I was on oxy for 4 years, and getting off them was the hardest things I've ever done. At first, they were the miracle drug, I was positive, outgoing, productive; until I became a full blown addict.
It's a slippery slope with opiates, they are intoxicating especially to bi-polars. After I got through the chills, vomitting and tears- another devil of depression was waiting for me on the other side. It was the hardest and longest depressive episode to date. So be careful with the allure of these powerful little pills.
