Oxycodone is a controlled substance that is prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. This drug is most commonly mixed with acetaminophen or other medications to produce the name brands Roxicodone, Oxycontin or Percocet.

Who’s At Risk of Oxycodone Addiction?

You may have been prescribed Oxycodone following an injury, major illness, or surgical procedure. If you’re prescribed the drug, you are not safe from addiction—Oxycodone, like other prescription medications, can cause addiction in those who take it with or without a prescription.

The following situations place you at an increased risk for addiction if you are taking this drug:

  • A previous history of substance abuse or addiction.
  • An addiction to other drugs or alcohol.
  • A family history of substance abuse or addiction.
  • Taking oxycodone for more than a few days.
  • Taking oxycodone for anything other than the pain for which it was prescribed.
  • Taking oxycodone that was not prescribed to you.
  • Taking oxycodone for emotional or psychological disturbances.
  • Using oxycodone in situations that are dangerous.

The above situations increase your risk for addiction, but even if you don’t struggle with any of these particular points you could still find yourself addicted to Oxycodone if you take the medication. Even a prescribed drug is addictive when taken for a prolonged period of time—talk with your doctor or a healthcare practitioner if you have been prescribed this medication or any other narcotic.

Signs and Symptoms of Oxycodone Addiction

Recognizing if you or a loved one is struggling with addiction to Oxycodone requires an understanding of the various elements of addiction. Many signs and symptoms are present in early addiction to Oxycodone.

The most common signs include:

  • Lack of interest in activities that were once exciting or otherwise fun for you.
  • Failure to take care of responsibilities including responsibilities at home, with family, children, or at work.
  • Track marks or needle marks on the arms, legs or other areas of the body as a result from injecting the medication.
  • Changes in sleep, heavy limbs or general malaise and fatigue.
  • Acting erratically or behaving in a manner that is inconsistent with normal activities.
  • Choosing oxycodone over meals, important events or other activities.
  • Taking oxycodone for reasons other than prescribed or taking it more frequently than prescribed.
  • Taking oxycodone despite known health consequences that have been caused by your use of the drug.

Additional signs of addiction can also arise. For instance, if you have been taking Oxycodone for a prolonged period of time you may notice that a tolerance is developing and that you need more and more of the drug in order to feel the same effects. As the tolerance developers, it becomes harder to cut back.

You may take more medication or take it on a very frequent basis trying to forgo withdrawal symptoms such as:

  • Upset stomach, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea
  • Headache, body aches, muscle aches and bone pain
  • Twitching, tremors, or shaking
  • Sweating profusely
  • Uncontrollable cravings and thoughts about the drug

All of the above are signs of oxycodone addiction and signify a need for professional help.
