I've been experimenting with drugs all my life. Sadly, my last choice of drug was 'oxycotton' and I've been in treatment ever since. Something inside my brain was switched on - and my doctor says it may never be turned off." <br /><br />From a drug addiction support website, we read;<br />Oxycotton drug addiction cases have been on the rise ever since the drug was introduced to the marketplace. The drug is actually Oxycodone, and sold under the brand names OxyContin, Roxicodone and OxylR.<br /><br />It's known on the street as “oxycotton,” and when its used for recreation, it can be highly addictive. Oxycodone is a Schedule II, synthetic opiate analgesic prescribed for moderate to severe pain.<br /><br />Patients are often also directed to take aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol) in combination with the oxycodone. Dosages are from 10 to 160 mg, and under a doctor’s care, the drug, when used properly, is considered relatively safe.<br /><br />The active agent is a morphine derivative, which is also used in Percodan or Percocet. It is given in pill form and the slow-acting drug, when used according to physician direction, helps manage pain.<br /><br />When the pills are ground up by the recreational user and snorted, it is reported the “rush” is more intense than that of heroin. It’s a long-lasting high. That’s why this drug is so widely abused." <br /><br />Sadly, my friend is also a musician!mrmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721793616621436010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181744309080861233.post-40258018232254012882011-11-07T03:48:58.352-08:002011-11-07T03:48:58.352-08:00I just want to thank you for such an erudite and s...I just want to thank you for such an erudite and sensitive review. You really get what I'm trying to do in the book. And you take the lessons about drugs, addiction, and neuroscience and extend them in important ways. Not only are musicians seemingly so vulnerable to addiction, but recognition and admiration can indeed become addictions too, as you say. <br /><br />I have to admit that, in the years after giving up drugs, I got addicted to the compliments I got from my professors. I worked extra hard to keep getting those compliments: they gave meaning to my life and helped fill the void left by drugs. Then, when I got to be a professor myself, suddenly there was nobody to pat me on the head, and I felt lost and lonely until I got reoriented. My next addiction was getting papers published! <br /><br />Each of the goals one pursues in ones' life can easily take on disproportionate power. But with many of those goals, that's not a bad thing. That's what makes us work so hard to be the best we can be. Which is certainly worthwhile in music. <br /><br />Best,<br />Marc LewisMarc Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570538630153754520noreply@blogger.com
