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...

Now that the nation has been continually been fed stories about OxyContin from the media, there should be NO ONE who should be clueless about this drug. To deaths that occur due to abuse of this date, I believe they are due to ignorance of the user and risk. It's time to stop feeling sorry for these people that are abusing this drug and start feeling sorry for people like me, a person with chronic back pain due to an at-work accident, who cannot get this drug because the doctors in my area are afraid to prescribe it. Why? These people that have abused this drug have caused such a media frenzy with this drug that doctors see this news and buy into it. Up until this point, I was given an adequate dose to help me live my life pain free, with the ability to be productive, to pick up my kids, and to just get off the DAMN COUCH. People like me are tired of the sob stories of the abusers being heard, and it is time that the sob stories of legitimate patients like me be heard. Spread the word. people, if you take this drug for fun, you are going to die. If you haven't heard this warning by now, through the media and from wonderful people like the Bisch family, you are living under a rock. David B--on behalf of the Save OxyContin movement

On Feb. 6, 2002 my husband, Dirk, was found by our son. He had been given Oxycotin for back pain. He had a hx years ago of morphine addication, but he had been off of it for over 16 years. However, the doctor who gave him the medication knew of his previous addiction. Oxycotin should never be given to anyone with an additive disorder. I am so angry over the system and how iresponsible the medical community is. This drug changes people. Dirk was a loving husband and father who lost all control over his life when he started taking this drug. I grieve, as many of you do, for the person I loved. I can not bring him back. My heart goes out to all the families who have lost someone in such a horrible way. Valerie

I wish peace, grace, and God's healing tranquility to the parents, families, and friends of all the Palm Beach Gardens, Florida boys who have recently died from overdoses: Austin Thomas - 16 (6/1/02), Richard Van Ness - 17 (5/31/02), and Matthew Schrader - 17 (1/3/02). It will be very difficult to overcome the grief of your loss, but hope will prevail. Now, maybe many others just like these fun-loving guys will come to realize that living straight is, by far, more fun than taking drugs like oxy that can end your life.
