Oxycontin is an opiate. Opiates are highly addictive. I'm not sure about oxycontin but i'm told you can get hooked on heroin (also an opiate) after the first time. Also opiates tend to cause constipation. If you were thinking about taking them then I wouldn't recommend it.
All the information I have here was taken from www.erowid.org. If you want more I suggest you look there. Oxycontin is listed as Oxycodone.

My Mother was on Oxy's for a long time because back pain. I made the mistake of tring them. 5 mg at first(I cut a 10 in half) Oxy-contin gives you the same high as heroin. Leaves you in a europhic state. The pills last longer than heroin. This is why many addicted to oxy's start using herion-easier to get. You will be addicted right away. Depending on how many MG you take reactions can be very bad. You feel like you cant move, throwing up. Addiction and liver and kidney failure are long term effects. I was lucky enough to be able to stop. which is very rare. Not a good thing to get into. Please feel free to write me for any additional info.

OxyContin side effects are usually mild, and tend to diminish over time. As with all narcotic medications, it can impair performance. Driving or operating heavy machinery is not advised, as OxyContin can interfere with mental and physical abilities. Become familiar with your reaction to OxyContin before performing potentially hazardous tasks while taking it.
Common OxyContin side effects: are constipation, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, itching, nausea, sedation, sweating, vomiting, or weakness. If you feel lightheaded or nauseous, lying down may alleviate these symptoms.
Breathing: High doses of OxyContin, or patient sensitivity, can cause breathing irregularity or other respiratory depression. Respiratory depression is the most serious likely side effect of OxyContin, and may be more likely with certain combinations of medication. Check the drug interaction list carefully, and be cautious with any drug that slows the central nervous system or 'may cause drowsiness.' If you have breathing difficulties, OxyContin may not be right for you.
Head Injuries: Oxycodone's narcotic effects can cause an increase of pressure in the cerebral and spinal fluid. If a patient has suffered a head injury, both the pressure increase and the respiratory suppression can be exaggerated. Oxycodone may interfere with an accurate diagnosis or treatment of head injuries.
Acute Abdominal Conditions: OxyContin may interfere with diagnosis and treatment of acute abdominal conditions.
Dependence: Mental and physical dependence can develop if OxyContin is used for long periods of time. Long use of oxycodone can create a tolerance condition where the medication no longer works at the initial dosage.
Overdose: Oxycodone overdose is characterized by slowed breathing, extreme drowsiness progressing to stupor or coma, limp muscles, or cold, clammy skin. Severe oxycodone overdose may result in death due to cardiac arrest or stopped breathing. Seek emergency medical treatment immediately if you suspect an overdose.
OxyContin dosage for adults is usually started at one tablet every 12 hours at a dosage of 20-60mg, and may be increased gradually if patient develops a tolerance or is in extreme pain. Dosage rarely exceeds 160mg per day. Severe side effects rarely occur at the prescribed dosage of OxyContin.
Many cases of drug overdose involving prescription medications are related to mixing drugs that accelerate each other's effects. Never mix a powerful medication like OxyContin with another prescription drug that you or your physician suspect may not be safe. Never mix OxyContin with over the counter medications that have not been approved by your doctor or pharmacist, and avoid mixing it with street drugs of any type. Ignoring drug interaction warnings has resulted in fatal overdose in some patients.
Cautions: OxyContin should be prescribed with caution to patients with Addison's disease or kidney, liver, thyroid, or urogenital tract problems. Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to OxyContin, or any other medication
