Hi...this is Barry the pharmacist. I'm sorry I was unable to respond sooner, but I just read your post. Good news and bad news. The good news is that less than 1% of people taking oxycontin experience visual hallucinations. The bad news is that you appear to be in that 1%.
I don't know what type of pain you are experiencing, but your doctor has other options.
The others who replied to your post are spot on! This is a very over-prescribed, widely abused and addictive opiate. My suggestion would be to contact the prescribing physician as soon as possible. Only he or she knows your medical condition, your level of pain, the interference of the pain with your activities of daily living, the length of time you have been taking oxy, etc.
If you are not suffering from around the clock moderate to severe pain, then you should be on another type of analgesic. Oxy shouldn't be taken for pain that is intermittent or is less than moderate to severe. If you've been taking it for awhile, stopping suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms. Again, check with your doc as soon as possible.
Good luck...Barry
