Oxycontin Used To Treat Bi-polar
(Newest replies first)

Has anyone ever heard of oxycontin helping with bi-polar disorder? I found out by mistake. It controls my manic episodes. Which were the thing most people fear most. I just don't understand why no one seems to know this, or why it isn't used on a regular basis. I know it is addictive, but I am a Whole person for the first time in my life and I have NO rage and no manic episodes. Why is that?

I'm not a Dr, but have had dealings with many types of drugs trying to overcome my anxiety disorder, and borderline manic/depressive that was diagnosed at 19 (now 40) f

Oxycontin contains the narcotic Oxycodone as the active ingredient and narcotics are essentially downers, so it may help prevent the manic episodes from occurring for you.

However, the reason it isn't used to treat such issues is that it does not do this for everyone that uses it and that addiction possibility.
