(Nucynta/100 mg) - Experienced - Full Review

During the summer, a buddy of mines mother got a liposuction(spell check) he handed me a couple and I had no idea what they were I looked them up and still had never heard about them or anything, so I took two and waited forever and nothing. About an hour later I smoked a bowl thinking it was bullshit and I was just gonna get high(smoking weed for me makes my opiate high go away) shockingly, it kicked my ass. I could barely drive. About a few months later he handed me a couple again after I had just smoked a bowl so I took them, once again, kicked my ass. Last time I took them, I snorted one...BAD IDEA and took half. And once again smoked weed. I seriously think they aren't shit without weed which is so weird to me.
 
So why is this drug schedule 2? It seems like it should be a schedule 3 at the most.

It doesn't seem like this stuff has much abuse potential... Compared to other schedule 2 opiates.
 
I had a script for Nucynta 100mg at one time and my thoughts on it were "crap"... got switched back to the Perc and Tabs. Just my thoughts..
 
Great point

ill gladly give the feds back their narcotics if it's such a big deal that i use them (if you use them chronically, your tolerance goes up, the more pain the more meds). I'll give them the narcotics back ONLY if i can trade my disease to them. They can have all the pain, suffering, and medical bills, and prescriptions for not only the narcotics but the 12 other immune system suppressants, chemo, and other insane chemicals used for crohn's disease.

thanks for listening

I like that response - all of us who unfortunately need these drugs to have a chance at a life rather then having to be bed ridden.

I too have genuine pain management issues, thought not nearly as dire as yours. I wanted to agree with your observation that the drug seekers have made it nearly impossible to get good medical treatment for pain in many locations. I recently visited family in WV and found that the doctors in that state are actually terrified to even attempt to manage pain. I grew up there and have several old friends who are physicians and even a few family members who are and I could not believe the threat and pressure they are under.
 
I have some experience with Nucynta. I was using Roxis for the past year (at the end of my addiction I was using 10-20 Roxi 30mg daily.

Long story short, I have been clean and sober for 25+ days. I started taking Nucynta a few days ago. Keep in mind while I was taking Roxis I have taken Nucynta a few times and didn't feel ANYTHING. I know it was because my tolerance was so high and I was taking Roxis.
I have been taking 100-200 mg for the past few days. Compared to a "real" opiate its like tic-tacs. BUT I must say I have felt some relief and that warm fuzzy feeling.
It takes about 30 min to kick in but once it does I feel at ease.

I personally feel that it is a great new drug and if people that may want to get off the roxis/oxys and still may need to take pain meds, try this. I would recommend detoxing completely first before trying Nucynta. If you don't, most likely you will not be satisfied with the results.
 
Since I was recently prescribed this drug and could not find a whole lot of information on it since it is still fairly new, I figured I would post my personal experience with it. Now I use my meds for legit pain relief as I have a bad back (3 jacked up disks/Arthritis) along with being a not so common male chronic migraine sufferer, which doctors believe I inherited from my mother who suffered the same. Back to the point, this week i was prescribed Nucynta ER 50mg. I had to go to 5 different pharmacies before being able to locate this drug... I assume because it was newer. The 4th pharmacy before i got my script filled it with regular Nucynta not the ER, because he had never heard of the ER before me. Keep this in mind if you yourself have been prescribed this med and make sure its right. Even with my insurance it is pretty expensive stuff. I have thus far taken 10 of these (not all at once) and for me personally it has not helped my pain(migraine).

Also, to add since they weren't working anyway, I decided to attempt something concerning crushing. I went as far as pulling out my mortar and pestle and could not for the life of me crush the Nucynta ER. Seems the ER is uncrushable, save for maybe a tank running over it. :)

Its cause it has a bit of anti depressant in it as well. It is also and SSRI while being and opiate.
 
20 percent ssri and 80 percent u-upiate

Its cause it has a bit of antidepressant in it. Its a 20% SSRI and 80% u-opiate
Thanks for the review.

I am set to pick mine up today to try it out.

Currently on percocet 10mg 4 x a day. which is better than nothing but I havent had any significant pain relief in almost 5 years.

So while I am not entheusiastic , given the nature of my condition anything can happen, so hopefully nucynta will help the pain.
 
Nuycynta acts more like Lexapro crossed with vicodin and adderall

For those of you looking into Nucynta or have been prescribed it, it is a very different and weird opiate/pain killer. I was prescribed 100MG 3 times a day for a lower back/spinal vert. and colitis pain management. It did somewhat help with the pain but very very minimal. It should not be compared to morphine nor percecet 10 MG. You can feel the opiate feeling but my experience with this is that it was more of a mood elevating/boost of energy type drug. I did not find it to be sedative at all. It felt like a mix of adderall-lexapro-and vicodin-5MG. it made me very jittery and twitchy. Nucynta in my opinion should be used for fibromyalgia, depression, and very minimal types of pain like a sprained ankle or some sort of fall. After paying a ton of money i ended up being switched to Dilaudid 2MG which in my opinion is the best pain reliever that you can take orally. Oxymorphone is probably the best option to go with for those with moderate to severe pain and chronic pain that needs to be managed.
 
"Swim" pretty much nailed it. about 100mg is equivalent to a combination of about 10mg ambien and 10mg hydrocodone, minus the itch. haven't snorted it though.
 
Reviving an old thread. My first post here. Just got done going thru wd's from morphine becouse the pain management dr. prescribed nucynta er to replace the morphine sulfate er. I was taking only 30mg morphine sulfate er every 12 hours for about 6-7 weeks. I asked for something comparable that would maybe not give the constipation and headaches that morphine does. I also asked if I would go thru the wd's changing over and He said "no". So He prescribes nucynta er 100mg every 12 hours to replace the morphine sulfate er 30mg every 12 hours. 24 hours into the switch here come the hot flashes, headache, nausia.....So I quit everything. I am now 48 hours clean off all opiods. Feel pretty good mentally today. Yesterday (day #3) was hell! Of course the back pain I was taking morpine for to begin with has returned in full force, but what can you do? Back to the ibuprofins I guess. Currently undergoing spinal decompression. Thinking of getting an epidural asap so I can function. My main reason for posting here is just to add to this report and to inform anyone who is considering switching to nucynta from morphine to expect the wd's.
 
Ok. So I have a very high tolerance for oxy codone and hydromorphone also morphine and have been mainin them for years so when nucynta came out I tried a 50. It did nothing. More recently I heard they could be mainlined. So I cooked 200 mg's filter with q-tip head and found a vein and plugged it. Burns like hell no real opiate full body buzz/ rush that u would get with dilaudid or morphine.more of a gentle onset. Then a buzz comparable to taking alot of tramadol. Which makes sense since tramadol and nucynta are in the same family. Point is that if you are a heavy user of real opiates this stuff is for the birds.
 
I wanted to let everyone know a little about "Nucynta", or "tapentadol" (chemical name). Once a patent runs out, other pharm companies use the chemical name for sale of product. My husband is a Pain Management Doctor (named one of the top 10 in country), he has been practicing in Dakota Dunes, SD for 18 years. I am really frustrated with hearing "Tapentadol is similar to Tramadol", on the contrary, it is not really similar in structure to anything we have seen in 25 years. My husband says that it is complete garbage to consider the possibility of this new drug being anything like Tramadol. It is more like Demerol, hitting the mu opioid receptor which produces effects ranging from slight euphoria, hallucinations, and sedation. Please do not compare this drug to something that is not an opiate. Tramadol is considered to be more of an SNRI analgesic chemically unrelated to true opiates. It is a "big gun" as my husband calls it. It is also given to people the docs believe are drug seekers because it does not produce the true euphoria, possibly because of the SNRI component. I am a counselor, and have worked with adolescents my whole career, I have seen drug seekers. Nucynta is a Schedule II opioid antagonist, somewhat similar to Methadone in side effects. So, if a patient comes right back in to see the doc because this is not working, most docs will see it as someone who just wants to get high. I am also a pain patient, I am very patient because it is basically trial and error because pain is subjective. You have to be very honest with your Dr., they will take good care of you, and give you what you need if you ask for it, but do not abuse it. My email is [email protected] if anyone has any questions about different pain treatments, I can consult with my husband and give you accurate info. I am on these boards a lot, and I see a lot of self-righteous indignation from people who think they know more than there Dr.'s; however, they cannot even spell medical terms correctly. The most dangerous aspect of people that think they know it all is that others are naive enough to believe it. No drug is going to completely get rid of your pain. If you go to a Pain Specialist, do injections first, do not question their techniques. These days, the Government is all over the PM docs about handing out these meds. If you want meds initially, and refuse the injections, they will see you as a drug seeker, you might get "fired" as they call it, then put into a system. They arrest people who come in and say they "lost their pills", btw. These doctor's are doing you a favor, every time they write a script, they have to cover their asses.
 
Tapentadol for anyone who wasn't firmiliar with this medicine.

I'm going for a swim.

Be back in a minute ;)

Okay.

Thank you.

We don't do SWIM here; there's 2 threads - one stickied, one not - all about how we don't use SWIM. It's also in the OD posting standards.

Plus, this is a Trip Report, am I right?

OD -> TR

I just got out of the grammatical pool and the water sucks today.

Thanks for the report. BLUA agreement is right in my signature please read before posting everybody, cheers.

I have nothing to add about this opiod but it sounds like a decent medicine if used properly. I'm not really an opiate guy, not that I'm against them. Not my cup of tea.

Helped my friend hit a vein the other day and declined a shot for myself. Never IV'd a drug myself before, but was happy I had come with nitrile gloves, alcohol pads, lighter for sterilization, sterile saline, etc. She was shooting suboxone that was a digression, was an interesting learning experience for me especially considering her veins were shot and the spike she was using was one of those shitty 33m tuberculin syringes. Horrible. But she registered good with no ill effects. I took a little bump, woke up itching my ass off remembering why I don't usually take opiates and took two klonopin to control the itching (common symptom of gabaergic WD for me is histamine release).

Sorry for the tangent I'm fascinated in the IV drug culture though so wanted to add my little first experience with it.

Nuycynta acts more like Lexapro crossed with vicodin and adderall

This sounds like a terrible combination to me, but everyones mileage will certainly vary.

I would prefer nucynta over H any day. When i first got into opiates i would get the nucies 100mg. Usualy take 1-2 at first but then started taking 3-4 (snorting) burned like hell, but i ended up enjoying the burn. Shooting these pups up were great, pretty sure it was my first drug IVED.

Maybe i only like it so much cause i cant get it anymore. I would easily hallucinate on these in a dark room off of 2-4, very pleasant. Hallucinations similar to a large dose of benadrly but no body discomfort, just really sedating and chill drug. I got them really cheap so it was awesome while it lasted. Deffently not as strong as dope, but I would pay good money for another sesh with my nucie baby :D :) :\ :(
 
Hey to anyone that pm'd me on how to bang these, i cant reply yet since im a greenlighter. But make sure you get the orange coating off of the pill using water so you're left with a white pill. Then simply crush and add water. Its not a huge rush but its deffently there. I replied to your message then realised it didnt send :\ so sorry i couldnt give you an answer via msg.

If you're planning on banging more then two pills then you may need a 3cc syringe. For every 100mg pill add around 70 units of water. You wont get all of it back, sorry this was awhile back so sorry if im off a bit. Idk how safe this is but ive done it prolly around a hundred times a few years ago and im fine. Dont add heat to the solution. Simply stir and filter.

MAKE SURE THE ORANGE COATING IS OFF. Hope this helped. Injecting pills isnt safe but if you're going to do it then make sure you're not adding heat and filter a few times
 
From SUBOXONE to NuCYNTA

I started taking Nucynta IR 75mg nine days ago (1 pill every 4 hrs). I was currently taking at least 8 mgs of Suboxone daily, sometimes up to 24 mgs (addicts generally take more of everything, especially medication). The reason I had to quit suboxone is because I am having my second spinal fusion (L4-S1). The neurosurgeon wants me to be completely of suboxone at least for 2 months. He just wants to know for sure that I will be responsive to opiates in post-op.
I have been on ridiculous amounts of almost every opiate a doctor can prescribe. When I explain the effects Nucynta is having on me, I don't want anyone questioning my past experiences. With that out of the way, lets get into describing the transistion. I was surprised to find that I had zero WD's from suboxone. Obviously it was from keeping a steady flow of Nucynta in me. For the first 6 days I didn't really feel anything. I wasn't high and not sick. Day 7 I woke up and took 2 and half pills. I smoked a bowl, drank some coffee... BOOM!!! I def got that great warm feeling. After about two hrs I started getting very itchy and having some considerable nods too. I have been reading a lot about people complaining that nucynta is shit and what not. This is my final thought on Nycunta: they absolutely will keep the wd's away. And if you have not much tolerance then you will for sure catch a nice buzz if you eat 1 or 2 of these. PS.... these are nothing at all like tramadol. Nucynta is a CII and I understand why, they will get you fucked up and I def see potential for abuse.
 
If I could get a nucy script id be off subs in a heart beat. I really wana get off it too but nucys all day wouldn't help
 
Ive been prescribed tapentadol er for a while now, it doesnt seem to have any effect on me, i have quite a high tollerance. as i cant find a way to prep these to shoot i decieded to give plugging a go. i didnt expect but bot was i wrong, 100mg er has given me a very europhic nod (not unlike 50mcg 25mcg fentynal extracted and iv'd completely to my surprise!!! Just thought id throw in my 2 cents (haha even know i should say 2 pennies as im from the uk). I would highly recomend it as the oral biovaibility seems rather low. i used to be a big tramadol lover, but for me the way forward is to plug tapents.
