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.

Do you have a legal prescription? If you go to your doctor, he or she will look at your medical history and decide which medications are safe for you to take. The problem is when people go to many different doctors and the doctors don't know what else you are taking.I don't recommend taking two long acting pain killers together. Oxycontin is very dangerous and very addictive.
