I was put on oxycontin a number of years ago (along with Endone) for severe arthritic pain. Well, over time I began to abuse it. Started swallowing larger doses, then chewing, now snorting 80mg tabs. I don't do it every day but wonder if I will become a total morphine addict eventually. I get a prescription of 56 pills a month. I am also suffering from bipolar disorder with major depression. Should I be worrying? I don't have any addictive symptoms at present. Would love some advice. Thanks. Oxywoman

Well to be quite frank, you're more likely to end up addicted to oxycodone and not morphine with what you're using (
) but keep in mind that oxycodone and morphine are probably both equally addictive/habit-forming.
Welcome to Bluelight!
My suggestion: try to get back to your prescribed dosage with a gradual taper. It's a GOOD THING you're still taking days off, ALWAYS take days off!
