As you probably know, Oxycontin has always been in titles - first as a powerful and effective pain relief, then as a dangerous and overwhelming substance.Now, with the pandemic coronavirus, the opioid again makes headlines again, because opioid dependence increases in some states (like Wisconsin) - and all last month, June 30, Jonathan Sackler, co-owner of OxyContin Maker Purdue Pharma , is dead.Says his obituary onNBC News: "Society is looking for bankruptcy protection as part of a setting effort of nearly 3,000 prosecutions against it by state governments and local governments that blame society to generate the opioid crisis that killed more than 400,000 Americans since 2000. " Yet opioids are always prescribed by some doctors. Here's how OxyContin works on your body if you take it every day and why it may not be for you.

"Oxycontin, like other opiates, can bind to the brain and nervous system receptors causing inhibition or blocking of pain routes, so modifying the way we hate and respond to pain", declaredShadi Vahdat, MD. "Because Oxycontin frees its active ingredient from oxycodone over a twelve hour period," saysDr. Daniel Lanzer, "This is an effective and effective medicine for people with chronic pain."

"Oxycontin replaces or changes how your brain meets some signals. When it is metabolized in the liver, it becomes able to easily pass in your brain," saysDr. Amy Baxter. "It is designed to stimulate the MU receiver, the part of the brain that reduces the pain and causes positive responses to endorphins. It is this positivity that makes it so addictive."

"Opioid drugs, such as oxycontin, work mainly by their interaction with the mu-opioid receptors, especially in the brain and spinal cord," explains Dr. Lanzer. "It raises levels of neurotransmitter dopamine in brain paths that control the experience of pleasure."

"When you take opioids several times over time, your body slows its production of endorphins," says theMAYO Clinic. "The same dose of opioid ceases to trigger such a flooding good feelings. This is called tolerance. One of the reasons for opioid dependence is so common is that people who develop tolerance can feel dose. so that they can feel good. "

"Chronic opioids also produce a modification of the distorted part of the nervous system that causes a lower pain threshold or opioid-induced hyperalards," explainsKeith Heinzerling, MDSpecialist in internist medicine and addiction. "As the opioids initially reduce the pain, the sensitivity to opioid-induced hypergusia is not increased unconditional."

"It is also known to do a somnorance, creates delayed reaction times, constipation and in the case of overdose, can reduce breathing to the point of death," saysDr. Jason Levine.

"In other words, Oxycontin permeates what we feel and we can not react to what we can not feel," saysMichael Lowenstein, M.D.

"Similar to other medicines in this category of drugs, OxyContin can be forming from the habit and therefore caution must always be taken during use," saysMeghan Marcum, Psyd."If taken continually, over time, physical dependence can evolve the meaning of the person may experience problems such as withdrawal symptoms if the drug is immediately stopped."

"Using opiates can slow down your heart rate and drop your blood pressure and make you feel stunned and you faint episodes with a quick change of positions," saysMedhat Mikhael, M.D.

"Chronic use may result in a decrease in sex hormones that may result in loss of libido, reduce sexual relationship, fatigue, anxiety, impotence among men and menstrual and hormonal irregularities at Women, "says Dr. Mikhael.

"Oxycontin may require our natural response to increase the levels of carbon dioxide. Normally, if we breathe slowly, carbon dioxide increases to stimulate our cerebral rod to stimulate respiration," says Dr. Mikhael. "Unfortunately, that moves and the defense mechanism is affected a great deal."

"Drug attackers withdraw the candy coating from pills, crush them and cook them with water, then sniff or inject the mixture, in substance, taking 12 hours of pills in a fast burst," saysDr. Susan Julius. "This concentration version will actually help and focus and give the user a feeling on. For a certain time. »

"Oxycodone is a powerful anti-anxiety medication and an analgesic. He will give people with anxiety, especially anxiety related to psychological trauma, a false feeling that everything is fine and they are safe, "saysDr. BENNET DAVIS. "Trauma changes a DNA in a way read and retranscribes and causes mental and possibly physical health problems. Opioids do not prevent harm, only trauma processing work can. Oxycontin allows the effects of trauma to ravage the millions of people who have experienced psychological trauma and use these medications to feel good instead of getting the problem of the root treated. "

"Race thoughts, high and respiratory heart rates, flowing nose and eyes, and diarrhea are all common weaning symptoms," says Dr. Julius.

"Anyone who takes opioids is at risk of developing an addiction", reports theMAYO Clinic. "Your personal story and your time that you use opioids play a role, but it is impossible to predict who is vulnerable to the possible dependence and abuse of these drugs. Legal or illegal, stolen and shared, these drugs are responsible of the majority of the dead overdose in the United States today. "

"If you take opioids and you have developed tolerance, ask your help doctor," continues. "There are other safe choices available to help you change and continue to feel good. Do not stop opioid medications without the help of a doctor. Exit these medications can suddenly cause serious side effects, including the worst pain that was before you start taking opioids. Your doctor can help you reduce opioids slowly and safely. "
