⚠️ Someone who is snoring or making gurgling sounds and cannot be woken may be having an opioid overdose. Treat this as an emergency.
Call 112 now⚠️ Last officially confirmed via DRUGSinfo/Trimbos: 8 April 2026. Counterfeit oxycodone containing nitazenes is still circulating.
Read the warning →Oxycodone can save lives. And wreck them. For acute pain, oxycodone may be necessary for a short time. Briefly, closely supervised, with an end point. But the drug dulls more than pain: it also dulls tension, low mood and restlessness. That is exactly why it is so hard to let go, and why outside medical supervision a painkiller quickly becomes something else.
Searching for "buy oxycodone"? Then you are probably not just browsing. Chances are you are in pain, afraid of withdrawal, or stuck in the care system.
In March 2025 someone in the Netherlands died from counterfeit oxycodone bought online. The forensic institute found no oxycodone in the pills, but the nitazene isotonitazepyne. The Trimbos Institute confirmed in April 2026 that the warning still stands.
To the warning → Route 1 · I'm looking for pillsThis site gives no sales addresses. Not via Telegram, not via WhatsApp, not via webshops. But it does explain what really happens on the other side of that conversation: advance payment, blocking, and pills nobody knows the contents of.
Why that road is a dead end → Route 2 · I want to stopDo not stop abruptly if you have been using for a while. Why that is dangerous, what a supervised tapering plan looks like, and what you can literally say to your GP if you find that conversation daunting.
To tapering off → Route 3 · I need helpWho is reachable today, anonymously too. From 112 in case of a possible overdose to the anonymous helplines for when you are not ready to talk to your doctor yet.
To help → How the market worksThe illegal market contains both genuine diverted medicines and dangerous counterfeits. Why packaging, seller profiles and previous deliveries cannot reliably tell you what you are getting.
Read how it works → Told from the insideA story in four phases: a prescription on discharge, tolerance nobody notices, a hospital that stops abruptly, and a tapering plan that did work. Written for anyone who wants to understand why "just stop" is not advice.

Not as an accusation. As a checklist. If you recognise one or more of these signs, discuss your use with your GP or pharmacist. They are signs to take seriously, not a diagnosis.
Not necessarily because you want to, but because stopping now feels frightening or impossible.
When have I had enough? When does the trouble start? How do I get through the night?
Telegram, vague numbers, expensive deals. That road gets dark fast.
That is exactly where it becomes dangerous. Shame isolates. Help usually starts with one honest conversation.
