Almost always when they inject it. Like vomiting immediately afterwards and insane profuse sweat...from the oxy, not WDs.

I take my oxy orally (swallowed if oxycodone capsules, chewed up if OC oxycontins) and never get those effects except mild nausea sometimes.

The effects look NASTY though. As bad as severe WD. Do you only get them from shooting up? Or from very high doses?

I usually only take around 100-130mg oxy a day which I guess is a lot for a legit user, but not much for a recreational user so maybe that's why I don't get so much with the side effects?

I usually feel somewhat calmed by Intervention, seeing people going through a similar situation (I was a very hardcore alcoholic for 3 years...that was mainly when I watched it)...but every so often I see an episode that scares the shit out of me.

Btw, for people who don't know it's a documentary, so it isn't just filming inaccuracies or dramatics or anything.
 
Ah. So you think those kind of effects just happens when you take more than your body is used to? Not an overdose...but still too much?

Yes exactly. It happens when someone takes way more than tolerated will experience those effects. Happened to me when I would sniff more dope than I normally would (albeit a long time ago) but its like OD effect but too slow to actuqlly make you OD imo

this is exacly what is happening. different people have differing definitions of how fucked up you need to be before you are considered 'high'....
 
Bear in mind that they are also VERY loaded so those negatives most likely are easy for them to ignore. I personally have never really got much more enjoyment out of IV oxy than just chewing them up. Idk if its the ritual or what, but like I said chewing them always worked for me. I actually haven't taken OC since they changed the formula so maybe that has something to do with it.. ??
 
Definitely too much! I used to take up to 400mg of Oxycontin and Oxy-IR (legally) but used to tweak the dose a bit on bad days. Depending what was on my stomach and particularly hot weather, I could puke at any moment. It would pass where I sometimes did and sometimes didn't actually puke but I kind of got used to it. My most recent bout of that came from Opana, before they changed the formula. I would snort 20-40mg when I first got up in the morning and although I wouldn't puke, my stomach would roll a few times and then I was "good" for a number of hours. I hate the new formula for the record!

No idea. I live in England so I still get the "OC" OxyContin where you can easily break the time release.

I would never IV oxy. It has a BA of 85% orally so personally I don't think its worth all the extra dangers that come with shooting uo just for a faster hit and that extra 15%.

By "new formula" are you guys referring to the new OxyContin that you can't break the time release on? That must suck.
