Hi there, I am looking for advice to give to a close mate. She has been taking pills called oxynorm which she snorts. tells me that she does between 1 and 5 a day This started 3 weeks ago. I worry that she may be addicted, but she thinke its fine. am i fretting needlessly or could she be hooked already. she says they just calm her down a bit and as her dad just died I dont want to hassle her.
`can anyone tell me how fast you can get hooked on theese pills?

Sorry I Think they are called OxyContin
5mg and 20 mgs does that make sense? Please help me I want to give her support
 
She already is hooked. But it sounds like her tolerance is still some what low. Nothing you can do but tell her how YOU feel about it. Or throw some facts in here face. Search this site on some stories about opiate addiction and have her read them. Its a long shot but it might help.
 
yeah if shes done for 3 weeks strait, best chance is that she has a physiological addiction.

a great way to find out tell her to take 2 days off from the Oxynorm or Oxycontin.

if she has a physiological addiction she should withdraw similar to a heroin addict.

withdrawals will start with hot and cold sweats everything from hair standing strait up on her hands and arms and legs even the back of her neck.

a lot of australian doctor's now believe that anything over 130mg's a day can actually cause excessive pain.

so she probably has a script from a quack, most likely from broken bones or major surgery.
so the doctor should know not to prescribe any more than 130mg's a day.

1-5 a day could be anything from 5mg's to 100mg's.

BTW if the drug is in a capsule its Oxynorm. if its a pill with a colored coating its Oxycontin. (same drug Oxycodone hydrochloride, different catabolism rates)

This lecture will examine how a common metabolite in both fat and carbohydrate catabolism could hold some insight into metabolic integration.

Her habit is not that bad yet. she is doing 5-20mg per day. A bad oxy habit ( as in the amount someone who is really bad on oxy does) is in the multiple hundreds of milligrams everyday. since she is not really doing that much at all, trying getting her to use every other, and just once in that day, even if its a bigger dose. this will prevent her body from getting totally habituated to the drug

If she is taking 5-20mg pills 1-5 times a day.. that would be between 25-100mg a day for 3 weeks.. she isn't in too deep but she will become dependent sooner than later.. i'm personally addicted to morphine and oxycotin and started a similar way.. as most addictions work she will continue to use and continue to up her dose until the withdrawls will be incredibly uncomfortable at which point it is incredibly hard to stop.. my advice is stop sooner than later the longer you are on them and the higher the dose you are using the worse the withdrawls are and the less motivated you will be to go through them and get clean.. try to help her stop asap.. i'd say deal with the withdrawl, go to a detox clinic or taper her dose down a couple mg every couple of days
 
Your post implies that she's taking them to get high rather than for pain management. Even if she hasn't developed a physiological tolerance or dependence the psychological effects of the drug may be seductive enough for it to provide a very attractive means of escape during a difficult time - eventually leading to more frequent use, higher doses, and physical withdrawals when she doesn't take it.

Giving her a non-drug option for expressing her feelings regarding her father's death is probably the most useful thing you can do for her right now.
 
I am very dependent on narcotics, and without them I would be in so much pain that I would probably have killed myself by now.

Drug dependency have given me a chance to live a normal life.
 
Thank you,
She is not prescribed them, and says she doesnt want to take them but gets like she doesnt care for herself. How long to get them out of the system? I want to be around if she is gonna suffer as she has kids and is on her own. Now I am worried for her as she opens the pills and snorts them. Can she do this without a rehab?

yes you can do without rehab.

do your self a favor and show the girl some you tube viceos of people withdrawing.

my worst problem when i was withdrawing was actually the double vision i got when my eyes where trying to refocus. ( double vision lasted about 2 weeks

i still have very bad vision now, when it was perfect before my addiction.
 
Tell her its not bad to WD if she hasnt been doing it long, but it gets bad the longer you do it.
 
you do all realize someone using drugs isn't going to stop just because yer friend wants yu too? how many people on here had their friends say yu should stop and how many people actually listened to them and stopped right away?

tell yer friend to sign up on here.

Ok I stop in four days when I have time off, I can go about 18hrs before I feel uncomfortable, then a few days in bed. I want to keep this to myself and only Trll is aware how stupid I been. with this whole thing. It was becoz the doc stopped my sleep pills I freaked. I have antidepressants but I hate them and thought I could beat the odds and was really angry at stuff. Now I want my self back and not keep thinking what pills can make me feel better. Today I got to 3pm before I couldnt hold out. Did 5mg, felt better then another when I stocked up. But this is scaring me how much I think about what I'm doing. Going to see a freind who can put me intouch with a berievement councelor tomorrow. please say it will all be ok. who has kicked this silly habit?
