Can you tell me all there is to know about oxycodone used as a recreational drug? Addiction? Side effects? Withdrawal side effects?

Withdrawal is hell. Hot and cold sweats, restless leg, insomnia, body aches, runny nose, diarrhea, vomiting, depression and feelings of emptiness. Physical withdrawal lasts up to a week. Then users suffer from PAWS (post acute withdrawal syndrome) which is horrid. It is the worst depression one will ever experience and can last between 6mo to two years. When abusing opiates, your brain stops producing dopamine (the happy hormone) as it gets overloaded with dopamine from the drug. It takes a long time for this to regulate after stopping and getting clean.
I suggest your friend check themselves into detox to get help and medical assistance coming off of the drug. It is very difficult to quit cold turkey on your own.
Success rates are much higher with a detox program and joining a narcotics anonymous group. Meetings are crucial. The most important thing is your friend desiring to get clean. Without this, recovery won't be possible.
I guess there's nothing I can do until he wants to stop. Thanks for all of the info! @captivated
Anyone?
It might be different with other people.
