oxycontin - why the sneezing?

I've been weaning myself of oxycontin for over a month now and Yesterday, I got down to ONLY 1 oxy for the whole day. So, I'm happy, I'm doing it, It's Hard.  I don't feel well, I feel like ****, runny nose, achy, nauseated, all that and more.

But I am sure curious --- the whole time I've been on these oxycontin's immediately after taking one, I (lots of times) go into this sneezing frenzy, even on this low does. Anyone know why?
