Oxycodone

Oxycodone is a potent opioid analgesic prescribed to manage moderate to severe pain. However, if this drug has been used for long periods of time or at high levels, then a sudden stop in use can lead to withdrawals. Common withdrawal symptoms may include restlessness, anxiety, nausea, diarrhoea, sweating, insomnia, muscle aches and sudden changes in mood or behaviour.

As a prescription medication, commonly issued under the brand name OxyContin, it is possible to become addicted to oxycodone without realising it.
