OxyCotin and lorazepam misuse

[anthony]

dr.,
I have a friend that has been taking lorazepam 1mg tablets and oxycontin tablets for over two years now and I'm wondering how to get help for him.
My friend takes 3 lorazepam tabs and two oxycontin tabs a day what are the possible side effects of abruptly stopping these drugs?
What are the long term effects that these drugs have on his body,I know that the body is dependant on these drugs,how has his body changed from having a constant supply of narcotics in his system?

How do people that are used to doing 6 40,s a day come off of them so easy without withdrawing so bad?  What helps the withdraws?  I hurt ache if I dont have A oxy.
