    Oxy cotton addiction is rapidly becoming a nationwide problem, as oxy cotton addiction has increased dramatically in recent years.

    Oxy cotton was approved by the FDA to alleviate pain in 1995. Since then, oxy cotton addiction has continually been rising. Oxy cotton addiction is as difficult to overcome as heroine addiction, with both drugs deriving from opium.

    While quite effective as a painkiller, oxy cotton is highly addictive. People with an oxy cotton addiction generally consume the oxy cotton by snorting it, chewing it, injecting it, or crushing it and dissolving it in liquid. All of these methods destroy the time-release mechanism of oxy cotton, allowing the person with an oxy cotton addiction to get the full effects almost immediately.

    A person with an oxy cotton addiction will develop a tolerance over time. For this reason, the person with an oxy cotton addiction will need to take more and more oxy cotton in order to achieve the desired effects.

    Oxy cotton addiction leads to the brain blocking out pain messages to the rest of the central nervous system. In addition, the oxy cotton stimulates the brain to increase the amount of dopamine being released. The dopamine increases the pleasure feelings in the person with an oxy cotton addiction.

    A person with an oxy cotton addiction becomes obsessed with oxy cotton. As a result, family, career, and finances suffer. In many cases, a person with an oxy cotton addiction often has legal problems, as well, as the person steals, cheats, and lies in order to support the oxy cotton addiction.

    Because of the strong physical and psychological dependency that develops from an oxy cotton addiction, quitting its use can be extremely difficult. Therefore, a person with an oxy cotton addiction needs help in order to recover from the oxy cotton addiction.

    A successful oxy cotton addiction treatment program will not only include a detoxification component. A successful oxy cotton addiction treatment program will also teach the person suffering from oxy cotton addiction the new skills necessary to get, and stay, clean from oxy cotton. These skills include refusal skills as well as learning how to recognize sites and sounds that trigger a desire for oxy cotton.

    ^ Probubly to warn others about it, so that they don't start to take it and become addicted themselves. I think it's smart.

    It took me close to almost two years to get off of it.

    Alot of people were there for me and I know they really wanted to help. But I couldn't see I was killing me. I tried to stop times before that but I always fell back into the addiction.

    Suicide was what I freaked me out and taught me to quit. I almost killed myself by taking to much Oxy Cotton, I wanted to die but when almost about a few hours after I took it, it really hit me that I didn't want to die. And I just suddenly knew that my family really did care but didn't know how to express it and how that depression would pass (finally knowing it took me a full 4-5 years to get over it all). I was about a few months away from going in Middle School when I started to become depressed and fell in the the addiction even harder then what I was doing then. Kids there only made it worse and always picked on me for my disease and hearing loss. I tried suicide when I was in 8th grade, a few weeks after school started and everything went a little better because the teachers finally knew the truth and so did the students. They were all told in their classes(this is what I heard) that I was almost dying and I was dead inside. It was all caused by the students. They were all immature anyways so, when I came back to school things only went a little better, just only an inch tho. Everyone still made fun of me and everything you can imagine.

    Then High School came. I was overwhelmed and scared that it was going to be hell like Middle School was. It wasn't. It was like heaven. All the teachers and students understood me. I didn' t have to hide the fact that I was hard of hearing. They just understood I couldnt change who I am and what I am. Every teacher I have now has taught me to learn more about myself and how I act towards others. Now I barely have outbursts like I had at Middle School.

    Everything just when better for me.

    It wasn't teasing. That Middle School had killed 3 other kids by beating them then shoothing them.

    Try looking down a gun barrel held in front of your face because you told them to shut up.

    Actually it is spelled Oxycontin and the generic name is Oxycodone ER.

    If taken as prescribes by your physician then you can be weened off the drug with little to no withdrawls.

    It is mainly prescribed for cancer patients, but also as a narcotic to help reduce pain when more traditional drugs such as Loratab and Percocet fail to bring relief to a patient.

    All narcotics can be addicting and require that a patient be weened when they are taken for a period of time.

    There is a huge difference between drug addiction and drug abuse that many people do not understand.

    Some individuals must depend upon a pain relief (even something little like Tylenol) to help continue through the day as normal as possible. This type of person will not take the medication soley for a high, but merely as a means to survive. This is what we refer to as a person that is or can be drug dependant (addicted) and they are the most likely candidates to be weened off medication successfully.

    Others, the drug abusers, will take medication whether or not needed and make up any excuse to have them. This class of people will rarely be weened successfully and often replaces the drugs with another addiction.

    As always follow your physicians orders and you should have a succdessful outcome.

    With any drug; however, councelling may be required. In some situations a person must seek the professional help of a psychiatrist to help with depression from pain more than the effects of medication.

    Now this is my opinion on this subject. If you do not agree with me feel free to criticize. It is human nature to want to avoid pain whether it is physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. It is sad when anyone falls victim to the trap of addiction. There is a controversy over whether addiction is a choice or a predisposition. If we define disease as any unhealthy condition of the body or mind, addiction can often fall into that category
    When a useful drug is abused for recreational purposes it is most likely not well thought out. I believe it is wholesome for everyone to know what it can cost. As the original poster warns it is the abuser and the people that love the abuser that suffers. I have read the opinion that the spiritual paths that replace addictions are addictions, my response is always, so what! In this so-called ‘common era’ where many seem to worship common sense, can any one explain what is wrong with replacing an unhealthy addiction with a healthy one?
