When I've taken oxycodone, I've never understood why people take it recreationally. I don't get any of what you describe. Other than a slight spaceiness, it mostly makes it so I can't sleep (or shit). I try to avoid it, though it is one of the few things that will help with the killer headaches I get sometimes.
