Information please!!!

I have a friend who is majorly addicted to oxycotin 80mg.  I'm really clueless about this drug and he has asked me for help.  From Friday to Sunday he's taken 16 pills by mouth or my snorting them.  I don't know if this is a high dose or not, I'm really clueless.  He says he's become tolerant to the medication and has to snot them now just to get a "high".  Withdrawal symptoms have been so severe that all of his muscles ache if he doesn't take them and can't even get out of bed for work without taking the pills.  He doesn't want to involve his family so I'm really not sure of how I can help him.  He's been off for 2 days but is finding it unbearable to cope.  What do I do?

I agree with firefaery, he needs to see a professional.  Coming to the forum is good too but that is a gynormous amount of oxy's to download from Fri to Sun (especially up his nose) and then just quit.  How long has he been doing this?  If he won't go to anyone it wouldn't hurt at all for him to look at the Thomas Recipe if he thinks he can go c/t.

I would also reccomend for him to talk to a doctor.  You can help but he has to be the one to do the work.  I hope that he really wants to get better because you can't force him to get better.  This is something he has to really want.  The withdrawals can get really bad, you may be able to help him cope by getting him the supplements listed in the Thomas Recipe.  Good Luck and lots of Love.
