Someone I love is taking Oxycontin New Formula. 60mg (20mg X 3) per day. It is prescribed by a doctor because of two injuries over the course of 2 years. One was a gun shot and the other was a torn disc (annular tear). My friend is a very law abiding person, never drinks never smokes. Until he took Oxycontin.
They chew the tablet into tiny pieces and swallows. It has been two years that he has been stuck on these pills and over the last 12 months, they have been abusing the drug, after noticing it helped their depression and gave them the mood to talk and play with their children more often. They have good intentions but it is ruining and controlling their lives.
They want to get off the pills really badly, and the only physical withdrawals they get is muscle aches and pains. However the mental pains are far far far worse. They can feel their mind not functioning without the pill, they worry all day about it when it's time to get their next script.
While only prescribed 60mg, they can take 80 to 120mg a day and then when the script runs out they panic, smoke cigarettes or alcohol and just freaks out badly.
The question. In Australia, does this new formula retain the time release status despite it being bitten into a billion pieces and swallowed down with soda? Does the 120mg all release in one go, or is it 10 or so mg an hour? He has tried to quit, and takes 1 pill and then he feels relaxed and takes another after another again, especially when he tries to do things that he was enjoying with the pills, but finds boring without it.
My loved one would feel a lot better if they knew they are only addicted to 10mg per hour, than 120mg in one hit.
He doesn't have any friends or family, but he is a good guy and has had a lot of bad luck. He was shot protecting me from a biker and he hurt his back playing with his son. I feel bad for him and he wants to fix himself, but without the pills, he said he feels as though he is drowning without any life jacket.
Any info would be great.
Much Love,
Clarissa.
