Oxycontin effects are respiratory depression,other common ones is constipation,nausea,sedation,dizziness,vomiting,headache,dry mouth,sweating and weakness.Taking a large single dose of an opioid could cause severe respiratory depression that can lead to death.(short term effects)(long term effects) Chronic use of opioids can result in tolerance for drugs,which means that users must take higher doses to achieve same initial effects.Long term use can lead to physical dependence and addiction-the body adapts to the presence of the drug,and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced or stopped.Properly managed medical use of pain relievers is safe and rarely causes clinical addiction,defined as compulsive often uncontrollable use of drugs.Taken as prescribed, opioids can be used to manage pain effectively.

Yes a doctor run a tox screen and tell the difference. Though both are in the same drug family they are very different and their metabolites are different. For instance if you submit a urine sample while using heroin and Oxycontin and it is put through a gc/ms the doctor would know Oxycontin and another opiate had been used. The heroin will probably show up as morphine since heroin breaks down into morphine in the body. The doctor may not however tell the difference between morphine and heroin.

Yes, if not more addictive. They say it's harder to come off Oxycontin than it is heroin. Crazy, isn't it?

No. Oxycontin contains oxycodone, which is similar to, but not the same as, heroin.

It depends on the drug test. If it's a dipstick test, they bosh show up positive for opiates. GC/MS systems can differentiate the two products.
