I went through an addiction to Oxycontin after having it prescribed to me by a doctor who told me that it was not addictive. It was for incredible pain that I suffered from fibromyalgia. It enabled me to work for five years more than I would have otherwise, but it messed up my digestive system so badly that it took three years to get rid of the constant nausea that I suffered from. When I discovered that the cause of this was the Oxycontin that I was being given. I changed doctors and quit the Oxycontin. It was the hardest thing I ever did. I went through the same withdrawal symptoms that a heroin addict does and I know that it was at least a year before I lost my desire for it. I don't think that I could talk about it on the radio...it was too terrible.
