• Oxycontin: I just read a post about it; and I’m
  

  Just to add to what I wrote earlier, I want you to know that there are legitimate reasons to be on OxyContin for long periods of time, or indefinatly. One reason is cancer pain, which can be some of the worst pain a body can experience. That pain just doesn’t simply go away after a while, it is there for the duration of the cancer. So when OxyContin became available, it made life bearable for severe cancer patients. It was a Godsend to them. Yes, they had drugs like morphine before, but very high doses were needed to get the same affect that a small dose of OxyContin contributes. This medication improved the lives of many people who lived with ultra-severe, on-going pain for hundreds of thousands of people who before hand, were basically prisoners in there own home while they buried their face in a pillow and scremed due to this pain. Of course, there are forms of pain other than cancerous pain, and OxyContin helps a wide range of pain associated with many different conditions. The only problem is that because of the highly addictive property of Oxy, people who’s pain has gotten better through any means such as surgery or physical therapy CONTINUE to seek the medication for its addictive qualities. They noticed how well Oxy works with things such as menstrual pain, or the every day muscle soreness many of us get from working too hard or playing too hard. Oxy makes the body feel wonderful, simply put, AS WELL AS putting the mind in a very comfortable place. Oxy relives anxiety EXTREMELY well. So when SOME patients have no more severe pain, they still crave the drug because of it many other benefits. At this point, they are ADDICTED. Extreme, extreme, extreme care must be taken in coming off of this drug. Housewives, grandmothers, and little old ladies who never has so much as a drink in their entire l ives have become OxyContin addicts and have gone to treatment over this. OxyContin is a miracle drug for some, and an evil curse for others. Many people want to see it outlawed but in doing so, it would mean the suffering of many people who legitimatley need it for legitimate pain like cancer…………………If you know someone on this drug, be helpful to them by asking them frequently if they feel addicted. Provide them support, be there for them idf they experience withdrawal………………Hope this helped as well.

• Oxycontin: I just read a post about it; and I’m
  

  Pepper, lets’s talk about OxyContin’s strength first, I’ll get to the addictive aspect later.
  
  OxyContin is simply a highly concentrated form of the opiate-based drug Oxycodone, the same ingredient found in Percocet. Percocet as you may or may not know, is a pain reliver prescribed for pain invloved in things like a pulled wisdom tooth, abroken leg, or for severe back pain. If you’ve ever had Percocet, then you would know just how “high” it can make you. Maybe “high” isn’t the right word for you, but instead words like euphoric or light-headed might be better terms to describe these side affects to people who aren’t prone to abusing addictive medications. However for an addict, the word “high” best describes the side affects.
  
  So Oxycodone has such strong side affects, that druggists and doctors recommend not operating heavy equipment like a car until the body gets used to those side affects. With that said, as I mentioned before, OxyContin is a concentrated form of Oxycodone, making the side affects much, much stronger. In fact, a 20-milligram OxyContin pill has enough Oxycone in it to match the level of Oxycodone in FIVE Percocets, minus the Acetaminiphen. Percocet has Acetaminiphen(Tylenol), OxyContin does not. Anyways, the highest milligram OxyContin pill available is 80-milligrams, meaning it packs the strength of TWENTY Percocets, all in one dose. Needless to say, the side affects alone of OxyContin are so intense, it is very easy to overdose because opiates tend to slow down or arrest our breathing and heart rate.
  
  Now add to that strength, the addictive aspect. OxyContin WILL make the body become physically dependent of it. That means of you were to take it for a month, you would experience severe withdrawal if you stopped taking it abruptly. Your doctor would have to wen you off slowly. For an addict however, this dependency spells horror, and would drive the addict to do whatever it takes to get more. So intnse is the “buzz”, that OxyContin mimics the affects of HEROIN. And that is the straight truth. Heroin addicts take OxyContin when they can’t get heroin. There is no other replacement for heroin other than Oxy. OXYCONTINS ARE DAMNGEROUS, and should be taken with exremem caution for very short periods of time.
  
  Hope this helped! (please excuse spelling)

• Why is it that a GPA goes down much faster than it goes up?
  

  Good to see you too :) Really though, it is.

• Why is it that a GPA goes down much faster than it goes up?
  

  It’s averages my dear. Just as in baseball, when a hitter keeps going to the plate more and more that season (”at-bats”), his batting average drops faster (more) when he gets outs, than it goes up when he gets hits. Basically, the more times you try something, the EFFECTS of your falures (negatives, lower grades, outs) increase exponentially MORE than the positives do (just as in life too, isn’t that wierd). You would think it would be an equal rate of increase/decrease for both for those effects, but it’s not.
  
  It’s easier to go down faster than it is to go up, the more times you try something. I guess that’s how you could put it. Someone tried to explain just why that is to me one time but I couldn’t wrap my thick brain around it…….. Math - go figure. …. Hi btw. . . .

Good luck[/quote]
  
  Hey Frank, not to be picky or anything, but it’s “Viola!” (Here it is! in French), not “Walla” (sounds like “walla” though).
  
  Aren’t you from Canada? I thought you would know that.
