hi there,

 

i've been on oxy for 5 years now with differen t doses.  i have a periphral nerve stimulator implanted now so don't take as much.  i take 10mg 1-2 times a day.  it makes me cranky, nauseous and hungry.  it has the last side affects as others they've tried me on.  i had to go through psych testing to make sure i didn't have addictive behavior.  they did tell me you body can become dependent on it which is why when you go off your pain is far worse and your whole body can ache.  this goes away after being off it awhile.  psychological dependence is when you are taking your meds for other things besides pain.  that is the true addiction.  some people may take it to escape or try to help them cope with life.  if oxy is taken for the right reasons and you are monitored you should be fine...
