Why does Oxycontin cause epilepsy?
It can affect the brain, and anything that disrupts the working of the brain can cause seizures. Having seizures is only a possible side effect and so it does not happen to everyone. If someone already gets seizures they are not meant to take oxycontin. Epilepsy is classified as a tendency to have recurring seizures. So even if someone took oxycontin and had one seizure, they would not be diagnosed as having epilepsy. Anyone can have a seizure in their lifetime at some point, but it is only people that have lots of them that are diagnosed as having epilepsy. So if taking oxycontin caused someone to have a seizure and then they never had one again, they would not have epilepsy and so saying that oxycontin can cause epilepsy is not really accurate. It is more accurate to say that it can cause seizures.

What would make your levels low for Oxycontin in urine test if taking everyday?
Why are you taking Oxycontin, and why are you being tested? If you are being legitimately treated for illness with Oxycontin, be upfront with the people who expect you to test; a note from your doctor or detailed receipt (with a diagnosis) from the clinic will help. Taking such medication may still disqualify you (at least temporarily) from certain jobs. If you are taking Oxycontin without a prescription (or even worse, recreationally), you are playing with your health. Stop it. If you can't stop it, get help.
