What is Oxycontin?
The trade name of oxycontin is oxycodone hydrochloride, normally prescribed by physicians to cure chronic pain is said to be effective for up to 12 hour timeframe.
The liquid content of the opium plant is taken and dried completely to get the powder form of Opium. Then different opium derivatives like morphine, codeine and oxycodine can be separated from the powder with ease. In spite of being a prescription drug, oxycontin lost its popularity due to its usage for non-medical purposes. Currently, in U.S.A, Oxycontin is categorized as a controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Administration due to the habit forming nature of this prescription drug.
Moving Towards Addiction
Habit forming nature of oxycontin often urges the user to increase the doses. The more you tend to use oxycontin, the more you get addicted to the usage of this drug. The potential of the drug is said to be very high that this drug is said to be very effective in controlling even the most severe pain. When oxycontin enters the body, it induces the receptors in your central nervous system, the brain and spinal cord. When the drug joins with the receptors, it is believed to give physiologic responses like pain relief and euphoric effects. This dangerously addictive drug, induces you and makes you feel high instantly as soon you chew, inhale or inject the drug into your body. In order to get the desired sensation, you would tend to increase the frequency of the drug intake and thus get eventually addicted to it.
Overdose Leads Problems
Cancer patients take a regular dosage of drugs to get relieved from severe pain. It is advised not to chew, break or crush the oxycontin tablet because of the fact that this might prove to be detrimental to health that the patient might become serious and require hospitalization.
How long does Oxycontin Stay in your System
Different people metabolize the drug at different rates, so the time frame regarding how long oxycontin does stay in your system may vary between individuals. The following factors are responsible for the varied metabolic rate in different individuals:
· Age of the person
· Weight of the person
· Amount consumed by the person
· Number of doses consumed
· Overall health condition
· Metabolism rate of the body
· Tolerance to alcohol or drugs
· How the drug was consumed [swallowed, injected, inhaled or smoked]
If you ask how long oxycontin stays in your system, and whether it can be traceable in urine, the answer is yes. It can be detectable in urine for 3 days. If the person does not urinate frequently, it stays in urine for 4-5 days also. If it is used as a pain killer, it stays for 8-12 hours, and if you consume 15 mg for 3 days, it can be expelled out of your system within 12 hours.

I want to know why you would even think of inhaling OxyContin. I am an addict and never once thought of inhaling the drug. My addiction is going on 10 years and just recently started taking them properly. I snorted for many years and all it got me was two big holes in my nose. So just think of what inhaling would do. Take care.

@joe
60mg of oxycontin is not much. But please give us the details whether you are a regular user.Are you addicted to it? What is your weight and age? We need this to understand your metabolic rate. If you could provide these details, we are here to help you

For 15mg taken for 3 days, it would take 12 hours to go out of the system. If this is the case, since you have taken for a few months, please wait for at least 10-15 days surely. Drink loads of water. Urinate frequently. That gets the drug out of your system with ease

Cold turkey all of a sudden will lead to unnecessary withdrawal symptoms. So please let the change become gradual. Don’t stop it altogether because the drug is highly addictive

Oxy is different for every person. One year is a long time to be taking this drug. I know….because I have been on 280 mgs. per day for 4 years.
It takes different times for people to come off of Oxycontin or oxycodone (same chemical). Three days is a great start. You have to just refrain from starting back. That’s the difficult part. You are over the hump as for the physical. Now your brain is going to be asking for the chemical. Give yourself about 10 days for the physical and six months for the mental. Maybe not that long.
One really shouldn’t come off of oxy without the care of a physician, but since you have started, don’t stop. Also, “cold turkey” is a bad option. Tapering down is easier, but then again, you have already committed. Just drink a lot of water and push yourself to keep your mind off of it. Exercise if you can. Walk, etc. You have to push thru it. No one else can push for you……..
Best of freedom from this drug for you.

I believe my husband is addicted to oxy but he claims he is not. He tested positive on August 8th for oxy and then again on August 16th. He claims he only took one or two pills on the 7th and then no more since then. He claims the test on the 16th showed a postive result because the pills he took on the 7th were still in his system because he is overweight and it clings to the fat cells. He is 6′ 1″ and weighs 270lbs. Is this theory of his true or is he just another addict trying to hide his problem??? He is not prescribed Oxy but finds ways to buy it.

Hi, I have been addicted to oxy for about two months now, I want to ask my doctor for methadone because after many failed attempts at trying to quit I have been unsuccessful. My question is, Can I get in any trouble telling my doctor about my problem, and asking for these pills to help me get off this addiction that seems to consume my everyday life.
Thank you

First of all, major congrats on the 5 days off of Oxy…that’s really rad. From reading your post, it sounds like you’ve already gone through the withdrawls, right? So, then, I would take it that your question is whether or not the stuff is going to show up in a drug test, right? Usually, Oxy is out of your system in a week for someone your size. The thing is, though, if you’re taking the suboxen, that will show up in a bunch of the newer, more advanced drug tests. I know it helps with the withdrawals, but seriously, don’t take it if you can help it.
Now for the annoying part. You’re so young, dude…and, judging from your ability to write coherently, pretty smart, too. Don’t put anymore time into this horrific addiction cycle you’re getting yourself in. I mean, I get it — I was a teenage addict, too. Got sober at 16, actually…I’m 25 now and have been 100% clean and sober every since. Have you ever considered the idea that maybe you have a problem? You did mention that this is the 2nd detox you’ve attempted this month…)
Good luck

I just feel so bad that i relapsed and i know he is watching over us. RIP daddy I LOVE AND MISS U SO MUCH, I promise Dad I will make you proud again. love you daddy!

Seems like it probably will show up. If it is for a medical issue just use the doctors note, if not, maybe try one of those detox cleaners. I have been taking a lot less than that from my back surgery and I know it shows up during tests. Had a life insurance exam where they tested me and it showed up after a month. It was no big deal because I was under doctors orders.

Hi, well okay this is it…… I am 140 lbs and for a month and a half I was doing oxi… I would buy a 80miligram of it and it would last me 3 days …. I would snort it up the nose.

I am a doctor. Brit how old are you? using is a symptom of something else, such as depression. Have you tried stopping or looking into meetings or help because you cannot do this alone, I can assure you this. Focus on something you love and set a goal to stop, if you really want to get better you will, if you don’t then it’s simple…you are going to get worse. If not an addict already you will become one. be careful and please respond

I want to know how long does an 30mg oxy take to get into your system? I had a drug screen for my meds and I also take percocets, and my screen came back that there were NO trace of anything. How is that possible? So my doctors thinks that I am not taking them, when I am.

I am 36 been on oxycontin (name brand) for almost 3 years. Started off with the liquid now 60mg, snorting about 3-4 times a day. I am 52 and weigh 100. In all honesty, I started researching the web to find out the safest way to inject since I came across some suringes. I have slowed down because Im not getting the “up”/”high” I use to so I was going to try shooting them up. But after reading up on it all day, (so intensly that I basically forgot about snorting and took only one orally today). I found that is a very DANGEROUS way of taking this drug and it scared me into forgeting the entire idea. My question is, how long will it I withdraw once i stop. Somedays I will take as many as 6 and somedays only one. When i run out i switch to Norco 10/325 until its time for my refill. What should i do?

if i inhaled 40mg on a friday then 40mg on saturday do you think i would pass or fail a drug test that i took the sunday, 8 days later, after. i am about 180-190 lbs. and about 5′ 9″. i drank some water but i drink a lot of energy drinks. do you think i will pass that test and does energy drinks effect the drug in your system?

ive been taking pain pills about once a week for 5 years. it is different for everyone. i have never relied on the pills then again i feel like i take them whenever i have the money for them. pills are very expensive and whenever i didnt have the money for them i was fine. it all really depends on how much willpower you have. i might just have alot. because i love pills and i will take them whenever i have money but i do not like to take them everyday because that builds up a tolerence for them and i like to take them. and i do not want to have to take a shitload in order for me to get fucked up.

I have chronic back pain and take 20 mg 3 times a day. I have recently had to switch doctors and the new doctor did a drug test. For about 3 days before the test I only had enough to take one a day (in the morning). The urine test was about 14 hours after the last 20 mg pill and the results came back saying that I don’t have opiates in my system. I read that it can be out of your system in 12 hours. I am 5′ 2″, I weigh 150 pounds, and other than extremely high cholesterol I am healthy. So my question is, how likely is it that my urine test would come back negative for opiates and is there a medical journal of some sort that supports the statement that it can be out of your system in 12 hours.
