Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: fast/slow heartbeat, fainting, yellowing eyes or skin, persistent nausea/vomiting, stomach/abdominal pain, mental/mood changes, clumsiness, trouble urinating, signs of infection (e.g., persistent sore throat, fever). This medication may cause your urine to turn green-black in color. This harmless effect is temporary and will disappear when the medication is stopped.

Heroin abuse is associated with serious health conditions, including fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, collapsed veins, and, particularly in users who inject the drug, infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. The short-term effects of heroin abuse appear soon after a single dose and disappear in a few hours. After an injection of heroin, the user reports feeling a surge of euphoria ("rush") accompanied by a warm flushing of the skin, a dry mouth, and heavy extremities. Following this initial euphoria, the user goes "on the nod," an alternately wakeful and drowsy state. Mental functioning becomes clouded due to the depression of the central nervous system. Long-term effects of heroin appear after repeated use for some period of time. Chronic users may develop collapsed veins, infection of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, cellulitis, and liver disease. Pulmonary complications, including various types of pneumonia, may result from the poor health condition of the abuser, as well as from heroin’s depressing effects on respiration. Heroin abuse during pregnancy and its many associated environmental factors (e.g., lack of prenatal care) have been associated with adverse consequences including low birth weight, an important risk factor for later developmental delay.

Well, certainly there are medications in which the active ingredient is a compound that degrades over time, making it less effective as time progresses. I do not know whether oxycodone is such a compound, or if it degrades enough to produce a significant impact on its efficiency.\n\nHowever, other factors may be at work here. It may be that your body chemistry initially had a high tolerance to the drug, but now that you've taken more of it your tolerance has dropped. Have you taken any of the last bottle's pills since you've tried the new bottle? Are they still as ineffective?\n\nIf so, another possibility other than the one you mentioned may be just that the first bottle contained a bad batch of the pills. By the way, those are highly addictive so be careful when using them. :)

You are definitely right to look into Lupron's side effects.  If we were to believe the docs and Takeda Abbott Pharmaceutical's prescribing literature, we'd all think Lupron was the greatest thing since sliced bread.  It's not.\n\nSide effects are potentially extremely negative and long-lasting, and include (as reported by the manufacturer itself):\n\nIncluding but not limited to - Asthenia, General pain, Headache, Hot flashes/sweats, Nausea/vomiting, GI disturbances, Edema, Weight gain/loss, Acne, Hirsutism, Joint disorder, Myalgia, Decreased libido, Depression/emotional lability, Dizziness, Nervousness, Neuromuscular disorders, Paresthesias, Skin reactions at injection site, Breast changes/tenderness/pain, Vaginitis, Flu-like symptoms, Heart palpitations, Syncope, Tachycardia, Appetite changes, Dry mouth, Thirst, Ecchymosis, Lymphadenopathy, Anxiety, Insomnia/Sleep disorders, Delusions, Memory disorder, Personality\ndisorders, Rhinitis, Alopecia, Hair disorder, Nail\ndisorder, Conjunctivitis, Ophthalmologic disorders, Taste perversion, and Dysuria. \n\nTypically, users of Lupron experience what is known as Clinical Flare, which is an exacerbation of side effects and symptoms during the first 2 injections or so; after about the 3rd injection, the symptoms for which you are using the drug (i.e., Endometriosis) may begin to temporarily decrease.\n\nHopefully, because of the way in which you are taking it and the reason for which you are taking it (which is off-label usage, not that it's that big of a deal), you will be one of the lucky ones who only experiences minimal side effects for a short time and in whom the drug is effective and has no negative effects. Good luck to you.

I agree with LFGX3.\n\n\nRitalin affects a normal brain differently, and it can make you sick.  For the person with normal brain function, there are many potential side effects including elevated blood pressure and heart rate, nausea, agitation, headaches, and insomnia.\n\nEven for those people who do need it the side effects are a lot.  I am taking ritalin and have experienced many of it's side effects.\n\nHowever, even short term use can cause long term side effects.\n\nThis is a good book to read:\nAttention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Williams, J.(2001)

Well the Oxycontin will get her possession and distribution of narcotics for start.  Oxycontin is a schedule 2 narcotic.  The fact that it was into a jail makes it "aggravated" in a legal sense.  The term aggravated means that there was some factor of the crime that made it worse. There are also laws against bringing stuff into jail however they are probably misdemeanors.  The narcotics charge will be the biggest problem.
