Hey man, first time posting, actually created an account just to get involved in this discussion. Your situation and plan really sounds very similar to what's been going on with me recently, so I had to post. So for a whie now I've been back and forth between using pills like oxy (30mg IR) and sometimes Opana (10mg IR or various XR), and then switching over to dope, or making an attempt to quit or take a break using Buprenorphine, and then back to pills, dope, etc, depending on losing or gaining connections, or my tolerance getting to crazy that it makes my life almost impossible to manage (I'm a car salesmen/manager/trainer/technology specialist/anything regular salesmen can't or won't do for our customers, working 50+ hours a week, in addition the being back in school taking night classes, 2 lectures 2 labs this semster, it's a associates degree for process technology, badcually plant operator training)
I used to just sniff the pills, but about 2 years ago I was reading about the bioavailability of Opana, so I decided to try shooting them, and I haven't looked back since. Most recently, I got to the point where I'd crush up 3 Roxy 30's into a single shot, and it went from giving me a decent rush, great feeling, and all around on top of the world mind and body high, to barley anything. So I stated getting this light brown, rock heroin, comes in big softball sized chunks originally I've seen my guy break off grams for me. A gram will typically last me about 8-10 shots, and I've been doing about 3 of them from 6am - noon, then I may do another in the evening, (but I try not to do too much later on in the day, bc then my dick doesn't want to finish and my wife gets fucking PISSED bc she hates it when I don't nut), so total about a half G a day, to try and give you a reference.
So if I do my half G and am done by early afternoon, I'll generally come down very slowly, even though I IV the high seems to always at least be a little present until I fall asleep. I had ran out of dope actually last week after doing this for a while, so come around 4pm the next day, I'm starting to fiend slightly, so I end up finding some oxys, and quciky prep myself a 90mg shot. Now I know it had some effect on me, becuase I stop feeling itchy and sweating, and my pupils did get smaller, but it wasn't until a half hour later after I had a glass of whiskey and beer that I actually could say I felt "high" off the oxy.
Sounds like your H habit and tolerance is almost double what mine is,(I'm 30, male, right under 6ft, 200lbs) and you plan on eating the extended release oxys, I'd say you probably should start with at least 200mg at once (after you test you're tolerance to them, but I don't expect 80mg to do anything noticeable to you at all), and maybe look into dissolving them in soda or something to try and speed up that extended release crap, though I've never had much success with that myself. I know you want to try and dose 3xs a day, but with that extended release formula, I really don't think that I'll be too helpful.
Taking one "large" dose in the morning or early afternoon, hopefully tweaking the amount that it will be able to last you all day and get you to sleep at night, would be my advice. Personally, when I am trying to quit dope (or, I'll be honest, take a break from it), I'll use subs or zubsolv, and take a kinda big dose once a day around 9am, normally 6-8mg Buprenorphine, and I'll stick to that, just dosing once a day. I used to try and spilt it up, 4mg at 9am and 4 at 9pm, but I found it would cause me to crave more, especially if I had decided to have some beers or something in the early evening I've tried to tamper down using roxys after dope before, but once I left my tolerance get low enough again, I'll start using more oxy bc it finally is getting me high again, and the cycle starts all over. Now I'm hopeful this will be differnt for you, especially since your dope tolerance and use sounds like it far exceeds my own, but if after a few weeks your taper down isn't going as you hope, maybe look into suboxone or zubsolv, I know people say that withdrawing from Buprenorphine is worse than dope, but in my option it's worth it because no matter the amount of dope you're using, it'll eliminate withdrawal symptoms, and a maintenance dose of them is WAY less expensive than oxy, even with your stupid crazy prices for those 80's lol. Just something to consider, like I said I hope your plan works, bu given the similarities I felt to your story and plans, I had to share my own.
Wish you the best of luck, and please keep posting updates on how it is going!
