⚠️ Someone who is "snoring" heavily and cannot be woken is not asleep. That is an emergency.

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.

Important: do not stop oxycodone abruptly without medical supervision. After prolonged use, stopping quickly can cause severe withdrawal and real risks. Start with your GP and ask for a supervised tapering plan.

Six routes, six separate pages

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.

I ordered or was given something online

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.

Buying oxycodone without a prescription

This 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 →

Tapering off and stopping

Do 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.

Counterfeit oxycodone and placebos

Counterfeiting pays better than the real thing, and that is no accident. Why fakes are more profitable, how the trade is organised, and why you only notice when it is too late to do anything about it.

How you end up here

A 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.

The figures

Not a few unlucky cases. A pattern, with sources.

Every number below can be traced to the Dutch Health Care Institute or the Trimbos Institute. That is precisely why this is not scaremongering, but a warning you may take seriously.

443,200

people received oxycodone through a community pharmacy in 2024. Not a fringe phenomenon, but a drug present in Dutch households on a large scale.

378

people aged 15 and over died in 2024 from the direct consequences of drugs or opioid painkillers. In 2014 that figure was 123: three times fewer.

161

of those deaths were caused by opioids, against 40 in 2014. The highest year was 2023 with 178; there has been a slight decline since.

Do you recognise this?

Four signs the trap is closing

Not as an accusation. As a checklist. If you recognise two or more, that is not a character flaw but a medical signal.

You use for longer than intended

Not necessarily because you want to, but because stopping now feels frightening or impossible.

You plan your day around pills

When have I had enough? When does the trouble start? How do I get through the night?

You look for supply outside the care system

Telegram, vague numbers, expensive deals. That road gets dark fast.

You are ashamed and say nothing

That is exactly where it becomes dangerous. Shame isolates. Help usually starts with one honest conversation.

You don't have to solve this alone.

The help page lists the phone numbers and organisations reachable today, anonymously too, plus what you can say when you call.

Background

When good care still becomes a trap

Oxycodone is not only the subject here. It is an example of a larger pattern: people enter through a normal route, but as soon as it becomes complex, nobody is in charge any more. This site is the warning part of that dossier. Below is where to find the rest.
