oxycotin side effects?

[rosebuds]

My husband has been perscribed oxycottin for 1 1/2 years.  He takes 3 40 mg tablets a day.  He walks around looking stoned most the day and can fall asleep standing up at times.  He takes it for back pain.  He has become dilusional at times and has imagined people poisoning his drink and imagined people in the driveway and animals in the house.  Is this a side effect?  What are the side effects of oxy?  He doesn't work and has not paid bills for several months and doesn't seem to care about it.  We will be losing our house probally and he has no plans.  Could this be related to the oxycotin?

My husband has been on oxycotin for back pain also. Yes the zombie effect seems to be a side effect. He gets a good high at first and then crashes soon after. It's really hard on him because he works 2 jobs to keep a roof over our heads. I lost my job 4 years ago and have been unble to get hired anywhere. He has no choice but to try to function on the meds. He took it upon himself to lower the dosage while working. It's the only way he can function. He doesn't remember conversations and is ill alot also. Since he has been on it his fingernails have turned white , thought the dr says it's a vitamin deficiency. He didn't have this problem before the drug. Good luck.
