On about April 19th 2002 SOMEONE hacked into the old guestbooks and DELETED them. What they deleted was over 500 DEATH and ADDICTION stories relating directly to OXYCONTIN. They also deleted over 100 stories from people who are legitimate patients and most of them need oxycontin for their SEVERE PAIN. I apologize to anyone who took the time to share their stories to HELP warn others. Those guestbooks were somehow a comfort to all who have been affected by this ABUSE epidemic. Please if you are looking for your story then REPOST it. I'm sad to say but by the amount of email I am receiving these guestbook's will rapidly rebuild their SAD tales BUT people need to be warned as to the power of this drug and the deadly consequences when ABUSED.
Please read the other stories and add yours to our guestbook...

I think oxy's should be banned except for patients with terminal illnesses such as cancer. This drug is way over prescribed. There are much less lethal meds for people with back pain...what did they do before oxy's? I hear something about oxy's everyday. Alot of people who don't need them can just get them prescibed to them and then sell them and then someone ends up overdosing,most of these overdoses are young people who should just be starting their lives not dying.there should absolutly be stricter laws on prescribing this pill. In memory of Nick Morton.

My husband and father of my children died last month and it still seems like yesterday. He was an alcoholic just out of detox. Been clean for 3 weeks ad trying really hard to get himself straight for himself and his family. He went to the Dr. and was prescribed oxycontin. What kindof Dr. gives this drug to a healthy 30 year old man with alcohol problems? He didnt help him,He killed him! Now Im left alone with 2 kids and alot of unanswered questions!
