Effects of Percocet and Oxycontin

My husband is taking both of the pills listed above and is buying them from dealers.  It has been going on over 3 years now and has really gotten expensive.  He has HepC and I have told him how damaging this is to take these pills with his liver disease.  He says that he can't work the way he does without them because they give him energy.  I am starting to see the sudden outburst of anger.  Especially if I say anything about the pills.  Can anybody tell me what the long term effects are going to be for him and how I can get him to see that the pills are not really giving him energy and how bad they are for him?

hey whats up guys i just want to say one thing from experience and as seeing my friends around me that ALL take 30mg roxicodone and honestly i was on them for 6 years doing 15-20 a day  honestly my first biggest step was going to my closest sister and told her my problem after that my sister and i looked online for RAPID DRUG DETOX and i found one and luckily for as bad as i was on pills i did work and made money and of course i had my family help as well but i found this place in Detroit, Michigan and compared to most other places its was alot cheaper and i did sign up and had the procedure done and its been 12 weeks and right now since i had got it done.  i feel like the person i used to feel before those pills took over my life.  i did not go through one small withdrawal.  the procedure took 40 min long.  when everything was all done. I personally walked out of the hospital on my own.  then they took us to a beautiful hotel for 4 nights(ALL INCLUDED IN THE PRICE)  and there was Doctors to check on me every morning  and every night and on call in the hotel if needed. i also think one of the best part of this procedure is that they give you a shot or an implant (your choice) so you don't relapse.  bcuz like i said earlier  from experience and other friends that go to rehab for 30 days or try to use suboxone to stop 100% of those people don't past 2 weeks off the pills and find themselves right back where they were it never ends.  this procedure i had done coast me $8500.00, compared to most places that's a lot cheaper but honestly its a real big relieve not waking up in the morning and wasting  every dollar on pills.  i live in jersey and i flew out to Detroit to get this done and i really honestly changed my life

whoever cant stop and trust me i no y u cant stop. just search up online about these rapid drug detox centers

I am taking oxycontin 29 mg three times a day and oxycodone 15 mg 4 times a day. I have Benny cutting back to oxycodone 3 times a day because I am short this month but also chewing the oxycontin instead if swallowing  it. I have not swallowed it without chewing it it in about 4 days so wondering if basically I have just been taking oxycodone. The first couple days I had some sweating and nausea but I have phenergan for the nausea. I want to get off the oxycontin totally  I have some oxycodone an neurontin so wondering if takin the oxycodone will help with the withdrawals from the oxycontin. I have a horrible back but am in physical therapy and just want to get off this but wondering if I can at least get off the oxycontin by usin the oxycodone for now until I get get off that also.

Hi, im suspectic my fiance is abusing percocets. Last year he developed a drug problem but has been clean for about 6 months. Ive noticed his eyes, and pail clammy skin at times, and outbursts of anger, last night he coudlnt stop talking and asking questions (hes usually a very quiet person) and was getting so angry about little things, but coudlnt form coherent points.... Does this sound like he is using again? He clearly is denying it completly but I have a serious feeling he is lying. Im pregnant with our firat child and scared to death.
