How to avoid a nervous breakdown
Because of longer working hours and less pay, peace activists can become run down and overly-exhausted. What's important is to learn how to avoid having a nervous breakdown.
To avoid a nervous breakdown, we must first learn what it is
1. What is a nervous breakdown?
A nervous breakdown is when the person's
body becomes extremely over-exhausted, when a person goes three or four
days straight with no sleep and little food, and often the individual was
already going many weeks straight without proper food and sleep. At the
same time, the person has some serious personal problems he or she was
dwelling on too much. When a person goes many days straight without sleep,
the body becomes so extremely over-exhausted that the person's eyes cannot
see properly, his ears are overly tired and he may not hear well, and similar.
A nervous breakdown (extreme overexhaustion) is often called a "mental
illness".
Breaking down mental illness
|
#1. Serious physical
ailment
#2. Personal problem
|
A mental illness can be resolved by breaking it down into its two components and dealing with them separately. The person should address the physical ailment and stop ignoring it. And, the person should stop dwelling on the personal problem so much. He should rest up, forgive for problems of the past, forget about fears and worries, at least so he or she can rest up and sleep well.
An example would be of someone with a broken leg. This is a real physical ailment. If the person ignores it and starts jogging as if the leg is not broken, then the injury, the pain and the discomfort is going to get worse. If he doesn't see a doctor to get it treated and doesn't take pain medication, this injury will probably cause intense physical pain. Untreated extreme pain will then cause serious sleep loss that results in over-exhaustion which thus compounds the injury and physical pain even more. If the person also has some personal problem he is constantly worrying about too much, and these two conditions occur for several weeks straight, this is usually when someone has a nervous breakdown but it can be avoided. The person counters this by not worrying about any personal problems so much, and by not ignoring the physical ailment. A mental problem can be easily forgotten about because a person chooses what to think about. He can choose to forget about something and he no longer thinks about it. A physical ailment, however, is different in that it is physical and real. An injury will cause pain to the person's body no matter what the person thinks about. An injury should not be ignored because it is physical. A person can forget about mental problems, but a physical problem needs to be addressed by a doctor. Ignoring a serious physical injury or ailment usually makes it worse.
A person experiencing these two conditions for a prolonged period, where that person is close to having a nervous breakdown, can most always counter it and avoid a hospital stay by calming down and addressing the situation with common sense and love. Look for the physical ailment, and get proper medical treatment. It's okay for a person to say "I have an injury that really hurts". At the same time, avoid dwelling on a personal problem so much.
For example: If a person became very confused, upset or anxious after studying a science fiction website or watching a video about a highly controversial topic, he's usually better off by just ignoring it and forgetting about it. Or, if a person is depressed about a personal problem or argument, it's okay to forgive and forget for something that occurred in the past.
Using oxycontin to treat both components
The pain medication oxycontin usually helps quickly address both problems mentioned in the chart above because it not only counters physical pain and soothes the body, but it allows a person to calm down and not think so much.
Most common reasons for going many days with no sleep
The most common reason a person goes with no sleep for many days straight where they enter a mental health facility is because someone close to that person died, where the person was crying, staying up for many days straight worrying, and becoming extremely over-exhausted. The person goes to an overnight facility to get medication, proper food, and good rest so they can sleep it off and recover.
Today Internet privacy is becoming of more concern. This is why most Internet servers will not allow people to talk about mental illness over the Internet. They forbid users from claiming some person has a mental illness. Users who do this can have their emails blocked and accounts shut down.
2. Avoiding a nervous breakdown
To avoid a nervous breakdown, a person
should relax and get the proper rest he or she needs. Forget about personal
problems or any subject causing anxiety or fear. Look for the physical
ailment and get medical attention for it. It's okay for a person to say
"My leg really hurts" or "I'm having serious back pain and haven't slept
in days", this doesn't mean you are a bad person. It's okay to be injured.
People have compassion, plus you have to have compassion on yourself.
To avoid a nervous breakdown, a person
should lighten up his workload and not dwell on personal problems so much.
If a person already went many days straight without sleep, and it's still
hard to sleep, there is medication that can help. Lithium
carbonate is a natural salt that does wonders in countering extreme
over-exhaustion, serious sleep loss, and in helping the body recover. Lithium
helps bring good nutrients to the body and helps return proper sleep and
appetite.
Lithium carbonate
Lithium counters most of the withdrawal
effects of most drugs, including heroin and oxycontin, as well as countering
withdrawal from heavy alcohol use. A person doesn't have to see a psychiatrist
to get lithium, he can get it from his regular doctor by saying he has
lots of work to do and is extremely exhausted, and wants to take lithium
once in a while to counter the exhaustion. Be careful of entering any psychology
counseling or overnight facility that are profit-run and use outdated treatment
methods, overly complicated terms, or are expensive. They usually don't
help much.
Lithium carbonate is found naturally in drinking in water, although in recent decades it has been filtered out of the water supply. Even for those people who aren't suffering from extreme exhaustion or nearing a nervous breakdown, some people find it helpful to take a little lithium once in a while to counter exhaustion while they work. For example, a young college student who must stay up at night studying for exams may take lithium for a couple of weeks. He doesn't take the higher doses of lithium such as those used to counter serious alcoholism or extreme over-exhaustion (which is usually a 300mg three to four times a day). Instead, he takes 100mg once or twice a day, maybe 3 times a day. The actual mechanism lithium uses, is that it replenishes the electrolytes in the bloodstream which become very low due to excessive sleep loss or over-exhaustion.
Always study a drug properly before you take it, and consult with your doctor when telling him which drug you want prescribed.
The amount of lithium carbonate a person weighing 180 pounds can use to help counter exhaustion is usually 150mg twice a day. A person weighing 2/3 of that weight, which is 120 lbs, would take 2/3 of that dosage, which is 100mg twice a day. If a person has more serious problems than just exhaustion, such as withdrawal symptoms of oxycontin, heroin or alcohol, then higher dosages of lithium are usually required to counter the withdrawal and the person need to have their blood taken to check lithium levels each month. For a 180 lb individual, a dosage of 300mg of lithium carbonate three or four times a day may be need to counter withdrawal. People of different weights should have those dosages adjusted accordingly.
Note; Some of the mood drugs advertised by the big pharma companies have bad side effects, so a person should first research them properly before taking any of them. It's also wise to ignore any psychiatric diagnoses, since none of these are factually based and thus have no real meaning. Lithium carbonate differs from other drugs because it's a natural salt found in water. It is the second element in the Table of Elements. Too much lithium is harmful though. Oxycontin is natural as well, being derived rom the poppy plant, it was used as far back as the days of Ancient Egypt and Israel.
Some people do fine with no medication, just by eating good food, calming down and resting. Any of these methods can help a person avoid having a nervous breakdown and avoid entering an expensive overnight facility that costs several thousand dollars a night.
Oxycontin and oxycodone
Oxycontin has the important effect of
reducing physical pain very nicely, which then calms the person physically
and allows him to rest and recover. It also slows the mind down, which
can be nice sometimes when engaged in frustrating work that must be accomplished.
Many people under a lot of pressure take Oxycontin
for a few weeks to soothe the body and calm the spirit. Oxycontin is an
opiate that addresses the physical pain problem and calms the person, thus
avoiding a nervous breakdown. See more on Oxycontin at the
bottom of this page.
Avoid lengthy Internet use
A person in an extremely over-exhausted
state should avoid getting on the Internet so much, at least for a while.
A person can relax better by avoiding violent TV programs, ignoring superstition,
and instead focusing on goodness and love. Rest up and eat well again.
A very helpful book titled No
Contest by Alfie Kohn explains how people always do better when they
cooperate with each other, rather than competing against each other.
By sticking with kindness, honesty and love for all people, by remaining calm, happy, and having the cooperative spirit of compassion, and by remembering that all people are equal under the law, a person can avoid ever entering an expensive overnight psyche facility or having any serious mental problems, ever. The Guidelines for Basic Moral Education explains this well.
It is unwise for an activist to push himself so much that he cannot do his normal work well anymore. It is important to rest and eat enough good food to be able to do good work. :)
3. Understanding cooperation
All nervous breakdowns involve the person
being too competitive and over-exhausted. People who read the book
on cooperation and follow it have a much lower rate of nervous breakdown
or entering an overnight mental health facility.
Various psychiatric terms are usually given if a person rests up in an overnight facility, but these may not be accurate representations of what the person was going through. They are temporary, and they are downgraded as the person recovers, which is why it's best to ignore psychiatric diagnoses since they can cause confusion more than resolve anything. They are considered private under the Privacy Act. The psychiatric diagnoses in use today are 50 years old and are soon to be upgraded and replaced using the PDC chart shown here.
If a person did have a nervous breakdown in the past, this is no big deal. A person can easily put it behind him and recover from any problems of the past by making sure he gets good rest and proper food again, and by not ignoring serious physical conditions. Many musicians and artists have had problems in the past, sometimes staying up many days straight working on a painting or song. They recover by resting and they learn how to avoid it happening again. By putting the problems in the past and forgetting about it. It's also important to ignore superstition and to forgive.
4. Cultural respect
What also helps a person avoid having
a nervous breakdown and avoid serious confusion, is when the person gets
closer to people of his own culture. Each culture has different ways people
express themselves. They often have different forms of humor and little
ways of resolving problems which someone of a different culture may not
understand. If someone is going many days straight with no sleep and little
food, and is becoming confused, if he says something perfectly normal to
someone from a different culture, that person may not understand it. He
may look at the exhausted person like a crazy person, not because the exhausted
person said anything crazy, but because the person doesn't understand the
other person's differing cultural mannerisms or expressions. This can add
unneeded confusion and misunderstanding into a situation that doesn't need
it.
For example, let us say an overly exhausted person says in a conversation to someone from a different culture "five plus five is ten" but the person from a different culture misunderstands the word "five" and thinks the exhausted person said "nine" (in some cultures a five sounds like a nine, especially if the person saying it is extremely over-exhausted). Well, the person from a different culture might think the exhausted person is crazy, having said "nine plus nine is ten".
There are even more cultural differences involving humor, cultural mannerisms, and ways of expressing ones self which differ greatly from culture to culture. No culture is better or worse than another culture. It's just that a person from a certain culture will understand people of the same or similar cultures much more easily. He or she will be less likely to be misunderstood or accused of being "a crazy person".
All cultures are equal under the law. Cultures are, however, different from each other and those cultural differences must be respected. In America, people of all cultures must be treated equally under the law, and this is mandated by federal law Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242; Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law (within that law the term race means culture). After the allies won World War II, America required most other governments around the world to implement similar laws to treat all people equally as well, regardless of race, culture, sex and other differences.
Many people are from two cultures. They
have a beautiful affinity and closeness with both cultures. People from
several cultures understand those cultures very easily.
5. Receiving benefits for mental illness
Some people who suffer a nervous breakdown
receive monthly disability benefits of $800 per month, free health care,
free college, and more. This is the same thing everyone receives in democratic
socialist countries without having a nervous breakdown. Because of
this, the question sometimes arises about how fast a person can recover
from a mental illness (extreme over-exhaustion).
What often physically occurs when a person experiences a mental illness is they develop a breathing condition where the heart and lungs are no longer properly synchronized as they previously had been. This is a physical condition, not a mental one. It can result in irregular heart palpitations lasting up to 20 minutes several times per day. This can include fast breathing, shortness of breath, slowed breathing, and similar. Because America's medical system is far behind, for example, socialist Sweden's medical system, American TV may mistakenly say a mental illness is hard to treat In fact, it is the physical damage to the heart and lungs that can be hard to treat, not any mental problem. Mental problems can be forgotten about, physical problems must be treated.
A heart-lung mis-synchronization is
evident in many people who suffered prolonged extreme over-exhaustion (mental
illness) and even in people who have not. It appears to be a permanent
condition that does require a person receiving SSI disability benefits.
Heart-lung
mis-synchronization is little understood, often misdiagnosed, and often
permanent. A heart-lung mis-synchronization is not a mental problem,
it's a physical one. If a person forgets about it, it's not going to go
away like a mental problem does. It's physical. When someone receives permanent
disability for a so-called mental illness, after the person rests up for
several weeks, or perhaps a few months, the mental illness is gone but
the heart-lung mis-synchronization remains. It is this physical
condition of the heart-lung mis-synchronization they receive disability
payments for.
6. Avoiding a nervous breakdown - King
David of Israel explains how
One of the most famous people who wrote
lengthily about harassment that was pushing him towards a nervous breakdown,
was King David, the first king of Israel. This is written in the Holy Bible's
Book
of Psalms.
A person doesn't have to be JudeoChristian or Jewish to understand the immense value of King David's non-superstitious wisdom in the Book of Psalms. David is harassed and falsely accused, he hides out in caves with little food, he goes with no sleep for many days straight being chased by Saul. The whole time David remains faithful to honesty, goodness and love; the love that is within all people. David's love for God is clear.
The Bible says God is love, and God dwells in us.
King David wonders if he should distrust
certain people, lest they be working for Saul. King David's account
in the Old Testament's Book of Psalms are apparently written in the form
of song lyrics set to music. David's Psalms are an immensely beautiful
piece of historical literature that documents how one person struggles
with the same things we all struggle with sometimes; harassment, defamation,
false accusations of being crazy, and similar.
1: I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.When King David speaks of the children of Zion, he does not mean this racially. He is referring to everyone who follows the Ten Commandments and love for all people. When King David speaks of the house of Jacob, again this is not racial, this is everyone who was joining up and following the Ten Commandments and Moses' sensible laws of cleanliness and equality. Moses wasn't teaching superstition, nor was King David, King Solomon or Christ.
2: Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3: The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4: Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5: Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6: The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7: Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8: For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9: I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10: I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11: I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12: What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13: I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
14: I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
The Wisdom Psalms of King David of Israel, psalm 140
1: Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2: Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
3: They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
4: Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5: The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
6: I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7: O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8: Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9: As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
In addition to King David's wisdom
being of immense value for us all to learn from, the wisdom of Moses is
also immensely valuable. Moses established not only the Ten Commandments,
he also wrote one of the very first laws allowing people to sue if they
suffer damages. This law was enacted 3,500 years ago, while today there
are still certain nations who don't allow people to sue. In some regions
of the world the average person can be beaten by police, harassed, and
have property taken from him, the whole time being forbidden from ever
filing a lawsuit to recover for damages suffered.
King David's love for God, innocence, goodness, and his love for all people protect him and pull him through it all beautifully. He avoids having a nervous breakdown, or if he did, he recovers from it perfectly. King David's Psalms are not only among the earliest accounts of how to avoid and recover from a nervous breakdown, but they are also among the first song lyrics ever published (circa 1,000 BC).
The non-superstitious wisdom of King David is simple; when a person sticks with good morals and obeys the law, when he maintains simple goodness, kindness, honesty, and love for all people, he can always avoid having a nervous breakdown. King David's love for God is unshakable
The Bible says God is love, and God dwells in us.
7. What we also notice about King David's
wisdom
Another thing we see when we read the
good King David's Psalms,
he never blames bad conduct on an illness or on some herb or root. David
never says anything like "I did wrong because I accidentally ate a bad
herb or plant root." Instead, David takes responsibility when he
does wrong. He admits he turned away from wisdom and love. David never
says anything like "Saul was very wrong and bad, but it's okay Saul must
have just eaten a strange plant with a chemical that gave him a mental
illness, so it's okay". No. None of King david's teachings allow anyone
to blame bad behavior or violating the law on an illness, or some plant
root, or a chemical imbalance, on an herb or anything like that. None of
it. David rightfully attributes good conduct and goodness to that person
earnestly desiring goodness, by obeying the law, and by listening to people
with more experience and wisdom. David teaches us that by obeying the Ten
Commandments, by having love for all people, and by obeying the law, every
person can weather any problems and come out of it beautifully.
Non-racist teachings
King David never promoted racism by saying
anything like "a person is born good" or someone is "born a bad person"
ever. King David's wisdom teaches us that all people are good deep
down inside, and all people are born with love and kindness, just that
some people go astray and choose to ignore wisdom, goodness, and love.
Some people choose to push away from the Ten Commandments and instead move
towards greed, dishonesty and perversion (which King Solomon also warns
against in Proverbs). And those people who push away from the law will
cause problems for themselves.
In the Book of Psalms, David admits that he himself went astray a few times and disobeyed the Ten Commandments, and he is sorry for this. He accepts responsibility when he made mistakes. As Christ grew up, he most assuredly studied the law as established by Moses, and most certainly the beautiful wisdom of King David in Psalms as well as David's son King Solomon's Proverbs. It is said Christ taught the law and probably all of this important wisdom.
When reading the Holy Bible, we must remember it is not a fortune telling book. It is a blessed historical book of wisdom and love. None of the teachings of King David, Moses, Christ and King Solomon teach any superstition or fortune telling. The only "looking into the future" being taught is the common sense wisdom that says if someone is doing bad harmful things, he is going to harm his own situation more than anyone else. The Book of Revelation appears to have been written to describe events going on back then, around 68 AD when JudeoChristians and Jews tried to remove the pagan Roman empire's authority over Israel. During those times, a person would face the death penalty if he ever wrote Nero Caesar's name in a document saying Nero should be overthrown. So, the author of Revelation used the old Hebrew number writing style to convert Nero Caesar's name to a number, which happened to be 666 or 668.
The non-superstitious wisdom of King David, Moses, Christ and King Solomon have been put into a document entitled the Guidelines for Basic Moral Education and a manual entitled the Basic Moral Education manual. This is what many of the bigger rock stars are following.
Note on the Book of Ecclesiastes
The Book of Ecclesiastes is sometimes
incorrectly claimed to be written by King Solomon based on one simple understanding
of one initial phrase: "The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king
in Jerusalem." Based on that alone, certain religious scholars decided
the author of Ecclesiastes must be King Solomon. Was Solomon known as a
preacher? More likely if Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes he would have used
his own name Solomon. Because the author calls himself the son of David
does not mean he is the literal son. In ancient times, anyone descended
from a famous person could call himself "the son of" that person (grandsons,
great-grandsons, etc), especially if the ancestor was king. An individual
whose great-great grandfather was a king often called himself the son of
a king.
The Book of Ecclesiastes speaks in the words an older man might use about great failures, but Solomon's reign had little or no failures. Much more likely, the Book of Ecclesiastes was written by a Judean king who lost in battle when the Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in 586 BC. The Book of Ecclesiastes was clearly not written by the King Solomon who published and promoted the Book of Proverbs.
For people who mistakenly believe a mental illness (extreme over-exhaustion) has anything to do with breaking the law, this is a misnomer. No illness can ever make a person commit a crime or break the law, nor can an illness affect someone's morals. An illness cannot give a person good morals, or bad morals. Morals are developed over time. To suggest otherwise is incorrect grammar. All children are born with love and kindness, and a desire for good morals, just that certain ways of properly expressing our good morals need to be developed.
Statistics show a person suffering from extreme over-exhaustion (mental illness) is less likely to break the law than the average person is. This is because he is too tired and disoriented to do anything. Plus, an illness doesn't affect a person's morals. There are no policemen at mental health facilities because they are not jails. They are places designed for a person in an extremely over-exhausted condition to rest up and recover. This has nothing to do with breaking the law. There are some psychology books and news programs shown in America that incorrectly claim a chemical imbalance or brain disorder can cause a person to break the law, but this is completely false. Such books and newscasts are coming from a profit-run field that seems to promote more confusion than it solves, and they should be ignored completely. Lawsuits should be filed against any corporation promoting that incorrect view. A long as a person follows basic moral education, he or she will have no problem obeying the law. No illness can make a person break the law. It is perhaps a crazy person who believes that an illness can.
It is unwise to ever harass someone with mental illness terms, or mock on anyone with such terms. There are strict laws against doing this. Judges greatly dislike that form of harassment because it can interfere with court cases and intimidate witnesses. So, for anyone who was harassing someone with a mental illness term, you are wise to never do that again, and perhaps start doing fundraising work helping children with autism or something.
Governments around the world may soon all
be required to create four separate overnight facilities in accordance
with the OFR Chart and to convert all
old records using the DC Chart.
Lawsuit to make helpful changes
Donations to help the lawsuit
Presently, the large American corporations basically decide what laws are passed, which medications are allowed and for what purposes, and this is usually based on what will bring them in more profits. However, in America if a law is on the books that can deny any person any of his constitutional rights, that law can be deemed unconstitutional and amended to correct it. Furthermore, any citizen can file a federal lawsuit to try to have that change ion the law made. While it is better to hire a law firm, many people today cannot afford that, so, the person may file the lawsuit acting as his own attorney, which is completely legal to do.
More on Oxycontin and oxycodone
Right now, Oxycontin can only be prescribed for very serious pain problems such as spinal nerve damage that results from a car crash or other injury. Hopefully this will change so oxycontin will be allowed for use treating depression and anxiety. Presently, if a person tries to get a prescription by saying its for anxiety problems, he probably won't get it. He has to point at a physical injury problem which is causing intense pain like inner nerve damage. Often the nerve damage will not show up on an X-ray or MRI scan, usually only broken bones will, and inner nerve damage can hurt far more than broken bones can. Good doctors will prescribe Oxycontin based on the person honestly stating he has extreme pain and cannot sleep or work unless he is taking Oxycontin. Many people take Oxycontin for years and do fine the whole time because it allows them to sleep, work properly, and earn the money they need in life. Certain doctors and medical clinics, however, will deny a person the basic pain mediation he needs and instead offer highly expensive treatments that don't even work. Or offer other medications that cost far more and can do more damage to the body (like Indocin). This being done to profit more from the person, rather than to quickly help the person at low cost.
The active ingredient in Oxycontin is oxycodone. Percocets contain oxycodone combined with Tylenol (the chemical name for Tylenol is Acetaminophen). A number of medical websites show Tylenol does much more damage to the body than oxycodone does, which is why many people with serious back pain issues take just straight oxycodone does. Or they take Oxycontin which is the brand name for the timed released version of oxycodone. Regular oxycodone lasts 4 hours, while Oxycontin lasts 12 hours. Oxycontin has 3 doses of oxycodone lasting 4 hours each, for a total of 12 hours. The three doses are contained inside the tablet in a concentric manner, so after one does has dissolved in four hours, the second dose then dissolves to release the oxycodone, and after 4 hours the third dose dissolves releasing that 6.5mg which lasts 4 hours.
The safest way to take oxycontin or other pain medications is for the person to write down the amount he took, what time he took it, and how long it will last. This way, as the day progresses he can check to factually see how much he already took, so he doesn't forget and take too much. This paper would be considered a Daily Pain Management Worksheet. Presently the US government doesn't require a Daily Pain Management Worksheet to be used, nor does it offer one yet. A lawsuit being filed by the author of this article will force the federal govt to make available such a Daily Pain Management Worksheet to help people manage chronic pain problems while taking strong pain medication.
Oxycontin's timed-release
A 20 mg Oxycontin tablet contains three
doses of about 6.5mg each. When a person takes a 20 mg Oxycontin
pill, he gets about 6.5 mg of oxycodone continuously for 12 hours. An Oxycontin
pill should not be crushed, chewed or broken open in any way, because the
person would get all three doses at once, which would be 20 mg lasting
4 hours instead of 12 hours in this example. Doing this can be dangerous.
Oxycontin, oxycodone and other narcotic pain medications tend to slow a persons breathing down. This can be nice and helpful in relaxing the person, but if very high doses are taken, then breathing can be slowed so much, the heart can stop, or other complications can occur.
Very high amounts of any medication usually cause problems in some manner, so it's not surprising that very high amounts of Oxycontin, Percocets or oxycodone can cause injury. When these strong pain medications are managed carefully, they are very helpful to people with chronic pain problems.
Pill Safety
Like any drug, Oxycontin is extremely helpful if taken as directed. A person should never abuse it, crush it, or take too much. A person taking Oxycontin or other narcotics cannot drink any alcohol, since this can slow the heart and breathing too much so as to cause injury or death. If a problem ever occurs while taking these drugs, immediately contact your local emergency room for help and then see your doctor.
