Oxycodone.
I recently took some and DAYUM. All of a sudden I did not have depression. It felt like I was radiating with love. If I felt that way all the time, then I would be cured. And please save your Nancy Reagan 'Just Say No' talking points. I have complete control and discipline over what drugs I take.

I'm not one to judge for using substances, as I've had a long history of using them myself.

Out of curiosity, I wanted to see what this Oxycodone is. Oxycontin?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxycodone

Withdrawal effects similar to heroin withdrawal. It's an opiate. Certainly not something you'd want to take all the time, or you'd get addicted. Side effects don't look pleasant either.

I wish there was a magic pill for recovering from the psychological mess we've inherited because of our experiences. There isn't. Many of us have found some things along the way that help, like meditation, religion, sports, medication, and self medicating.

But ultimately, a real recovery comes when we realize that we are free to choose how to respond to life, rather than to react to it.

LOL!
Is it any worse than smoking or drinking?

I suppose it depends on how you want to treat yourself.

Smoking is obviously unhealthy, and drinking too much is also obviously unhealthy. To do these behaviors that inflict physical harm on your body constitutes as self abuse (which we're all prone to doing).

I'm not certain but I think my sister is taking that. She told me that it would be for life. But she says it is worth it.

Edit:

Sorry wrong stuff.

I know one guy whose doctor suggested to him to take up smoking. Saying that the beneficial effects would probably allow him to live long enough to worry about the negative ones.

Candu,

Oxycodone is prescribed for chronic pain. What is your sister taking it for?

I have yet to meat an addict who didn't say that at some stage. And I've met a lot. Including a lot of down-and-out homeless and junkies. I was one. And I truly believed I chose to take those drugs.

That said, you are perfectly right. Narcotics are very effective at suppressing PTSD, including depression, flashbacks, etc. But at what cost?

jason, I'm not going to tell you what to do. But do yourself a favour and google Oxycodone tolerance. And Oxycodone withdrawal. Know that even if somehow you manage to escape full-fledged addiction, you WILL develop physical dependence on it within a few days of taking it regularly. That isn't something you can avoid or control - even pain patients who use it exactly as prescribed get that. It is the nature of the drug. Please make sure you know what you are doing, because I don't think what you are doing is wise. Oxycodone isn't called "hill-billy heroin" for nothing...

(And I think you know that, or you wouldn't have posted this...)
