Side Effect of the "Heroin-Like" Oxycontin: Anorexia (Rush)

I think we may have the REAL reason for Rush's constant weight fluctuations- he's been puking up his meals since he got hooked...

Oxycontin Side Effects

OxyContin, especially when chewed or snorted lowers a person's respiration rate. Each person is different, but as little as half a pill when combined with alcohol or other depressants can lower your respiratory system enough to be deadly. Excessive amounts of OxyContin taken alone or combined with a long list of other medications can also easily kill a person by lowering their respiration until they eventually stop breathing. The most dangerous side effect is overdosing.

Symptoms of an overdose from OxyContin are:


slow breathing
seizures
dizziness
confusion
anorexia
dry mouth
weakness
loss of consciousness
coma
confusion
tiredness
cold and clammy skin
small pupils

Count me as naive but which symptom do you see to support that?

I thought that anorexia meant that you vomitted up your food and had drastic weight fluctuations- perhaps there is more to it than that- I'm no expert...

anorexia is when you barely eat

Rush's possible narcotics induced anorexia not only would explain his weight fluctuations- but also the fact that his 3 Marriges have all been childless...
