pain. If this happened to you, and you were prescribed OxyCodone, you are not alone. Research shows that over 7 million prescriptions are written each year for OxyCodone. Interestingly, since OxyCodone not only relieves pain, but produces a euphoric high, scores of people have become addicted.
If you are reading this material, you may be wondering how this happened in the first place. All you meant to do was ease the pain. The doctor actually prescribed this medication to you, and you filled it at the pharmacy. You probably began taking OxyCodone as prescribed. But then something happened; you started needing (or wanting) more and more of the drug in order to reduce the pain, or to get back that initial high you felt when you took it. From there, you may have begun crushing the pills and snorting the powder. Maybe you advanced to mixing that powder with water and injecting (or shooting) it. Incredibly, this is a common story, so you are not alone.
There has been a public outcry concerning the over prescribing and misuse of OxyCodone and oxycontin. Organizations and rehabilitation centers joined in the movement to encourage doctors to reduce or eliminate the number of Oxy prescriptions written. It can, and does lead to addiction, as thousands of people are learning each day. More often than not, the addiction began with a prescription. You could call it “a prescription for addiction.”
