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 work in a local Pharmacy we ahve stopped stocking OxyContin because of all the robberies in the areas. We also Saw all too many times people walking in and gettin their OxyContin RX's filled pulling out a wad of $100.00 bills to pay for them and almost turning cartwheels as they walked out of the pharmacy. This medication is for moderate to severe pain, Who am I to judge who is in pain but I don't see a thing wrong with these people. And most of the doctors that are writting the RX's are not cancer or pain doctors. It is normal family practice doctors.I feel bad that I am keeping it from patients that need the medication but if they have cancer etc. They must go to pick up the Rx they can have it filled at the hosp pharmacy.The DEA must step up to the plate and figure out a way to put a hault on the over prescribing of this and other C-2 medications. |

July 29th 2002 will mark the 7 month anniversary of my Father's
death. It wasn't long ago that I remember a very loving,
funny, down to earth Dad that loved his children and grandchildren very much. I will always remember him for the
wonderful person he was. However I will always remember one
word that changed our lives forever "oxycontin".
My Dad was not an abuser. He was a hard working man, a business,
owner who was injured at work a few years ago. After his injury
to his back, he was treated by a local Doctor who had nothing but
praise for Oxycontin. Of course I was there the day that Oxy was
prescribed to my Dad. I voiced my opinion but of course the
Doctor was more persuasive. They day my Dad took his first
dose was the day he started dying.
Over the course of 8 mos. my Dad changed. The man that was full
of life, seemed to dwindle into nothing. Even in the last days
of his life, he seemed so tired and ill.
I will never forget that phone call that I recieved on Dec.
29th, 2001. My Dad had died in his sleep of a heart attack.
Autopsy results revealed Oxycontin was in his system at the
time of his death. It also revealed that he had a few drinks
that night (my dad only drank once in awhile). Cause of death
was natural. Of course I don't see it that way.
Since my Dad's death I have hired an attorney. If Oxycontin did
play a role in my Dad's demise then I wan't to make sure that
the Doctor's and the makers of Oxycontin pay for what they have done. No amount of money will make up for the loss but if
I can save another life then it will be well worth it.
Each day is a struggle for me. My Dad was a very important
person in my life. He leaves behind a wife, two grandchildren,
two daughters.

I just wanted to let you know you have made an excellent website. So many
people are one-sided, saying ban oxy's and such. You strongly emphasize the
dangers, while saying they are also an important drug for those who are in
severe pain. Bravo!
Sincerely,
Jenn
