My doctor told me that missing or completely stopping having periods IS in fact a possible side effect of oxycontin. I take very high doses though, due to chronic neck and back pain I've had for many years due to lots of conditions: 3 herniated discs, stenosis, nerve damage, etc. Anyway I have been on oxycontin over 7 years and have not had a period in over 6 years. I am now 35 so was only in my late 20s when my periods stopped. Luckily I never wanted children, but I feel bad for those who do and have menstrual problems due to oxycontin.
