Rep. Kennedy was hooked on OxyContin, Booze - keeping family tradition alive?


Rep. Kennedy was hooked on OxyContin - USATODAY.com

It almost seems like either drugs, booze or sex addictions are part of the curse involved with being part of the wealthy and politically powerful Kennedy family namesake.
I used to think such wealth or power would be a great thing, I look at what money has done for Britney, many PowerBall winners, Anna Nicole Smith and even this very Kennedy family and I kind of step back and rethink past ideas on the subject

Knowing what I know now, I think I would take a pass...

Rep. Patrick Kennedy said Friday he sought treatment for an addiction to the painkiller OxyContin months before wrecking his car outside the U.S. Capitol last year.

The Rhode Island Democrat told NBC-TV's Today show that he felt great in his recovery from substance abuse and was determined not to let the disease "take its toll on me ever again."

Kennedy checked into the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota last May after the car crash, saying at the time that he had also been at the clinic the previous Christmas. He said only that he was addicted to "pain medication" and did not name OxyContin.

My name is Kurt Fischer and i would like to show you my personal experience with Oxycontin.

I have taken for 2 years. I am 27 years old. I took percecet 10 mg 4 times a day and they helped but gave me massive mindgrains so I switched to oxycotin which I think is a better long term drug. Oxycontin doesnt have a coming down experience you stay feeling good the whole day. The only bad thing about it is getting off it, I just resestly got off it 3 days ago and had very bad withdrawl symptoms even with help of a "junkie" medication.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
