Today, I was looking through my computer's history to find a website I had visited. I found an online forum where my son was discussing how to inject Oxycontin. FML

Oxycodone is not a form of heroin, and neither is methadone. Methadone is used to give heroin addicts the same feeling as heroin, and the feeling goes away after the first use. Oxycodone is a pain reliever that is one molecule away from being heroin. At least he's not doing Heroin. I've done Oxycodone, and methadone. it's not bad, as in it's not that addicting or fun. If you pm me ill gladly explain to you what to do, and to help.

And how old is that sonny of yours?

Ok, why are bitching about this on a humour website for all the world to see instead of actually talking to your son about his problems, or even, I don't know, going to a more appropriate website? I understand this is probably traumatic for you, but that's a really terrible way to deal with a really personal problem. Also, for all those people saying Oxycontin should be banned, I have taken it, not for recreation, but for seriously needed pain relief. I took it responsibly, never more than a couple of times, and only when the pain got bad enough to necessitate it. It helped a lot, and I didn't get even slightly addicted. Because, I used it responsibly. The actions of a few morons who don't try to understand what they are dealing with should not mean that pain relief is taken away from those who actually do need it, and who use it responsibly.

The trouble is it's unbelievably cool and smart and sophisticated to blare out how OXYCONTIN WILL TURN YOU INTO A HEROIN ADDICT, ONE-MILLION-PERCENT-GUARANTEED. Because it's totally true. I have little information on oxycontin myself - that particular branch of psychotropics does not interest me - but I accept that it's probably one to avoid. It's not the end of the world, and the child is probably not going to die of a heroin overdose as a result of this. Try your best to help him stop, naturally. Honestly, if I were to advise anyone, I'd say just to stick to marijuana and not go any further unless you've done the research and taken precautions. Anything physically addicting almost certainly isn't worth the risk, unless there's no other option and it's to help deal with something as serious as cancer.

I agree completely. I have found marijuana to be by far the best painkiller, with the least side-effects. Would definitely recommend it over any hard pharmaceuticals.

Not everyone who ends up with an addiction to oxycotin/oxycodone is an irresponsible junkie moron. some people are perscribed those painkillers for real pain, and when the time comes to stop, they realize that their body has developed a dependency to it. the withdrawals are nightmares and once your body is dependent on opiates, it is VERY hard to quit them. so stop being ignorant and trying to make those painkillers look more harmless than they really are. opiate addiction ruins lives everyday, and the lives of good people too. not just irresponsible idiots.

I'm sorry to hear that. To number 35, it's spelled Oxycontin and its a pain-killer, not a muscle relaxer you ignorant prick. Secondly, it's a sad situation. I truly feel bad because someone I am close to went through a very similar situation. It has nothing to do with her/him as a parent, because if a child wants to abuse drugs, they will find a way regardless of the level of vigilance provided by a parent. Your son needs help, otherwise he is headed down a very dark road. There are some great resources online where you can learn about how to begin to help him. I wish you the best of luck in dealing with this.

Also, to be more specific which I forgot to mention: one good source to begin with is NA.org. That is for him to learn about where to begin his process of recovery. A good suggestion for you is to attend, which I think I saw somewhere on this page already, is a Nar-Anon meeting; which will help you learn about his problem, and how to handle it from your perspective. Also, it would be a good suggestion to look into Suboxone, which was very helpful for the person I was close with who suffered through this ordeal. I apologize for this rant, but this is a serious topic that is heavily overlooked/disregarded in our society, along with an irresponsibly negative stigma attached.

first of all, tell him you love him. find help for him, but also seek counseling for yourself. it isn't easy to learn your child is a drug addict, but that does not make him a bad person. addiction is a complex and hard thing to beat, especially opiates. over time, the drugs actually alter the way your brain works. i strongly disagree with the people who say junkies either end up in jail or dead. that is not true. there are junkies who, on the outside, function and are part of society (college students, doctors, lawyers, etc.) there are junkies who stay junkies until they die of natural causes at the age of 80. oh, and remember, you cannot "make" someone get clean. if you force your son into rehab, the first thing he will do when he gets out is go get high. the person has to be willing to change, or at least to have an open mind about changing, and only then will they take the help offered to them.

sorry I wasn't clear, I didn't mean to put all drug users under the same category. I agree with ^this but only in some cases. it is very true that most junkies that are addicted to the point that they cannot function, are as I stated earlier. but people who do drugs and still contribute to the society, and aren't out mugging or stealing to get they're fix, can live normally. I am not condoneing this because I've had a family member die of overdose and two others leave they're wife and children for drugs.
