OxyContin Awareness


Name:Brenda Email: Type:Chronic Pain Story Date:5/27/2002	As a recently detoxed oxy addict, I was prescribed this drug for chronic neck pain. I was given no warnings about the dangerous nature of this drug. Now, several weeks out of detox and two weeks of hospitalization for uncontrolled vomiting and a 20 lb weight loss, I believe this drug should be given to terminally ill patients only.

There is far too few of that out there. I live in Las Vegas, where it is fast anchoring itself as part of the scene, and hear much too little about its dangers. People don't know. It's scary. When I read the memorial of Heather Goslinowski, I cried. Thank you. -eric

Name:Danny Email: Type:Death Story Date:5/27/2002	Mr. Bisch First of all i'd like too say how deeply sorry i am about your son. My name is Danny McInnis and i am from boston,ma, born and raised. i'm sorry to say o'c's are causeing horror in my city. I've got a long list of people i know who have died either cause mixin other pills with oxy, drinkin with oxy, started on oxy and ended up doin herion, just really bad things. This last november on the 3rd my bestfriend who i love and miss so much overdosed and died on oxy's and other pills. his name was Matthew O'Brien and he was 17 years old. its hard for me to write this. I myself and a recoverin addict, i still used after his death which hurts me everyday. i'm 7 weeks sober and no longer in boston. I was with matty almost all of our lives. Our whole crew was with eachother all the time. But a few of us had special relationships. And me, Matty, and one other person had that relationship with matty. I stay intouch with his brother and sister but ever time his mother see's me or my other friend she breaks down. its hurts so bad i can't even imagine what they are goin though. His dad has been strong with us, he's really tryin to help us get off this shit. i seen the same strenth in you when i seen you on T.V. and that touched me more than you will ever know. All i'm tryin to do now is not let O'B (as we called him) die in vain. And for his parents and family, and for my mom, and friends to show them someone can do it, and for myself to stay clean. Cause its so hard too get off this shit, its a battle everyday and if i knew what i was getting myself into i would have never started this nightmare. i bet my buddy would say that too. i wish he was here to say it. thats what i wanted to tell you cause in a way i feel what your goin though. And i just wanted you to know that there is someone else that is out there tryin to fight this battle too. your buddy b-town Danny McInnis
