Oxycodone Side Effects and Signs of Addiction


Are you struggling with:

  • A need to use more oxycodone, and more often, to get the same effect?
  • Physical symptoms such as shakes, cramps, vomiting, muscle pain, trouble sleeping and restlessness when you aren’t using oxycodone?
  • Spending more time and money getting oxycodone than with friends, family and activities you used to enjoy?

These are all signs of oxycodone withdrawal and addiction. If you have any of these symptoms, know there is help.

If you need help or someone to talk to about how to quit oxycodone, call us for help. We can help you, your family or friends, deal with the effects of your oxycodone addiction.

Your road to recovery starts here.

At Renascent we treat the whole person, because a drug addiction affects you on every level. Your care will be based on an oxycodone addiction treatment program designed just for you.

OxyContin vs. Oxycodone

OxyContin is the name of a form of oxycodone that was widely prescribed by doctors between 1995 and 2012, but also widely misused and overused by people with addictions to this pain medicine.

OxyContin is no longer available in Canada, and has been replaced for medical use by a pain medicine called OxyNEO.

Oxycodone is also found in:

  • Other drugs products, with other medicines, such as Percocet, Oxycocet and Endocet
  • Immediate-release products like Oxy-IR
  • In controlled-release products including OxyNEO, Apo-Oxycodone CR and PMS-Oxycodone CR.

When used as your doctor has prescribed, oxycodone medicines can be helpful to people with severe pain, but they can be very dangerous: misuse or overuse of oxycodone can lead to addiction and overdose.

We’ve helped more than 50,000 people recover from substance addictions and we can help you too.
