"I was diagnosed with L5 disc herniation, annular tear, foraminal narrowing, two hemangiomas in the spine, and degenerative disc disease at the age of 40. I am now 60 years old and have tried several opioids over the past 20 years. Oxycontin is an effective drug with little side effects and allows me to be active and function as though I do not suffer from chronic pain. Although I often don't get down to zero pain, I can get to a 1, 2 or 3 on the pain scale with Oxycontin use. I still prefer Nucynta ER, but the cost would be $500-575 per month, so Oxycontin is a close second and I am happy with results."

"My father was on this drug along with many other prescribed from the GP. My dad had chronic back pain from scar tissue from a back operation when I was a young child in the 70s . My dad had been on this for 22-26yrs to my knowledge . My dad was hooked on these to survive daily life. Eventually dad got liver damage that is normally due to drink ( alcohol ) my dad didn’t drink & it was medication related. It went to the next stage & he got varices then liver cancer . Dad was lucky to be able to go on a waiting list for another liver. After 4 attempts rushing to be let down yet again .. this time dad was successful . Dad never properly recovered from his liver transplant & was left with herna x 3! Dad went on more meds including his previous meds and same thing again the new liver got damaged . Almost 5 years next month dad had his transplant & 3 months ago my dad died. He died from bleeding to death before us from two clots in his liver & his varices bleeding uncontrollably"

"I was on oxycodone, followed by oxycontin for 10 years , ending in 2018. I experienced severe claustrophobia. After getting off of Oxycontin (40mg x 4 per day) the claustrophobia disappeared. Most reported side effects do not include claustrophobia, so I did not immediately make the connection. I used red Bali kratom 1mg capsules 6 times daily to reduce withdrawal symptoms. I eliminated Oxycontin first, then the Fentanyl patch and finally the .5mg Methadone tablets over a 6 month period. I would not suggest this drug to anyone other than a terminally ill patient. It robs you of your free will, your creativity and logic."
