Roxicodone 15mg Snorting Safety

[Okie83]

I have been on Pain Medication. For almost a year. The last 6 months I was taking about 6-8 10mg Oxycodone a day. I have chronic shoulder pain. Fortunately I just had surgery to fix the issue but because of the long term use of Oxys my Liver enzymes were slightly elevated.

So I am now recovering from surgery and switched to 15mg Roxicodone every 4hrs and will be on those for another month. I am homebound with recovery so just board out of my mind. Luckily I run my own business so it's not a big deal as far as that's concerned but my question is, can I snort the Roxicodone? Since there is no acetaminophen I didn't think it would be an issue and would give a good buzz. Any thoughts? Oh and I also take Valium as needed. I have a few bottles of trazodone as well but don't like them so I don't take them.

I have my first appt with the Pain management doc this Thursday because my surgeons office cannot continually write the amount of pain medication required to actually work on someone used to taking as much as I have for such song period of time. Plus I am 6'2 290 so it's always take a little more of anything to be effective on me.

So questions are: Can I snort the 15mg Roxicodone. And should I stick with Roxicodone at my appt Thursday or see if he wants bump up to Fentanyl, Hydromorphone, Dillaudid ect... What are your thoughts?

The reason I'm thinking about going stronger is it takes about 150mg a day of Roxicodone to keep the pain at bay. Once I get to start rehabilitation on my shoulder kicking the pain medication will be a bitch I'm sure but it must be done so no point stressing about it and I still have 4 weeks to worry about before that anyway.

Dilaudid [hydromorphone] is short acting and oral...its useless IMO. As for fentanyl, well, it'll be more efficient than the roxi..

Yes, you can snort the roxicodone.

You're much better off just eating your Oxy. Don't listen to the snortaholics who insist on being impatient and therefore end up waisting a large % of their medication.

I'm sorry I don't have much experience with Fentanyl, Hydromorphone, (Dilaudid is just a brand name for Hydromorphone btw) As far as I'm aware you'll have similar pain withdrawing from these medications....

Good luck.

Yea, it is better (considering BA is roughly the same) to pop em... it'll be the same relief and it will last longer.


As for fentanyl, it lasts much shorter than oxycodone... however, if you're on the patch then it won't matter.

Yes, you can snort it and for the first few days, you may get a nice, euphoric buzz.

(i'm on opana)

However, to me, Roxi (when snorted) wears off quickly. If I was to do a 30 right now nasally, in an hr, I wouldn't feel any buzz or pain relief, that's why I don't snort roxi much.

Take it orally. I mean, nothing wrong with a bump here and there, but after a while, it's a waste.

As for Fent, hell naw, scared of that drug...easy to OD on, especially with benzos/ddc.

Good luck.

So young sweezy gets 480 hydromorph contin 30mg capsules a month for a skydiving accident that left him pretty busted up. He was already on oxycodone (40mg IR x 4/day) for a spinal fracture from auto racing that never healed right.

Sweezy has found opioid converters that say orally - there is a different option for converting to IV hydromorphone - 160mg of oxycodone converts (using a 0% reduction conversion) into 67.5mg of hydromorphone.

Using that rate, sweezy would crush up the beads from 2 full 30s, and a few beads from a third, then split into 4 lines to be taken thruout the day.

options or ideas for Young Sweezy?

Update: About an hour to the minute Young Sweezy nose-vacuumed 2 of the 4 lines (so approximately 15mg) of hydromorphone powder and is feeling a wonderful warmth, can feel that under the eye "droopy/tired" feeling and definitely has some nice, controllable nodding.

Video games are very enjoyable right now, and most importantly, sciatic, cervical and lumbar pain is about a 2/10 vs the excruciating 10/10 Sweezy normally lives with.

Considering he is prescribed 16 of these 30mg hydromorph contins per day, he imagines he'll have quite a few leftovers by the time his next script is to be filled in mid Feb

Im amazed at how the hydromorphone is controlling the cervical spine and sciatic nerve pain that usually makes it difficult to even get out of bed!

I actually went to the indoor driving range and was able to hit a full bucket of balls last night and woke up this morning without significant physical agony.
