Hi there, I'm from southern Ontario and until a few days ago was using oxy every day, ~40mg-50mg snorted in probably ~10mg doses as I would break the pills up into pieces. I started with percs a few years ago for bad pain in my knees and back, started to take them every day, 1 or 2... stopped, started again, stopped, started snorting oxys because it was easily accessible to me as I knew someone with a script.
Now that's all over and done with, and my friend has switched to the new oxyneo. They look pretty much the same except they're thicker and have ON on one side (I'm guessing for Ontario). Out of curiosity I popped one in my mouth without really thinking about it, just a habit I guess, and YEP, instantly the whole pill got super slimy and sticky. Pulled it out quick and tried to wipe off the coating, that was pretty difficult. I ended up biting a 40mg pill into quarters (with a bit of effort, dang those things are rubbery) and took it orally in small doses to see what happened. Overall I felt pain relief and withdrawal symptom relief, but absolutely NO high. This is a good thing for me, I'm looking to stop anyway and this seems to be a reasonable route to go. I'm in school atm and can't really be shitting myself in class for a week so I plan to step down my dosage gradually over a few weeks... with cold turkey I can handle the initial withdrawal symptoms like for the first day or two but after that it's just terrible.
In terms of abuse I would say that yes it is possible. A few people on other forums are posting instructions and my friend tried it, and it worked pretty well actually, but the thing is it's quite the hassle and not really practical for constant daily abuse. If you want to go to the trouble then by all means, but this seems like the right time for me to stop snorting this drug as I really don't want to have to do that anymore. I only ever took oxy orally once or twice and was pretty high for a little bit, but then pretty sick afterwards and so there wasn't really a benefit to taking it that way for me. Since the old oxy was instant release it was kinda all at once in my tummy but this new oxyneo had a suuuuper slow release, to the point which 30 minutes after I took it I still didn't feel anything, but after about an hour and taking another 1/4 of a pill I started to feel better. Even with the coating off it still worked for me, I've heard of people trying to take it orally and then vomiting up gel, but I think it was because they probably tried to crush it and then eat it / mix it with water and drink it. If you take it whole you should be fine.
Sorry if my post was too long but it seemed there was a bit of confusion about what this new oxyneo formulation will be like and I just wanted to give some information and share my experience. Thanks guys.
