I am sorry you are having problems with anxiety.  Did your doctor prescribe you this medication for anxiety??  I know anxiety can come out of the blue and cause one to be fearful and confused.  This is what makes this cycle so hard to handle at times.

Have you been to see a therapist at all about this?  Furthermore, oxycontin is EXTREMELY addictive and abused a lot.  Messing around with this can be VERY dangerous and withdrawal effects can definitely cause anxiety. What you need to do is see your doctor ASAP about this and tell him/her what is going on...please keep us posted.
