About Percocet (Oxycodone) Use & Addiction

Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid that is usually prescribed for moderate to severe pain. This drug is similar to other opioids like fentanyl and morphine and in addition to relieving pain, can also cause a euphoric “high” effect. These tablets can be taken orally, crushed and snorted, or dissolved and injected, but no matter which way they’re used, they can easily lead to Percocet addiction.

Because of Oxycodone strength, it’s easy for users to develop an addiction. In fact, in 2010, the Substance Abuse and Health Services Administration reported that 182,748 visits to U.S. emergency rooms were due to the use or misuse of oxycodone products, including OxyContin.

Because Percocet affects the nervous system, it can help users control their pain, however, over time, that feeling can become tolerated and a higher dosage is necessary to achieve the same feeling. This can be dangerous. In fact, opioid pain relievers such as Percocet kill more people annually than heroin or cocaine.

Many different prescription medications contain the synthetic opiate Oxycodone. They are all used for the same purpose – as pain medicine – and all carry the same effects of dependence from long-term use.

Medications that contain oxycodone include:

Percocet: Percocet, also known as “perks” is a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen that is prescribed for moderate to severe pain relief.
Roxicet: Roxicet (otherwise known as “Roxy”) is a brand-name drug that combines oxycodone and acetaminophen.
OxyContin: OxyContin is an extended-release form of oxycodone that is usually prescribed for severe pain in those who are in need of more powerful treatment.

The Dangers of Percocet (Oxycodone)

Symptoms

Even when combined with a non-narcotic treatment, oxycodone can have both physical and psychological effects on those who use the drug. OxyContin is considered highly addictive and comes with a greater risk of overdose if crushed, chewed, or dissolved.

Abuse of the drug can lead to dangerous short-term and long-term effects and an overall need for oxycodone treatment. These effects include:

A warming sensation
Increased sense of well-being
Anxiety relief
Overall relaxation
A state of euphoria
Sedation

Dangers & Effects of Percocet (Oxycodone) Use

Methadone is a dangerous drug to abuse, which is why we offer rehab for methadone users. Because it lasts so long, it’s easy for an individual to take doses too close together and unintentionally overdose. After steady use, it’s also easy to develop effects like:

Short-term effects include:

Itchy or flushed skin
Nausea
Dizziness
Stomach pains
Drowsiness
Dry mouth
Constipation

Long-term effects include:

Kidney damage
Increased risk of heart issues
Mood swings
Hallucinations
Tremors
Liver damage
Gastrointestinal issues
Respiratory depression

Withdrawal Symptoms from Percocet (Oxycodone) Use

When an individual uses oxycodone on a regular basis, they develop a tolerance and will often need to increase their dosage in order to feel the same effects. At this point, their body is dependent on the drug and may seek rehab for oxycodone addiction.

When one stops taking OxyContin without proper oxycodone rehab, withdrawal symptoms can occur 4-8 hours after the last dose. The first full day of OxyContin withdrawal can result in flu-like symptoms, but after that, more severe withdrawal symptoms can set in and last up to two weeks.

An addict can experience a variety of withdrawal symptoms that include:

Panic attacks
Gastrointestinal issues
Muscle weakness
Mental issues such as anxiety or depression
Loss of appetite
Irritability
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
Increased risk of heart issues
Bone and joint pain
Diarrhea
Blurry vision
